Robert Johnsons stunning love song. I first heard one line of this from David Crosbys singing on the first CS&N record in about 1969. I was stunned by it. Finally heard Johnsons version some years later. This is mine.

Dear Diminished Chord: I’m not sure that pulling your attention off the cases at hand was a good thing, but the compliments are most welcome. I love NOLA and southern Louisiana. Many friends in New Orleans and in Lafayette. I’ll hope to get work down there again soon. My schedule is always up at our Cattail Music website.
Dude! Awesome! and you better come on down to New Orleans where we can see you live!! Me and my attorney friend were meeting the other day where we were supposed to be discussing important cases– instead, we spent most of the time talking about your great teaching video on Robert Johnson songs!! The video is helping me learn his tunes, but this is the truth, they are harder to learn than even Jimmy Hendrix riffs—and I can play most of his stuff fairly fluently. (check) This is great stuff.
awesome!!!! I play it too.. and I love the lyrics and the feelin´some much! Thanks!
very nice version you kinda look like greg allman which aint a bad thing ha ha
This is nice…
this is still my favorite all time version hope you visit europe
Exellent.I’ve got this on your also exellent instructional DVD; where you demonstrate the influences that Lonnie Johnson had on Robert Johnson and this tune, also, seems to be rooted in Blind Blake’s Sitting on Top Of The World.
That’s a good idea, Hillary. Thanks for noticing the arrangement of that tune. It’s available on my first CD, "Jealous of the Moon," via our Cattailmusic site
cookin’ buddy
Scott, this is just phenomenal. Thank you. We met at Swannanoa Gathering years ago. And here I am asking for a favor. Please, please put up some kind of video of your version of Wayfaring Stranger so I can share it with everyone I know.
Cheers, Izolda
@electricragtime: I expect there are many thousands of folks for whom this is true. Music connects us in good ways, eh?

I have heard hundreds of versions of this song and I can say without a doubt this is the best of them all …and funnily enough my introduction to it was exactly the same as yours…funny world Eh!!!
muy buen gusto para tocar y cantar, te felicito! Goyo, de Argentina
Al,
I’m glad you found and liked these performances. I have always really loved this tune.

this again is my fav version after the original

WBOS, That is an old (1931) National guitar, pawnshop find back in 1991. You will find newly minted National Resophonic Guitars, as well as other resonator instruments available today. And it has taken years, I guess. Everybody runs at these things on their own timetables.
Scott, That is amazing!! Thanks for sharing. I love that style of bues. WHat kind/model guitar is that? Would it takes years to learn to play like you??
You’re most welcome. I’m actually sitting in the hallway outside the auditorium, taking advantage of the wireless network on campus. See you soon?

Thanks for coming to Rockingham Comunity college
Awesome, just a perfect song. Your phrasing is excellent. Thanks for the gift.
I can’t say enough good things about your tone. One of these days I’ll have to dip into the cookie jar and pay for a steel-bodied.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Yes, in 2007. Doug MacKenzie opened that show. We’re working on video of the show from this past Thanksgiving and hope to post some of that later this summer. Stay tuned.
And thanks for the compliments.

Wonderful then, wonderful now.
Entertaining us all, I’d say.
