Such a treat to share the stage with fingerstyle master Loren Barrigar at Tunes By the Tracks in Clifton Springs, NY.
Loren Barrigar was the featured artist on Oct. 18, 2023 at Tunes By the Tracks in Clifton Springs. I was lucky enough to have him accompany me on this favorite Guy Clark song.

The first historical record of the song was by ethnomusicologist John Lomax in 1909. He reportedly recorded it as sung by an African-American woman named Dink. It’s been covered by many, especially during the folk music revival decades of the 1950s and ‘60s.
