Blasting on my living room speaker, that sounds great, Greg!!!
For the annecdote, I had my laptop set to the living room speaker to listen to a friend's son's MP4 and forgot about the patch. When I clicked your "Pigs" link, I was expecting a tiny, laptop sound. Boom... I got real music instead!

Thats awesome! Thank you for letting me know and I appreciate it! Been practicing this alot to the Bruce Molsky transatlantic version. Around 88 or 90% speed. Happy with progress so far. Thanks again @bocaholly!
EDIT: Posted version 2 today. I think thats the one you listened to. Either way thanks!

@Mark thanks!
Cant give the link because of some suggestive language in it but if you want a different kind of take on this tune, Mark Knopfler put lyrics and a very cool drum groove and some nice overdriven electric guitar to it. Look for Oklahoma Ponies. Like I said has some lyrics that arent G rated in a couple of spots. Bruce Molsky ( I think, he is listed as fiddle along with another gent ) plays fiddle in it at about half way through to the end.

GregW, first time I heard the tune was Jay Unger, Molly Mason and Bruce Molsky playing it here.
