Drunkard's Doom (At the Close of Day) Lesson
Added 2021-10-22 13:01:03 +0000 UTCI learned "The Drunkard's Doom" (I Saw a Man at the Close of Day) from Matt Kinman in Watauga County, North Carolina. My instrument is a fretless gourd banjo by Jeff Menzies, tuned d♯CFB♭C ~ fDGCD.

Thanks, James. I keep my tuners at 440 these days, and *try* to digital tune for each video.
