Here's a traditional tune with the Tonellis' Scott Palmiter and Bob Stoppenbach on harmony vocals and lead guitar, respectively. "Banks of the Ohio" was in the first guitar chord book I ever looked at, back when I was a pre-teen trying to play my older brother's warped-neck guitar and too goofy to realize the strings aren't supposed to be an inch away from the fretboard. If not for that, I'd probably have started playing seven or eight years sooner. For all the good it'd have done.
