Notes: Sonny recorded this on a relatively obscure album, "Down Yonder, by Wade Ray and the Country Fiddlers," with Sonny O. on banjo and Homer and Jethro on guitar and mandolin, respectively. The A part of the banjo break employs several backward runs, and it is interesting to contrast it with the more common break first recorded by Eric Weissberg in 1963 and then by Bill Keith in 1965. I have included a section of their A part for comparison.
