I usually capo II and play in D because the mandolin plays in D.

This is my interpretation of Tom Rush's playing. I don't think Michael Smith has recorded it, but he did play it for me when he performed in Cobourg, Ontario (Folk At The Forum) about twenty years ago. Norm Hacking was a regular at Folk At The Forum and a couple of times he brought Michael with him. He said that Tom had changed it from his version, but I can't recall any major changes.

I'm a big fan of both Tom Rush and Michael Smith.
