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.
