Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine and a young Keith Carradine we're all great in that film. It was just a fun movie to watch growing up when I was a kid. A No. 1 to Portland on the "19". Nostalgia sure is a funny thing.
Thank you for sharing this. I love this song and it has such a (to my ears) cheery vibe which is a nice counterpoint to the darker sound of the instrument. I also love the simplicity. Thank you again 😊🎵
When I heard the music the first thing that came through my mind was the Seabees driving a bunch of locomotives stacked up with liquor in South Korea, precisely "highballing through the yard" and across the North Korean army. We have the soundtrack, NOW we need the movie. 🤣🤣🤣
Every time I have to hightail it out of the driveway and get to work, I play this. (Also when I come to some spicy curves near my work, I think “aaaand fan the automatic” 😂)
Highball = "green signal" / "go fast" / "clear track" kind of thing. We had ball signals early, early on in the US. A high ball, meant, totally clear, send it. etc.
Also means, Notch 8, open throttle, haul the mail and maximum authorized speed. Highball could also mean a "good roll by." As train leaves a yard or goes by a sitting train on the main, it is the job of a conductor, utility, footboard, switchman or brakeman to ensure that there are no handbrakes on, hotboxes or dragging equipment on the passing train. Once the train has gone by and it has been ensured that there are no sparks flying, chains dragging, wheels dragging across ties, etc. the corn-ductor on the ground will radio to the head-end "highball" indicating to the crew of the train that it is safe to proceed. Or as Mark put it in simpler terms, "Go fast!"
Hey Hyce, I have two questions for you. 1. Could we ever see tabs for your songs? 2. Have you heard about or seen pictures of the C&O T-1 no.3020 after its boiler explosion?
1. Probably not, tabbing stuff out is a bit of a chore and I personally don't really like tabs, so it'd be a double sad on my end, though I understand the desire 2. I have not. Feel free to @ me in discord with them! :D
Every single time I run through a yard in derail valley I think to myself HIGHBALL THROUGH THE YARD.
Same
I replay that song on spotify every time when im shunting with the baby steamer
the intro does sound like a steam locomotive accelerating in a yard and then backing off the throttle and letting it cruise
Highball through the yard is my favorite song on the old railroad online soundtrack

One if my favorites from you, the energy and fun of this song gets me jamming every time.
Thank you, Hyce, for sharing 'Highball Through The Yard': I love it!

March 11th, 2023 to now. I get to hear this. I love it so much because Hyce gets to talk about his music and we get to learn
I could listen to you playing this all day!
Amazing Grace and Mail Run are two of my three favorite songs you made. It'd be awesome if you could cover these!
I love how in the this piece, the guitar almost acts like its own percussion, allowing it to feel full and complete without having any actual drums.
What I think would be fun to see is you riding on the side/inside (with the door open) of a boxcar playing guitar at the museum.
Really nice Hyce!
13:14 that laugh make me laugh first time this day thanks Hyce ^^

I enjoy hearing more about your music!

Absolutely love it

Hooray you are back
what does the phrase "highball" mean? not one im familiar with in the UK

If experiment enough night job start to come in
Pretty much, same tuning, similar note choices haha
I got the same sort of thing with ending up playing a bit of mountain branch
I have to ask, how do I work OBS?
That's a better question for Google than for me, unfortunately.
@@hycestudio5084 Okie, who knows, maybe I can work for you on the ES&DT, or I could put you to work on the TB&RGW
