Haven't done a full "production" in a while, so I took a shot at an arrangement by Peter Rowan of this old traditional murder ballad. I love the way he put it in a minor key and slowed it way down. Check out this version, it's really incredible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p0AryAE6Bw

The guitar I'm singing with is tuned GCE - 513 in the key of C
The banjolele is tuned CEG - 135 in C
Lead Guitar is tuned GDG - 151 in G
One string is tuned to G
Band in a Box bass and drums

Two chords: Dm and G - D Dorian for the scale.

Damn. Damn. Damn. You've aised the bar again, T. This is just fantastic. Your best yet. With your permission, I'd like to repost this on a FB page called Cool Music Exchange set up by a friend of mine from New Zealand. He will die over this!
