"I Am A Pilgrim" in cross, it has a super juicy walk up to the 3 double
bend where it then sustains on the word Pilgrim. The song is from the
playing of the late great Merle Travis. Merle Travis said: "I first heard
a version of this song from Lyman Rager, who learned it while he was in the
Elkton, Kentucky jail. I rewrote it, rearranged it, and added to it."

revised & expanded ed. (Country Music Foundation Press, 1996, p. 48)

Subject: [Harp-L] Songs for practicing intonation?
Any songs that help playing 3 draw bends to pitch? Specifically, a
non-harmonica to play along with? There has to be a head or motif in a
song that requires as such. Thanks!
