Billy in the Lowground

There are a couple of versions of this tune being played around here and inevitably the conversation starts with “That isn’t anything like Billy in the Lowground.”

The folks from the Toco Hill Jam learned a version coming out of Texas by Spencer & Rains. Most “Old Timers” and the students from the Old-Time Contra & Square Dance Band class play another version. Listen to the different versions below.

Inspiration

 * Spencer and Rains from their CD The Skeleton Keys
 * Here's the more common version played by Marty Elmore and friends at Bartow Riley's house
