Enjoyed your version a lot Tim. Keep 'em coming - you know a lot of really cool old songs.

Ray, if you listened to any of the Dead's acoustic sets from 1970, you probably heard Cold Jordan there. It's always been done by tons of bluegrass acts. I thought it was cool that the Dead did a tune that I heard at bluegrass shows and pickin' parties.

Anyway, I appreciate the interest and support, as ever, my friend. Thank you.
