@RealMadMartigan I believe the song is originally from Dock Boggs done in the1920's, and Ralph Stanley did an excellent cover, which was used in O Brother Where Art Thou
@BenDuvallIrwin Long-gone for sure! And of course the whole "conversation with death" or "death and the lady" story goes back before there were any white folks in the Appalachians, though it's hardly "as old as the hills" as the saying has it- probably only came together as such in the last half millenium or so...
@jeanhaliburtonwills yeah, I've heard that said but never investigated. It wouldn't surprise me- there's certainly a lot of new music that's claimed as old and vice versa, and so often some kind of mash up...
Oh man I was planning on doing this song soon. Your one of the artists that convinced me to play fiddle and I eventually wanna do the oldtimey grip like you play and sing at the same time... I just checked a couple of days ago to see you had done "O death" like 2 years ago and im wondering if is coincidence you do it again now lol.
Anyways just kinda strange I guess as always love your stuff and you definitely turned this one into a stageworthy performance thank you for sharing.
I have to say that THIS is my favorite version of "O Death"!
Fantastic job!!!

@RealMadMartigan It's a traditional Appalachian song, the author is unknown and long-gone.
