First pass at Charlie Picket's Down the Highway. I fingerpicked it so it's turned out my way (I don't flatpick)

I'll be the first to say 'nice work, Phil' ..sounds like a fun song to learn and play..I'm not familiar with Charlie Picket's work, so it was a treat to hear your version, fingerpicked or no..Regards, Tom

Charlie Pickett played with Sleepy John Estes and Son Bonds in the 30's and made only a couple of solo efforts. I've been listening to this one since the 60's and never gave a thought to playing it until John Miller referenced the song in one of his learned expositions.
