I been listening to various versions of St James Infirmary and just ran across Adam's Nat Riddles and friends clip. This leads me to the Sasha Masakowski version. She's a whole lot sexier than Arlo Guthrie's version with the University of Kentucky's symphony orchestra Does anyone have any favorites? (Preferably with harp, but if sexier than Sasha's I want to hear that too) I been playin' this on harp and just don't quite know where to go with this, but I'm becoming obsessed.

Try it with a harmonic minor tuning harp.

Jim Rumbaugh has a version that he posted a while back. Every musician tweaks the lyrics a tiny bit. Jim did a particularly good job coming up with a couple new verses...



And of course, Satch had a pretty famous version...



Hugh Laurie and Cab Calloway both have great versions too

There is a fellow on MySpace, his name is Dave Mowat. He has the best version done with a harp that I have ever heard. I couldn’t get the song to play however, maybe you will have better luck. Cheers!
