I just compared the opening quickly with a youtube and it sounds correct, although you'll need to tune down slightly to match the original recording.

Thanks Jon, if you think it’s accurate, that’s more than good enough for me Jon.

Well, I only briefly checked the start... (and the tuning)

For myself, I'd want to spend a lot more time checking the details (I might well do that, it's a nice track I've not heard before). But I'm sure you can do that yourself, playing along with the original, to whatever depth of fine detail you care to go...

(Remember you can slow down youtube if you need to.)

Thanks Jon. Just about three quarters of the way through Bert’s Downunder at the moment, from a great lesson I had with Dariush, you folks at BJF do a wonderful job. Cheers

Great tune. Must admit I had never heard of Jackson C Frank before this post. I did find this:

He had a foreshortened and tragic life story. Only one "real" LP (there are some outtakes etc.) but though an American he had a lot of influence on British acoustic players from the time he spent in London, which is where his tunes and playing came into the repertoire of Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Al Stewart, Nick Drake, and this other US to UK visitor, a guy named Paul Simon.

...and Sandy Denny was his girlfriend at one point. Great voice, fabulous songwriter.
