Thanks for listening, Monica and Helen. I appreciate your encouragement.
Wonderful Dusty.
I have never heard this version, I love it!
That's a lovely version Dusty. I didn't know the tune had 3 parts. I can't actually remember where I picked up the 2 part version I play? I think it was from listening to Nick my banjo playing friend playing it. As Jan says, it is a very haunting tune.
Thanks, Rob and Gail.
Rob, I only play the song once through (there are 3 parts), so you're right it should be longer. I have a tendency to jump the gun and post a song as soon as I've learned it, rather than waiting until I have a more formal arrangement fully in hand. I think I'm eventually going to do this one at least twice through, the first one nice and slow and then the second one much faster. But stop your kidding; this is not the standard; there are so many great versoins of this tune.
Very nice, Dusty! Love the sound of that.
That's a great rendition, even tho' it's too short! I've been trying this morning to get something that sounds 1/2 as good by retuning. Haven't found it yet. Probably because this one is the standard to which I'm aspiring.
Thanks, Jan! Thanks, Lexie!
Very pretty Dusty! Love hearing those drones.
Haunting.....I like it!
Thanks, David. There are a few different ways to play this one. They all either use a capo or a minor tuning.
Pretty neat Dusty, trying to follow looking at Helen Johnson arrangement in DAD. Really nice job.
Thanks, Patty. I'm in DAA with a capo and lots of drones. Definitely not my comfort zone.
Wow! I like this!!! And you did it in DAA tuning too
