Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
For the old-time Tune of the Week, 10/17/14, as played by Clyde Davenport. Learning this tune has got me looking at an old Christmas present I got one year called Homemade Instruments by Dallas Cline. Wouldn't that be a fun one to make!

Nostalgic's a good word. And thanks, Ken -- simple and sweet is a good mantra.

Very fine picking, Janet, as smooth and elegant as it comes. I remember the Cline book, originally published by Oak years ago. A great book; I made a limberjack for my kids from the drawings in that book, borrowed from the library.
