Tom Feldmann takes you through his version of “Delia” which he learned from Roy Book Binder, who learned it from Stefan Grossman, who learned it from Rev. Gary Davis. “Delia” is one of those songs that seems to have no author. One of the many early American story songs that had as many variations as there were players playing the piece. The progression is simple, yet offers a challenge with the descending bass and ascending melody in the C to F section. “Delia” is an easy piece to listen to, loved by all those who hear it. Truly one of the classic fingerpicking pieces that should be in everyone’s repertoire.
