Heard this rabbit song on the Bill Dillof CD (Dillof, Rice & the Cuyahogians). I just fell in love with it, learned it and here it is in gDGDE. The song originally titled "Big Eyed Rabbit" was from a Samantha Bumgarner 78 rpm recording.

I learned this song from a recording of Earl McDonald's Original Louisville Jug Band (Atlanta, GA, March 30, 1927). I did notice that "Jugband" in not a Genre. Banjo Tuning: aDADE Style of finger picking: anything I had to do to get those notes. A parody of the song "Steamboat Bill". The recording on Yazoo "Ruckus Juice & Chittlins - The Great Jug Bands" of "Casey Bill" (should have been "Casey & Bill", but the original producers must have missed the "&") made me fall in love with Earl McDonald's songs and jug band style. Eventually I discovered "Clifford Hayes & the Louisville Jug Bands", volumes 1, 2 and 3 on RST Records (JPCD-1501-2, JPCD-1502-2 and JPCD-1503-2) with Earl in quite a few different bands, besides the one under his own name, including: “Dixieland Jug Blowers” and “Whistler and His Jug Band”, among others.
