A song recorded in the 20's with wholesome lyrics. I'm playing the words as sung by the duet Burnett and Rutherford. It also goes along with the singing in the key of C on a recording by Clyde Davenport, one of my favorite old-time musicians. Check out the Tune of the Week for more.
At last a tune from Ohio! Before this Tune of the Week I hadn't heard of the Field Recorders Collective CD called "Along the Ohio's Shores." It must be a good one, if this tune is a typical sample.
From the playing of Lella Todd, a Virginia fiddler born before 1900, and learned via two living legends -- John Harrod and Clara Milliner. Red Lick is a town along the Red River in Kentucky.
