tpbiii Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Happy new year everyone. After I lost my wife and then access to traditional jamming for more than a year, I was kind of searching around for something that might work on a ZOOM song circle solo -- something I mostly had not done since the 1960s. Well I have often talked about my 1962 Hummingbird as a nice fit for strumming folk revival stuff -- in some sense more appropriate than all my prewar cannons. Well the other guitar which I felt was sort of in that class but not quite a good for me was our 65 Dove. I generally am not a fan of maple because it will not cut very well in acoustic string bands, but as a solo strumming instrument it is very nice IMO. I was just listen to a few recordings I made months ago, and it occurred to me that -- regardless of its musical value -- it was a nice example of how the 65 Dove sounded strummed. http://vintageacousticinsruments.blogspot.com/http://www.vimeo.com/tpbiii Best, -Tom Edited January 1, 2021 by tpbiii 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuestionMark Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Great song. I recall the Kingston Trio doing it, maybe with Nick Reynolds on lead vocal. And, the rest of the trio joining in on the chorus. Thanks for sharing your enjoyable version. QM aka "Jazzman" Jeff Edit update: Just checked YouTube to refresh my memory. The song appeared on the Kingston Trio's Close Up album. The first album with John Stewart replacing Dave Guard in the trio. Nick Reynolds sang lead with Bob Shane and John Stewart joining in on the chorus. Someone whistles at the beginning and in parts of the song.
