"Dark as a Dungeon" Annie & Mac Old Time Music Moment

This is a great coal mining song written in the mid 1940's by Merle Travis. Mac plays banjo in an old three finger style and Annie accompanies on rhythm guitar.

@ggrunau Thank you! The banjo is a Deering Vega II modeled after the Vega banjos of the 1920s & 30s with a tubaphone style tone ring.
