My arrangement of the classic. I've heard the lyrics were Foster's. I can't confirm it. I learned them from a musician named Steve Seal who played with Ace Weems' Fat Meat Boys. Steve played bass for my group as well as fiddle and banjo.

My darling and I visited a friend of ours half way across the State of Missouri just to play a lot of music in a few hours. Don and I had never played this song before although I remembered hearing Merle Travis sing it many years ago. This is truly a jam session piece with Don and me "learning on the fly". I think the results are pretty darn good. - - - - - Guitar and Singer: Kevin Kennedy (thanks for inviting us to your house); Banjo: Don Huber; Mandolin: Me - - - - -Song history- Song can be traced back to the 1890s and the tune was collected by Cecil Sharp in 1916.

Mandolin and guitar recorded on a pocket size four track recorder.

Another recording on the four track digital recorder. I play mandolin, guitar and sing both voices.

An old scottish reel, that has made it's way from Scotland over Ireland and eventually landed in the Appalachians and has become a part of the old-time repetoire. I play this on guitar and mandolin. I have learned it from some tabs that came with a DVD from Homespun Tapes, The Norman Blake Mandolin, where he plays with his wife Nancy. Highly recommendable. Norman Blake is one of my favorite players both on mandolin and especially on the guitar.
