I appreciate the comments Alan and John!  Thank you.

Robin...I was a teenager wearing my Catholic school girl's uniform, living in Hawaii, and listening to the Beach Boys, the Association, the Monkees...other AM radio greats :-)

I think I entirely missed the folkie scene but I keep going back to discover bits...thanks to YouTube!

You're too young to be a '60's folkie!  

Nicely played and sung, Janene!

@Steven-Berger:  I didn't even know of "Percy's Song", but I listened to it...definitely based on it.  In the recording of the Dylan song I heard on YouTube, he even references the folk singer's version of Wind and Rain that inspired his song (I heard the singer, but didn't see his version of TW&R).  Thanks for the heads up.

@Dusty-Turtle:  The song evokes images I wish I didn't have to carry around in my head!

What an uplifting tune! Obviously, not.  Pretty gruesome story, isn't it?  I will never look at a fiddle the same way.

Nice playing, as always, Janene. It's a pleasure to listen to your songs.

Beautiful, Janene! The Banjammer, I think, makes this song quite special. BTW, did you know that Bob Dylan based "Percy's Song" on this ballad?
