Banks of the Ohio" is a 19th century murder ballad, written by unknown authors, in which "Willie" invites his young lover for a walk during which she rejects his marriage proposal. Once they are alone on the river bank, he murders the young woman.
The first recording of the song was by Red Patterson's Piedmont Log Rollers on August 12, 1927..... (thank you wikki... ) m :))

Mike, you did a superb job of this classic song. Yes, I gew up, listening to Joan Baez's version , also. In fact, I think I still have it on one of her CD's. You are so talented, and I enjoyed this so much! God bless, Charlie

Mike, you are magic -- you have turned this old and well-known song into a thing of fresh beauty with your lovely guitarwork. Those delicate embellishments, the gentle slides... I wish I was 10 per cent as creative as you are. Zs

I find myself utterly fascinated by your fingerpicking and often watch your videos over and over trying to work out those little passing notes. Keep 'em coming Mike.

lol.. if you listen carefully I haven't worked them out either.. that’s the beauty these days of great technology.. there are many of us who would happily admit to wearing out track upon track of the old vinyl records trying to learn a song by ear in times gone past..
