A second rendition of this tune played on the same, fretless Frog Banjo as version 1, but here the wooden brace has been removed and a new skin has been mounted. The new skin is thicker, and has been treated with Titebond lll waterproof glue. I play through the tune once using up-picking, and again using frailing. Listen to version 1 and compare.

Fretless Frog Banjo, tackhead with "gourd" made from recycled paper and glue. This version has a thin wood brace underneath the skin at the bridge. See also version 2 with the brace removed. I play through the piece once using up-picking, then switch to frailing for 2nd time through.

Written in the tradition of old-time nonsense songs. Played by myself on a Bruno 5-string banjo with calf-skin head, circa 1910, and my partner, Suzy Norris, playing an old banjo-uke from the same era, strung with fishing line and tuned in 5ths (we call this "the plink-plink"). I sing the verses, Suzy sings harmony on the chorus.
