:) I like how they received it too. Our ancestors here in the South-East U.S. mostly came from that general area for sure. We still share a kinship with the people across the water. I live in East Tennessee. My ancestors settled in through North Carolina. From what I know, my father's side are Welsh descendents and my mother's side are English. Where are you from?

It doesn't matter who wrote the tune. The Osborne Brothers owns it, no one can sing it like they can!!

Absolutely. I used to listen to the Osborne's when I was a kid a lot. I live in Tennessee, so they were always popular here.

Agree. To his credit, John Denver wrote a great song, but Bobby and Sonny really "made it theirs".

Love how much the Swedes loved them lol. Bluegrass comes from Scotch/ Irish folk music, which shares influence with Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon traditional.

Do love John Denver, but you can't beat those harmonies. Amazing...

it's funny to watch Sonny look at Bobby it's like he never gets tired of hearing him sing.

@CTN1995 I think he did it just for fun you had to know how he was back then. He was a big "cut-up" and liked to laugh.

@FlyingTiger64 Relax. I should have said "IN MY OPINION". I don't think it matters if i play banjo or not...i know what sounds good. Apparently i'm not too far off if other people are agreeing that parts of it were "a bit sloppy" or that "its not a banjo tune"..even you said he may have "intonation issues".. which made his pickin', not as impressive (in my opinon) as the rest of the band. I'm not saying he's bad and certainly not saying i didn't enjoy the song. - Cheers
