Once again I was asked to go back in time a little bit. I don’t mind at all since so far, they have all been great songs. Now you will see why I had that little C chord trick on Monday, since it fits in so well with this song.

The Folk Song Of The Week is I’ll Fly Away. I love this song on frailing banjo or clawhammer banjo, whichever you choose to call it. It’s not only a fun song, it’s one that since Oh, Brother, just about everyone knows.

Have fun with it!
