A very nice version, I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ju6nrn3- XU   Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 2252 Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Sunday, January 31, 2010 - 05:13 pm:    Thanks for that link Rob. It's not just a sloppy knockoff.   Charles Coy Member Username: Coy Post Number: 176 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Monday, February 01, 2010 - 08:26 am:    ..thank you, really enjoyed this one...it also shows again how brilliant the Go'B's were and still are...   Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 1734 Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Monday, February 01, 2010 - 10:59 pm:    Very nice version by one of my current favorite bands covering one of my two favorite acts. The Decemberists have also covered my other favorite, Robyn Hitchcock, so they are two for two in my book!   Geoff Holmes Member Username: Geoff Post Number: 637 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - 05:59 am:    Does anyone know what Colin Malloy was actually playing? Balalaika?   Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1459 Registered: 08-2006 Posted on Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - 12:51 pm:    Or a bouzouki? It's some lute-related thing, I think.   billy Member Username: Bongo_billy Post Number: 8 Registered: 06-2008 Posted on Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - 05:12 pm:    A cittern, perhaps?   Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 1738 Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2010 - 10:34 pm:    Looks like a cittern to me. Kate Rusby plays Peter Barton Guitars, and Peter makes citterns. http://www.peterbartonguitars.co.uk/inst ruments/gallery.html
