Bluegrass/old-time blending for an arrangement of Dock Boggs. I used a cheapo "Contessa" banjo on this recording as my banjo was in pieces during the recording session.

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.

Double C tuning. My arrangement after learning the tune on the fiddle from the great Fuzzy Mtn String Band recording on Rounder.

My OT Fingerstyle arrangement of this great tune. First two parts very loosely based on a recording I heard a long time back of Maggie Hammons. Download to hear at proper speed.

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.
