I first learnt this song about 10 years ago. It was the first song that opening up finger picking for me and taught me the possibilities so I owe it a lot.
I must have played it over 200 times in folk clubs, busking on the street when I was younger and in cafes. Whenever I would play it at a folk club someone would tell me the history and importance of the song, how anyone and everyone knew how to play it and if you were to turn up to a folk club at least 1 person would play the song. What an impact.
