I first heard a bluegrass version of this by Don Reno, Red Smiley and the Tennessee Cutups back in the 1950s. (Actually it was recorded by Don Reno on all the instruments and vocal parts with overdubs.) Allen Shelton at age seventeen(!), playing with Hack Johnson`s band, was the first to use "D-Tuners" or "Breakdown Pegs" on the tune. Reno did not use breakdown pegs, just pushed the strings aside with his fingers. There are many recordings of the tune, most using the breakdown, or Scruggs pegs. It`s always been one of my favorites, mainly because it`s a lot easier to play than it looks....

  • @mheffinger1

    Just tried to send you a loooong message but they tell me I`ve got to be a "friend" for you to accept it. I don`t generally mess with all that "friend" business, but all that typing.........

  • @mheffinger1

    Thanks; will endeavor to do so!

    I wasn`t familiar with Murphy Henry or Cheat-a-Keys but, thanks to YouTube and Google, am up to speed now. Mr. Henry is quite the musician and the Cheat-a-Keys look like a good solution but wouldn`t they interfere with closing the case?
