nice! I use his "shady grove" in that tuning, and sometimes I swap the words for little margaret. I still owe you a cd--great work on your cd by the way.
lately I've been decoding the secrets of banjo bill cornett and george landers. landers' "cumberland gap" is fun as hell to play in that up-down picking style.
Is this the same tuning Lee used for his version of Little Maggie? Just curious. He is truly one of the best two finger pickers in Eastern KY. I've always liked his style and he's just a nice person in general. I first heard of him from his uncle Morgan. One of my favorites he recorded was for the Smithson Folkways, and he played Pretty Polly. Now that was some powerful pickin' there, buddy.
@vcp430: tuned to fDGCD, Lee plays Cumberland Gap sort of like this, I have never played Little Maggie one could surely use this tuning to play it though.
i've heard many versions of this song, this by far being the best, that being said would you upload a few of the other songs like the battle hymn, and no letters from home i really enjoied them, no one plays like you, and thank you for serving, it truly is a debt that cannot be repaid
