Happy almost-Friday, BHO-ers! I'm going to cut to the chase on this one and post it a night early because tomorrow is going to be a little hectic before the BIG EAST COAST STORM OF THE CENTURY kicks into high gear. TOTW is one of my favorite, relatively simple, happy-go-lucky tunes, Old Horse & Buggy.
I posted an old(er) recording in the Sound Off! forum a few weeks ago and folks seemed to get a kick out of it, so I figured it'd get a little more visibility here. I don't really have any background on this tune at all, save for the alternate title Horse & Buggy-O. Below are a few audio links to the tune, along with a newer (steel string + hat) and the older (nylon + no hat) recording of my own attached at the very bottom.
To all you in the Mid-Atlantic, stay safe this weekend! Hopefully you can brighten up your cabin fever-stricken housemates with this jolly ol' banjo tune
