Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Minstrel (Stroke Style)
1843. a very popular song in the Antebellum Minstrel shows. Played here with a copy of a banjo made by Joel Walker Sweeney circa 1840. The banjo was reconstructed by Luthier James Hartel. Percussion is played on a Donkey's Jawbone. The sound you hear is the teeth rattling when the jawbone is struck with the palm of the hand.

You harken back to jovial times. I'm entertained! This would be a great video. I can see Laurence playing the jawbones....
