I'm getting excited to try one of some similar nature. The fingerboard would be the key. But, I'm out of coconuts...

Thanks Dave. I'm in the process of redoing it with a radiused fingerboard so I can play fingered notes a little easier. We'll see how that goes.

That sounds great Jim! I liked the bowed sound too. Very bright.

Jim - thanks for posting - looks great, and sounds great!

Thanks Jamie. I'll have to find John Renbourne's version. This does go by at least three different names.

Nice version, Jim.Lovely wee instrument. You capture the "down home" feel of Doc Boggs very well. I love The Cuckoo,Pretty Polly etc. Always been drawn to minor keys.
I grew up listening to Bert Janch and John Renbourne, learning their numbers best ah could. John covered this song as I Ain't Got No Sugar Baby Now.The Cuckoo as well :)

Thanks Antony. Dock's version was a big influence on me as well.

Fantastic rendition. The rehab sounds great. I love the dock bogus version of this.
