Bury Me at the Foot of the Mountain, which I learned from the Ola Belle Reed book by Judy Marti. 2-finger, thumb lead picking. I love the bluesy nature of this one.

In My Time of Dying, an oldie that goes back to at least 1925 and after that was recorded by Dylan, John Sebastian, and apparently Led Zeppelin, though I haven't heard that version yet. This is in sawmill tuning on my Ome Northstar.
