Nick Charles plays Georgetown/The Water Is Wide
Here's an arrangement of Mississippi John Hurt's Monday Morning Blues. Very different to his original but as is my want, I've used quite a few of his motifs and feels and hopefully some of the energy of the 1928 sessions.

Country fingerpicking owing a debt to Chet, Doc and Merle of course. Fun to play too! From the Nick Charles album "Guitar Music"
