Listen to the Original Arrangement of "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" Sung Before Joseph Smith's Martyrdom

Mormon Guitarist Ben Howington created this video of a beautiful arrangement of "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" played on his guitar. But this version is not the same as what we sing today. Howington plays with the notes of the original arrangement from when John Taylor sang it for Joseph and Hyrum Smith in Carthage Jail prior to their martyrdom.
