Well, rummaging around some of my old files, I came across this practice recording that I made ten or twelve years ago with Brian Clancey and Tom Speth. I don't claim to be a good singer, but there are some pleasant moments in this that I thought were worth sharing. The banjo is tuned to open D, what else is new.

Don, that's beautiful. It actually made my eyes well up. My mother taught me that song back around 1938, when I was 7 years old. I don't think I've heard it much since that time. Thanks for bringing back an old and almost forgotten memory.

Awfully nice banjo picking, particularly beautiful in the second-to-last solo.
