This version of the traditional Erie Canal was recorded first by Johnny (lead vocal and guitar) in Texas. He sent his tracks to Buzz in Maryland who added a couple of vocal tracks and banjo tracks using a 1926 vega with a handmade long neck and a 1962 folk-ranger vega. Buzz found public domain photos and produced the video. Interestingly, although they've recorded several songs with videos (2 are posted on Johnny's channel: johnny102marvin), Buzz and Johnny have never met.
Great job, guys! I remember hearing a version of this too sung by Bruce Springsteen.
