Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
When Wade Mainer and the Sons of the Mountaineers played at the White House in 1941, President Roosevelt requested this song. I was reminded of it last night after watching a three-part interview with Wade by David Holt on YouTube. Wade performs the song at the age of 97 in his distinctive two-finger, up-pick style. He is over 100 now and we owe him our gratitude for the music he's left with us.
