Originally by Tommy Johnson in Dropped D, performed here by Keni Lee Burgess
in Key of F. Works just as well in open D. Mostly it's eighth notes, Ragtime feel.
I have adopted the convention of putting the bass note on most
every beat: bass, brush (with index finger), pinch, brush. Chords indicate
where left hand goes but right thumb not neccessarily hitting all strings
listed. I found measure 10 difficult to play with a slide.
