I remember it also as played by a person, who said he was the author, at The Ark in Ann Arbor Michigan. (The old one in the house.) He had just written it at the time and said that he hoped that it would gain popularity with book and made-for-TV movie about an Appalachian family moving to Detroit. I remember that the lyrics were very like the Sally Rogers version. The book/movie might have been titled The Basket Maker, I can't remember for certain.
