I've known this ballad (in part) for a long time, and have known many singers of it. Somehow, my mind only can remember the climax, which I learned from the Kimmons family. Cameo by Fritz the dachshund.

"Tell me how do you like your snow white pillow?
How to you like your sheet? 
How do you like that pretty young bride
That lies in your arms asleep?

Well, well do I like my snow white pillow,
Well do I like my sheet. 
Best of all I love the ghost
That stands at my beds feet."

"Tell me, is Lady Margaret in the Courtyard, 
Or is she in the hall?
Lady Margaret lies in a coffin black,
Her face turned towards the wall."

"Throw back throw back that snow white curtain
Though they be of linens fine
And let me kiss those corpsy lips
That will never anymore kiss mine."

Lady Margaret (fragment)

A one off of a song I can't stop singing, a favorite for many years brought back to life. A ragged beau pulls a ragged bow.   

Ten Thousand Charms

A classic banjo piece I've been working on. Sort of a "Show Piece" for an old-time picker. Rough as a cob, but I think I've got the basic idea. By AJ Weidt, I believe in the 20's. 

Pink Lemonade (AJ Wiedt)

A song I've been singing for a long time, never recorded. "That's an angry song. I don't sing that song anymore." -Utah Phillips 

I'm playing with recording techniques, mic placement, so on, and I think I've mucked this one up a bit, but I liked the take okay. 

Rock Salt And Nails (rough Cut)
