Hobart Smith, J.E. Mainer and His Mountaineers, Wade Mainer and the Sons of the Mountaineers, the Watson family, the Roan Mountain Hilltoppers, and the Stanely Brothers all covered this traditional song about what lies beyond the grave. It has that mountain mounful sound that I like so much. I play it in G on a no-name "catalog banjo."

Nice song Dean!  I like that traditional sound and the bounce of your banjo.

It doesn't get much better than that. You really captured the song and spirit. The banjo accompaniment gives the song life. Without the banjo it might very well be nothing but a dirge.  My hat's off to you.
