The Shade Tree Boys
recorded 1969 at the Jade Club
Hal Smith: guitar & vocal
Henry Beebe: banjo & vocal
Zoomer Roberts: bass
I never thought to ask Hal and Henry where they got the idea of doing this as a bluegrass song, but it's a safe bet they took Don Gibson's 1960 version and simply sped it up.

What it is...
I've been playing music in the El Paso area for nearly fifty years, and I've accumulated hundreds of tapes along the way. Here they are. Most of these performances were captured with inexpensive portable equipment in living rooms, taverns, houses of worship, festival tents and theatres. Some were recorded off the radio, some directly from public address systems. A few were actually recorded in professional recording studios. Some of these hands are folded now, and some of these voices are stilled. This is what I've done, where I've been and who I've known. This is my scrapbook.
