This song was written by Bill Halley and recorded first by Jimmie Rodgers in 1932.

Sounds good. It's not too often we get a 3/4 in here these days.

I like your choice of song! For my taste, I would like all the accompaniment to be quieter--i found it a little too cluttered and clanky. I think it would have been nicer as a more simplified piece. Real good handling of all the BIAB components.
