You can hear it on the re-issued Folkways CD set "Anthology of American Folk Music"

According to the book "Anthology of American Folk Music" which is about the original album, the relation between the version Art mentions and that Susan mentions is as follows:

"Uncle Dave Macon influenced Pete Seeger's banjo feeling and repetoire more than any other single artist. Pete not only included this and other Macon songs in his repertoire, but puseued his interest in Macon to the point of coordinating and directing a reissue of some of Macon's best recordings, `Uncle Dave Macon (Folkways RBF-51)', in 1963."

For Uncle Dave fans, the paragraph continues:

"A few years later under Ralph Rinzler's direction, Decca also issued a first-rate collection of Macon classics, `Uncle Dave Macon (Decca DL-4760)'."

I wouldn't mind seeing a reissue of either of these two.
