In his all too short recording career, Jimmie rarely used banjo in arrangements. When he did, it was usually plectrum, not 5 string. So we went with a Carter Family/Poole arrangement. We got real jolt out of using our depression era instruments. Of course Linda Jo is the vocalist, not me.

Thanks for your kind words! My wife, Linda Jo is both a train buff and a huge Jimmie Rodgers fan. The banjo did not get picked up as clearly as I would have liked, but on the other hand the recording does show off Linda Jo's fine guitar playing and the sound of her old arc-top guitar. Thanks again.

What a great performance! There's not enough yodeling in old-time music! One of my favorite Jimmy Rodger's songs. I tried bringing this song fo the C & W jam I attend every Wednesday night, but they were too used to the slicked-up, straightened-out modern country version, and couldn't follow it.
