I love Mike's version of this one . He's added some wonderful things of a Clarence Tom Ashley direction to this clip . He is informing Ashley's touch for us all . Thanks Mike . You gave us all so much . Guy
Suze, this is an incredible rendition. If you haven't yet, you should check out the early Newport folk festival CD's 62 to 64 I think contain this song and many other great artists, C Ashley Doc Watson, Docc Boggs and many, many others, Thanks I found this on your channel...Reg

Ashley learned the tune at the turn of the 20th century not the 19th, as it reads in the info section.

@MrPennswoods believe it's in G modal aka "sawmill" tuning-- on banjo from 5th to 1st string it's GDGCD

was he related to Pete Seeger?

Mike was Pete Seeger's younger half-brother. They came from a very musical family. There's a brief summary biography of Mike on Wikipedia.
