Art Rosenbaum does the finest version of this song that I have ever heard. Just him and his banjo. An absolutely stunning rendition frailed I think---but it might be picked. It never would've come into my head to do it on a banjo or to do it this way---but it's thoroughly old-timey. I doubt he ever heard any old timer do it this way. Does anyone out there know where Mr. R. got it?? Somehow, I think this was all Art Rosenbaum. It leads off a tape of favorites I put together recently.
