Listen "O Death/Glory in the Meetinghouse"
Episode Synopsis
This is a reload after my media files were completely deleted.
While this is not the last time I will try recording this song and tune, it's what I did a few years ago. I like the idea of singing acappella at different times in the song though those times are not set in stone. O Death is adapted from Dock Boggs banjo version and Glory in the Meetinghouse is from Luther Strong. The fiddle is tuned EDAE (a tuning which I think works better than standard tuning for those who have adapted fiddle versions of Hobart Smith's banjo tune "Last Chance").
