This goes along with the tabs I sent a few folks. I'll try to play the basic arrangement and then some of the variations slowly and then up to speed. Double C tuning. When I play and sing it, I capo 2nd fret to play in D.

I learned this from one of Fleming Brown's recordings of Hobart Smith. I learned it as a downpicking piece only to find out that he actually fingerpicked this tune.

As close as I can get to the original recording/arrangement of the Leake County Revelers recording of Lonesome Blues from 1929. Thats me on '30s Supertone guitar, '30s Bacon banjo/mandolin and Bart Reiter 5 string.
