This is what i'm talking about.

Thank you for keeping American Folk music alive. Label it Bluegrass or what ever, it was what FOLKS played then.

[Didgeman80]

Very nice, enjoyed that very much, thanks!

Is that a tenor banjo? Same tuning as a mandolin?

Sounds great!

[lewdite]

Yes it is a tenor banjo but I tune it like the first 4 strings on a guitar DGBE

Fantastic John!!! I have always enjoyed this old murder ballad. My Dead and in the dumpster was partly inspired from this classic masterpiece.

Can't go wrong with this song, Lew. Nice to hear the older version. Very appropriate for the porch setting.

[Blainesenior]

I love your sweet simple style. It takes me to another era. Thank you.

Warm regards,

Blaine

great great song ....great cover

[SirCoughsalot]

I think I prefer it this way, but I always sing the Kingston Trio version so the family can sing along. That picture'd make a great cover for your next album, by the way.

There is a great read on the internet. "Death in North Carolina"s Piedmont" Reference Laura Foster. Adds more intrigue to the song.

Great song thanks.
