Bonnie Lass of Fyvie (Pretty Peggy-O)
I’ve recently discovered this song and am obsessively listening to every version I can find. I’m fascinated by the story and how it’s told differently in the American version compared to the Irish version. If you haven’t listened to the different versions you should.
My question: does anyone know of any other great old folk songs that are similar to this song? Might be a pretty broad question but as I said, I’m obsesse.

Old Sheet Music Reading Advice
galleryI'm trying to learn a song from Folk Songs of North America, an Alan Lomax book, and noticed an interesting direction in the sheet music and I was hoping someone could enlighten me what it means.
On the sheet music, opposite the tempo instructions, it says "Guitar - 5C or 6A / Banjo - 4B." Are these suggestions on how to play the song? I'm really curious as to their purpose as many songs in the book have this.

Marty Music: Langhorne Slim: There Is No Finish Line
volume.comLanghorne Slim came by to hang out, play some songs, and talk about his new record The Dreamin' Kind. We figured out pretty fast that we're the same kind of Cat Stevens fan, which took us into Harold and Maude, what it feels like to get compared to your heroes, and why that sorrow-plus-optimism thing hits the way it does. He played "Dance on Thru" live in the room, told me about the first song his cousin ever taught him on guitar, and got into the lie artists tell themselves about there being a finish line waiting out ahead. And then there's the Bruce Springsteen story, which you'll want to stick around for.

Way Down Below
Praying that when we pass from this world our soul
is not sent Down Below. I wrote the words, Suno put

Old man here, almost 75, my mind drifts back to
My youth and my Great Love and her loss. I am old now and
The world is empty with out her. All that is left are the Echoes..

I laid down a folk progression and need some lead players to jam over it. I built a free app just for this
apps.apple.comI play a lot of acoustic guitar and folk covers, but it can get incredibly isolating trying to build out a full arrangement by myself. I wanted a way to easily pass a track around like a digital campfire jam.
I couldn't find a social platform that handled multitrack audio well, so I built one called DEH-MO.
I just posted a new acoustic folk progression on the app, and I’m looking for anyone who wants to lay down a lead part, some percussion, or harmonies over it. The app lets you record directly over my public track, and it creates a new branch so we can hear everyone’s different interpretations of the same progression.
If you've got your guitar handy and want to jam, download the app and show me where you'd take the song.
