This is really, really, really good. Perhaps I'll upload it when I get the time. Question, though - what key are you playing it in? Your thumb seems to only be bass-ing between strings 4 and 6, like you do with a G, but the song necessitates moving to some minor chords. It sounds great, I'm just wondering how you got it to sound so great only bassing those two notes.
this has been one of my favorite tom paxton songs for many years. i used to perform it weekly when i played out in the sixties. nice guitar style there. chuck picklesimer.

If you look carefully you'll see me hit the A string on the A minor chord!
