Been wanting to learn this old tune since I heard Norman Blake's medley from the Directions LP. I finally got round to it, but I enjoyed practicing it to a funky beat on a midi machine, so I decided to mix up a midi band in my DAW in order to record it. The mandolin performance is a one-off. My first inclination was to make more takes and get every note right - but since that's something I probably can't do, and since my big flubs didn't stray too far out of key, I decided to leave them in for variety. Otherwise, no improvisation here, just pretty much the straight tune played AA-BB-AA-BBBB
