Subject: this is real dance music
The only thing this lacks is a roomful of people dancing. I almost got up myself for a few steps and I'm 77.

Love this version. The hee-haws aren't as pronounced as on some other versions, but work well at this speed. Been trying to play it at a somewhat slower pace, but the hee-haws don't work as well.

Nice fast paced banjo/fiddle combo going on here, great rythym and sound. Got my toes tapping.

Wow...nice, frenetic, corn likker-addled version of this tune. It's sort of barely recognizable they are going so fast....but great to hear a different version. Thanks for this one!
