  The guitar in the photo is a 1929 Nick Lucas Special Gibson. The guitar dad is playing in the recording is a 1934 D-18 14 fret Martin.

  I’m amazed that you can recognize it just by sound! Thanks for commenting. I hope your dad is well, he’s left a treasure trove of recordings behind for fans like me to sift through

  @@TheCalman123 I did until about 1980. I was a good technical musician, but not good enough. Honestly, I was good enough to play back up fiddle, mandolin in many bands. But not good enough for Dad's level. I did not like being on the road, nor the amount of drugs in that environment. Dad did not drink and only smoked marijuana, but many people at the festivals used other drugs and drank heavily. I just didn't like the constant travel nor was I good enough talent.

  @@leeblake3989 understandable. And kind of impressive that he didn’t drink, sounds hard to be a teetotaler in that scene. Does your dad know about all of the many obscure KZread clips of his performances?

  A friend of mine played and sang this song back then. He said it’s alright to know what is right as he worked in the mines

  Lovely - the melody is what counts and variations close to it - and not playing too fast; very tasty flatpicking.

  Great version. A little slower and emotional inflections throughout.

•

  Yeah I think the pacing and inflections match up better to the lyrics than on the album version

  I love this song,, dedicated to his first wife, Annie, and first recorded on Norman's 1972 LP "Home In Sulphur Springs". He plays it faster on the first record than here.
