This recording is from a jam I had with my pal Don Couchie, from East Bay, sitting around our campsite one quiet morning at Clifftop 2012, up on Geezer Hill. This is the classic western version of the tune, based on Pee Wee King's 1950 C&W hit, complete with the third part, often called the "Little Egypt" part, that is sort of frowned upon in some old time circles. Don is fiddling, I believe in DDAD, I am picking my semi-fretless Tubaphone in open D tuning (aDF#AD).
