I can find it on the mudcat midis, but I would like to hear it as the Carter family did it, or some other group, the midi is just a simple melody, and not a actual presentation of it. Thanks a lots!! |

I should think you can get the Carter Family version on CD if you look around. |

Called "Music From Rancho de Ville", the album is a tribute to Charles Sawtelle, late guitar player the bluegrass band "Hot Rize". |
