Great peformance, great song. I love the playability and tone of parlour guitars, don't know why they're not more popular. The Tanglewood TW73 is a pretty good all solid cedar and mahogany copyof this Martin for a quarter of the price.
Thanks for posting.
Stumbled onto this here song by way of Dave Van Ronk's book "Mayor of MacDougal Street" where Chapter 4 talks of the early folk music sessions (1956) at Washington Square. Tom Paley was there. You Tube is making Van Ronk's book come to life! Paley's blues fingerpickin' here is just heaven.
Tom is still ramblin' around...and sharing his great music! He played in Chico Calif. a couple of years ago. I am glad i can hear and see him on You Tube. He plays great Swedish fiddle tunes..as does his son, Ben.
I rode up to the Northland bluegrass festival in northern Wisconsin with my friend, and we gave Tom Paley a ride to it. He had many good stories to tell and was pretty damn hillarious. He played this song at the show. Before the festival, I had never heard of Tom Paley. I will never forget that experience of getting to know him over the festival.
