This is a a pretty different arrangement of this wonderful Hartford tune... it ranges from very sparse to x-treme lush on verse 3 (which introduces for the first time ever the All Natural Men's Glee Club - egad what you can do with Garage Band!! )

Banjo is The Mutt tuned down to E. The guitar is played in D, partial capo'd up to E (using a banjo capo, BTW), leaving 6th tuned to low E. Stand-up bass is midi - boo hiss - but I don't have room for a real one.

Begging the pardon of any John Hartford purists out there... enjoy!
