Subject: RE: Tune Req: Long Time Traveling
Frank Proffitt's presentation of the song, recorded only a short while before he died, is on his Memorial Album (Folk-Legacy C-36), and Jean is absolutely right, it is virtually a different song when performed with accompaniment and a more strict rhythm. Very different from the way it would sound lined out in her rural Kentucky church. Good though! And I love the tune with it's modal intervals.
