Jon Bekoff Project for the Advancement of Georgia Oldtime Music for January 2020 presents Evan Kinney teaching a Fiddlin John tune "Engineer on the Mogul". Simple G tune with a classic Georgia bowing pattern.

Guitar back up by Isaac Spence, a college student. Both Isaac and Evan's dads used to jam together.
