British people were not the pioneers of country....

[tigranvartanovitch]

I like the jaws harp bit too. I'm learning the song to sing to my grandson. But some of the lyrics...the bit about the porter turning white... In case you didn't know, a drummer is a travelling salesman.

This is one of my favourite songs by Vernon Dalhart. I'm only 30 years old and I love his songs, and play them on my community radio show in Prince George, BC. This is a great video and is very nicely done. Thanks!
