My last name is Loudermilk and I don't know this guy?

@punchdrunque This is a point that needs clarification. What 'LEGALLY' constitutes a song, is the main melody line, and words, if any. Thats it. If you went into a studio, only with a tune you hummed, and a lyric you thought out in your car,and the band came up with the perfect music to compliment it, they are not writers. That is considered an arrangement. Think on it. U can take any song, keep the melody, and play the support music any style, and make it work. Thats an arrangement.

@dhaeze You have to remember, that great music like this is passed around. So you get the best results (and sometimes the shittiest of results). But Doc Watson's cover is a great version, but it is just one of possibly many. So just be happy that there are both floating around in the world.

i always wondered why some fingerpickers like chet atkins and this guy play with a classical guitar with nylon strings? (or am i wrong?) Because if you look at doc watson's version of this song, with folk guitar and steel strings, it sounds a lot better, in my opinion.

this song sounds so much better slowed down like loudermilk does it. There's always a different element about a song when the original composer plays it, very well done John D.

One of my very favourites - didn't know John D wrote it! Great story about Chet recognizing the flow

[mikeaimer]

Motifs?  I always thought there was LESS teefs in country music.

Im assuming he is talking about Chet at the beginning?
