Arkansas Traveler Chord Melody

I've gotten some comments that chord melody isn't really applicable to non-Jazz tunes. So, I thought I'd try exactly that. Here's my chord melody arrangement of Arkansas Traveler. I hope you enjoy it!

That is so cool. Thanks

"Uhh... hello, stranger"
"Hello there, stranger"
"Does this road go all the way to Little Rock?"
"I been standing here all day and it hasn't gone nowhere yet!"

Huh?

That is a reference to the Stanley Brothers recording of their take on the Arkansas Traveler skit involving a stranger asking a local farmer various questions and getting nonsensical answers. The Stanley Bro's recording is called "How Far to Little Rock".

Nice job on the tune.

Best version of Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee I've ever heard!

I was actually unfamiliar with this version, but am happy to learn of it! The version I was referencing was recorded by Garcia and Grisman as Arkansas Traveler on 'Not For Kids Only' and paraphrases much of the same dialogue from the Stanley Brothers' recording

If I remember there are two pages of jokes before getting to the B part of the tune.
