Harvey Reid does his partial capo arrangement of this old melody on a Deering 6-string banjo, in standard guitar tuning, with 2 capos. The high octave sounds particularly good on the banjo as compared to the guitar. This is similar to the 12-string version he did of this on his 1982 guitar LP Nothin' But Guitar and re-recorded on the CD Chestnuts (also on 12-string guitar) in 1994. Reid's "Artistry of the 6-String Banjo" CD from 1995 has set the standard for the inmstrument. It and most of his 25 recordings and videos are available from Woodpecker Records of York, Maine.
Used to dislike this instrument...now I want one!! Beautiful!

Wow. I'm so surprised that nobody has commented on this as yet. This is such a great arrangement and performance of this wonderful tune. Nice work.
