Wakefield's New Camptown Races

[AlanN]

I just now realized that the A part to this tune actually resembles the B part to the classic Camptown Races (you know, the 'Doo Da, Doo Da' song). Always wondered why Frank called it that, now I think I know. Just sayin...

And for recorded versions, there's:

Frank ownself
Jimmy Gaudreau
Dave Peters
Wyatt Rice
Bill Emerson

[Tbone]

Good version in Jack TOttle's Bluegrass Mandolin Book.

[AlanN]

Another two versions are by Dawg, opening track on Muleskinner (TV show) and a *terrific* rendering by guitar man Bob Harris. Bob had Barry Mitterhoff and Vic D'Amico play a harmony throughout the whole thing - just perfect.
