I'm a 25 year old mandolin player who has taken a particular interest in this song. It is one of only a few traditional songs that make me tear up for reasons I can't describe. It's as though they leave me longing for a time far since passed.
I'm interested strongly in meeting people who play traditional music to play and record with. I have a few of my own original songs, although my primary motive is to work with others interested in old-school folk music.
