Although "St. Thomas" is credited to tenor Saxophonist Sonny Rollins, it has a long history which some trace to Britain and some to Denmark. Rollins himself learned it from his mother, who would have known it as a calypso song, "Fire Down Below." This one is a natural for fingerpickers, in Drop-D tuning and generally evoking the style of the great Bahamian guitarist, Joseph Spence.
