Описание к видео One Too Many Mornings - Marc Nerenberg - live at the Yellow Door Hootenanny - 4 Oct 2024

This song is one of the first Bob Dylan songs that I ever learned, probably during my first year of playing the banjo, more than a half-century ago. I know it appears on the earliest extant set lists of mine tucked away in a banjo case somewhere. I don't have any fixed arrangement of "One Too Many Mornings" - so it's always different whenever I revisit it, as I do from time to time.
My very profound reason for returning to it on this occasion was simply that I found myself sort of humming/singing it quietly as I walked the dog on Thursday morning, and I thought "I should sing this as the opening song of the Hootenanny this week" (since I had not yet prepared anything, nor even thought about what I would do on Friday evening when I host Montreal's Yellow Door Hootenanny - a weekly event that first started at around the same time as I first learned this song).
This is a fairly spontaneous arrangement, that was sort of made up as I went along. It's the "old man" version of a song that had been written by a very young man, at the time. It seems to me to have a somewhat different perspective to it at this point rather nearer to the other end of life.
It was played on my 1910 Fairbanks banjo, strung with synthetic gut strings, and tuned eAEAC# (Open C tuning tuned down to A) using mostly old-time thumb-lead two-finger picking, with some parts here and there played in clawhammer style. This was recorded at the Yellow Door Hootenanny in downtown Montreal on 4 October 2024.
