Wayfaring Stranger on the Stromberg Cupperphone by request

A friend asked me to do this. I know this song in about 3 different tunings. This one is played with the 2nd string played down one fret so that when played fretted at the 4th fret it and the first string sound the same. This is the simplest way to play the song, but not necessarily the best. I like all the versions. The fellow that asked me just wanted to hear it on the Stromberg. Request granted.. Thanks.

@cougar1972xr7 My hands are shot too, but somehow I can hammer with them on the banjo.

@rpeek my biggest problem is wrist and finger arthritis...I'm trying to learn the frail, drop thumb,etc. style but slow going at first....maybe I'll be good as you when I grow up ...but then I refuse to grow up :)
