This version bears almost no resemblance to the more familiar versions of "Jim Along Josie". I like it because it is spare but has a lot going on under the surface.<br /> I'm playing in F, 'sawmill tuning', on my pig-head gourd banjo. Brian plays fiddle tuned down.<br /> The tune starts out a bit rough, but warms up nicely by the hearth. Sorry about the dark fireside lighting.
