Learned early and a long time ago and forget where or from who...this version is in "D" instead of the more common tune in "A" or "G"...

Besides Gaither Carlton, Oscar Wright was probably my biggest early CH influence, listened to this tune forever back in the mid 70's when I first started playing, 30+ years later I wish I sounded 1/100 as good as Mr. Wright did when he played it...a true solo banjo tune in fCFCD...

Wild Bill Jones - thumb lead tuning fBbFBbD, based on Clyde Troxel's amazing index lead version...and as Leo Kottke so famously said, yes, my vocals sound like geese farts on a muggy day...
