Tim, where did you get this version from?

Comment by Tim Twiss on October 22, 2012 at 11:14pm

It's my own.

I mean is it based on the one found in Sweeny's Virginy Melodies published by Henry Prentiss?

No....it's more from the Gumbo Chaff book, plus how I've heard guys sing it, and how it works for me.

I referenced one more piece of music....must have been that.

Okay ( Mark ) ...I actually took a look at the second part of Old Tar River. Never paid any atttention to it. Nice line, but pretty unexpected. Not sure how to work it into an arrangement.

So, I was going to wait unil tomorrow when I have this cool gourd I am going to borrow, but in light of my impulsiveness, and the Tigers in the World Series, I'm going to go see what this thing sounds like...played as written.
