Wildwood Flower with Cigar Box Lap Steel

Here's an old song played on stuff from mrbangham's junk pile, an Epiphone Les Paul Special guitar I salvaged from a flea market and my latest cigar box lap steel. They are the only two instruments used and the tracks were just dubbed in Audacity on a Dell computer that was assembled from mostly junk parts. Enjoy!
