Thanks! I've actually changed the bass line a bit to be more faithful to the tune. Gerald

Hey, this is beautiful stuff, demonstrating many fine possibilities for this tune. I was thinking of making it my Christmas offering this year but now... I don't think I'll bother! LOL! Nice job man, enjoyed it.

Thanks! Go for it anyway. You may like what you come up better. It's usually sung in Am but I changed it to Dm so I could more easily reach the bass notes plus I just like the sound of the banjo in D. It's standard G tuning with the fifth string capoed to A.
