Just been watching Arlo West on Y tube and would like to know what tune it is he is playing on 'Old Piney'
Not really my scene isn't country but like that one and the way Arlo plays it. More a blues fan!
Thanks.

Not looking good as far as getting an answer to this one huh?

Ah well, guess they don't like talking to the English?
As an aside I found out tother night that 'House of the Rising Sun' was originally about a whore house in London?

Ah, but dem words was changed. So it goes the song was taken over by slavers from Bristol!?

I don't post a lot here much these days but some one sent me a link to this thread so I thought I would pop in and let you know who's song that is.

It was written by a guy from Oquossoc Maine. He started playing guitar when he was 9 or 10 I forget since that was 40+ years ago. He built a few guitars out of pine and loves to tour in Sweden and is married to a very beautiful girl from the county. He has been going to UK past couple of years and playing with El Vato and he actually does like talking to you chaps on the other side of the pond. His name is Arlo West.

Hope that clears up the question for you.

So also was "St.James Infirmary"/"Streets Of Laredo", originally an English then Scots folk song about a man lying dying in a syphilis hospital, "Pills Of White Mercury".
