Here's a Classic Dave Van Ronk arrangement. I knew Dave quite well back then.  He was a great Ragtime player. We used to play Chess at a local Diner at 1am after His Gig was over....Jack

Dave did Bessie proud on that one.
I learned it from his album called (I think) simply "Dave Van Ronk Folksinger."
I loved it when Dave said, "I always wanted to play jazz very badly -- and I eventually succeeded in doing just that."

Tim,
I'm sure you know about the late Happy Traum's great books on just about every major guitarist there is. He knew Dave pretty well too. Happy was the first publisher to post a few of my Guitar tabs when I first went to NYC....Jack
