Listen to the "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag" (We recommend VLC Media Player to listen to these files.) The sheet music and guitar tabs. Jerry Lamberth shows you how to play the Rag. How I came to write the Rag. All the "Fixin's": the many, many takeoffs on the Rag. The mysterious "suppressed" Pete Seeger recording. Pete Seeger serenades General Colin Powell with the Rag. America meets the Rag in prime time: letters to the David Frost Show. The "Muskrat Ramble" lawsuit. You can hear the story of the Rag on the live album I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Sing Some Songs and Tell Some Stories ... Some X-Rated.
