Sounds good, Douglas. You might turn the banjo down just a bit - it gets a little loud in a few spots...

An enjoyable cover of this old Bobby Bare hit Doug. I have an Elvis home recording of the song as well. John

Down memory lane again. I started college during the folk boom and heard many a version of this.
Thanks, again, for the journey back....

That was an interesting new take on an old favorite - and the banjo line certainly provides the framework - it held my attention throughout. And nice work on the harmonies.

I loved the Peter and Gordon version of that song as a kid. Wouldn't call it country though. Seems purely folk to me. Thanks for posting. Brought back some nice memories.

That was very pleasant! And a trip down memory lane too. I nearly didn't check it out, as I don't always listen to the covers, but I'm glad I did this time
