Show Notes
As played by Tennessee fiddler John Sharp, I wouldn't have know I have Lake Erie on a CD by Bruce Molsky and Bob Carlin hiding under "John Sharp Medley." I'm one who appreciates detailed liner notes, but they weren't here. So thanks to Tune of the Week and Mark Gentry this week!

From the Harry and Jean West 1950's recording. I went with an old-time style of 3-finger picking and zeroed in on his vocals for a melody. The song also goes by Louisville Burglar.
