My choice for the prettiest bluegrass song of all time, great job! I used to sing this with my dad, he did the fancy picking , I played rythem and sang harmony. I miss those days so much.
Never heard anyone hit the notes so perfectly like earl. Amazing job! I tried to learn this for years, I thought I was close but this makes me look a mile away! Great work I can learn a lot from this. PS I just realized I posted a similar comment 2 years ago!
I can remember when my dad came home drunk, my mom let him have it good . He went to the old record player, put this song on. She for got all about it. I am 83, still remember that. Thank you .
Brought tears to my eyes, that song reminds me of my Dad and the way he picked Carter style, back when I was a kid in the 40s..... You sure have the gift......
It's now what we call Hogmanay in Scotland. Traditionally a time when I have a few drinks and reminisce! Still loving this version, Happy New Year to you and yours John!
Your guitar playing was a spot on attempt at Earl’s version of that tune, but the thing that stood out to me the most was the tone of your voice. It added so much to the musicality of the performance.
Oh man , now that was a real treat John!. That gtr recorded really well... Notes were very distinct. The tasty Vocals blended nicely makin for one heck of an arr.! More quarters please!
wow. I always tried to flatpick this tune, and I am not a good flatpicker. nice to see a thumbpick in operation. sehr gut gemacht, von dir will ich was lernen. danke.
That's The Best I've heard anyone play that song other than maybell Carter and sing it too
Thanks Doug!

Love this!!! You don't by chance have a tab, do you?
Hi Megan, unfortunately I don’t have tab.
Lovely playing. Can I ask what model of guitar it is? thanks
Thanks! The guitar is an Aria Pro II PW-75 I got in 1981.
Appreciated.Sounds like a Martin,really good.
Why can't someone do a video on how to play this>=?
hey John! is this standard tunning? cheers
Felipe Crocco, yes, this is in standard tuning.
Noone plays it like the late Randal Hylton.
