I love this song. It was the first song I ever recorded at a MJ 1974 concert on a hand held recorder. I have a recording of him performing it at the Tangerine Room in Denver in 1966. This video is from 1996 so he continued to perform it once a decade or so.  Smile He did it so beautifully.

This is definitely the best version of this old standard.  The versions performed by the early folkies were pretty forgettable, and Michael rescued it with his great jazz-like arrangement.  His arranging ability was one his biggest strengths.

I'll post your tablature soon. Maybe if I ever learn the banjo, I'll be able to play it.
