Pete Seeger - Little Birdie

I like the cameo appearances by Johnny Cash's shoe and the back of June Carter's head.

Stanley brothers do it best

the line: "I've a short while to be here,
and a long time to be gone."
is just like the line:
"Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there"
from "box of rain" by the grateful dead

Jerry Garcia was a big fan of this kind of old music.

merci pour ce moment de bonheur

That lifted my spirit,bigtime. Thanks.
Hey I got Wanda and June stuff on my site too .

This is an amazing version, but can you post it unsquished?

This man is a genius. A true American original. That voice, that singing style, that banjo style, that huge personality. There's no one like him and will never be again. Instantly recognizable, like all true originals. He's on the Mt Rushmore of American musicians.

anyone know how you would play this on guitar?

You might try tuning your guitar into one of the 'banjo tunings.' DGDGCD is a good one to start with. Guitar players sometimes call it 'Sawmill Tuning' and banjo pickers call it 'Mountain Minor.' Gives you a high drone on the two top strings that calls a banjo fifth string (or a sawmill) to mind.
