In the neighborhood I grew up in, it was a source of great pride that Red Rector lived among us. That was back when WNOX and the Mid-Day Merry-Go-Round was the heart beat of country music.
Perfect song to show the connection of Country Music's real roots in Scotland. Later, influences from other places fed into the style, but at its core, it is old jigs and reels. His rendition on mandolin really creates an atmosphere.
Red recorded 3 numbers with our band Sacred Sounds of Grass here in Germany along with Bill Clifton and Art Stamper.Man, did we have fun in the studio!!!

I love hearing Red play on an A4.
Thank you for sharing. He is kin to me through his wife, my cousin.
An absolute gentleman and really great and underrated musician. DWT
...Red with his 1922 Gibson A-4.
It has such beautiful tone, even on an old VCR recording it's timbre rings through
