We're looking at you and listening to the song just now....beautiful rendition. Thanks for a lovely dinner the other day; great seeing you & Jen, I see it sparked you into doing this song again! Adam & Freddie
@reyalpEleluku That's true, isn't it? There is something happy about this song. Even when I think back to the Kingston Trio version, which differs from the original,* I seem to remember a happy, boisterous rendition.
*to see the original Frank Proffitt version see Frank Warner with Pete Seeger on youtube
I'm like you... I haven't played this song for quite a while but have recently found occasion to revisit it. In fact, I played this piece for my grandparents last night before bed.
Like the soda crackers floating upon the surface of a community pond or the wild crab grass that spontaneously sprouts 'tween the concrete cracks of the neighborhood side walk,your straightforward delivery of this beloved old chestnut offers we listeners an atmosphere of honesty and unpretentious authenticity.

@adambutler65 It was good to see you again... and yes, it brought Tom Dooley to the forefront again.
