This is my take on Blind Arthur Blake's "Diddy Wah Diddy," sometimes spelled "Diddie Wa Diddie" or what have you. He recorded it sometime between 1926 and 1932, and it's been covered by Ry Cooder, Leon Redbone and other luminaries.

For a great historical explanation of what "Diddy Wah Diddy" might really mean, check out this fantastic link from Michael "Hawkeye" Herman:

This song is crazy hard to fingerpick, which leads to me making some ridiculous faces while playing.
