Trying to give the old Martin a bit of a workout
even though the guy running her isn't quite there yet

Fun song, no one wrote and played like Dave Van Ronk

Van Ronk didn't write it, it's an old Blind Boy Fuller tune. And the flatted VII chord(F)comes from the Dylan recording. He learned the song from Eric Von Schmidt.

Nice version, Old Dude Dan, thanks for posting the link. Next time, please don't be so modest: keep the camera on so we can see what chords you're hitting!

For a fuller history of the song, and some of its variations Check this out

Most enjoyable - it seems to have an extra 1:30 of silence on the end as the song goes on for about 2:30 and the clip is about 4+ mins.

I'll have to check out the others

Nick -silence - yea I forgot to trim . I am so bad at home recording no kidding. I still have not figured it all out. My home recording like my playing is a rough work in progress for sure. I hope to get a handle on this before too long. I am going to make a CD for my kids. They have been asking me for years so recently I finally broke down and bought a recorder instead of just a cheapo mike and sound card. Now, only to figure it all out :-)
