Sounds like a dance by a pretty girl. Very nice.

Glad you like it. It was commercially recorded on Alan Jabbour's "A Henry Reed Reunion" album ... much more lively than the way I do it.

I like it. It would make a good Tune of the Week.

Little late in finding your version...thanks to the Tune of the Week. Delightful tune...your fingers did a great job in picking.

And now that it really is Tune of the Week I'm even more motivated to learn it. Yours is a delightful listen!

Triple thanks for your comments, and great TOTW, J-Walk. I play it out of standard G tuning, but you've shown it works well out of double C.

Bob, your rendition of this tune is so good. Probably my favorite recorded version. I admire people who can play solo banjo like you do.
