I first heard this song on KFAT driving up Hwy 1. It was the Old and In the Way version, with Peter, Jerry Garcia, Vassar Clemens, David Grisman and John Kahn. What a moment! I had to pull over because such virtuosity demanded my rapt attention! I have to say I think it was Vassar Clement’s finest moment. The whole band was smokin’. I love this version, too, because it’s such a sweet love song. Whenever I’m feeling a little off, I just cue up this song and all is right with the world.
First heard this by the Rowan Brothers close to 50 years ago and immediately fell in love with the song. Still have the LP! This is a terrific version. He’s still got it.
Among my top 5 bluegrass songs of all time. I saw Peter perform solo in a tiny pub in Shreveport 30 years ago and these are the words he sang...memorized on the spot...I've used them ever since. A beautiful singer and songwriter.
This was the song that first got me into bluegrass when I heard someone play it at Mishawaka in Poudre Canyon around 1977. Been enjoying bluegrass and Peter Rowan ever since!
@@peterrowan6330 I will always be listening. Do you remember your shows at the Palms in Davis, CA? I was usually in the audience and again in Grants Pass, OR.

Jerry Garcia Band owned this song. Jerry of course did it a tremendous amount of respect and justice! Check it out for yourselves. 3/1/1980 - Capitol Theatre Passaic, NJ
peter rowan is excellent/ i saw him many times at suannee. he is always there in the crowd mixing with everyone else. one year i was looking at a program guide. my picture was in it . i discovered that i had heard him many years before at valley forge with seatrain. it blew my mind because i enjoyed seatrain big time especially him doing the song of job
I’m pretty sure thats Kyle Tuttle on banjo. I sang this song with him in my kitchen in 2003 and ten years later he’s onstage with the man! You go Kyle! Cumming Georgia representing!
