A swing version of this song by Laurence Diehl recently appeared on BHO. It was popular and received many comments. I though BHOers might also enjoy this version that I recorded at Suwannee Banjo Camp in 2015. It features double banjos by Scott Anderson and Alan Munde, with Gerald Jones on mando and Niki Portman on bass.I think Anderson, who hails from Florida, put this group together for this song This was part of the faculty concert at SBC, recorded on an Edirol pocket device some 25 feet from the stage. The room is large with lots of hard surfaces, making for a good deal of echo and fuzz in the song. Despite, the musicianship is fine.
