"William Hall" Lesson
Added 2022-09-16 15:00:08 +0000 UTCI learned this rare, early ballad from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. Gibson said he learned it from Orgus "Gran" Hudson, also of Knott County, about 1960.
Cassette tape recordings of Hudson do exist; however, they've not yet been published or digitized.

Many thanks! I shall lead from the melody

I then worked through the remainder of the verses, amending them here and there to make them all fit that initial melody pattern I came up with. When George played it for me, however, some verses were longer than others, and his picking pattern fluctuated with those differences.
