After hearing Gabe Hirshfeld (banjo1930) play a terrific version of this the other night on the Chat, I remembered I had a Wry Whiskey recording of this around somewhere. This was recorded in 1998, with Brian Clancey on guitar. The banjo is tuned to open D (aDF#AD). I liked Gabe's version better, but I still like this one, too.
