My college professor played this in class recently for our music appreciation course; genuinely can’t stop playing this. Both of you nailed this performance perfectly.
@aubreyb.9630 I love this song too! My great great grandfather was a confederate soldier and somewhere even farther back one of my great grandmothers was a native american. I live just down the road from the Bennet Place in NC where the civil war ended and I drive an old beat up muscle car with a rebel flag front plate on it!
Dan Emmett was a good creator. He may have been a product of his era, and I don’t condone or embrace the traditions of our ancestors, but these two are good musicians and I just appreciate them as a good banjo player and a guy who is good at playing the bones.
Today people say they love music, which for them is only listening to it...from all those electronic sources. Before musical recordings existed it came from family and friends who played it on their own instruments. They created music themselves. Now it is in the hands of professionals with auto tune. For all the music out there today, I would say those who existed before electronic recordings were far more musical.
Gentlemen, awesome as usual, @ s6824s I learned from watching these videos, you can get the bones at lark in the morning music company they are about 40 dollars for 2 pairs.
You want to enter this for the banjo hangout challenge currently running . They have competition for the best version of boatman on the claw hammer section.
Jessie Cooper my unit told me that for our trip to new market VA to just keep driving through WV according to them it's a weird area they drive through if you have an idea what part of the state that'd be.

Ironically, it was a famous work of British fiction that brought me here, lol.

Have always loved this one. Great rendition!
Fantastic! And great inspiration for my current book chapter that I am writing for "Love's Escape" a novella set in 1850.
This is one of my very very very very very favorite videos ♥️
Good find here. First time I've ever heard the bones. Very impressed.

Damn this shit bumps.
I used to sing this everyday when I worked on an 1850 living history farm in the early 90's! Thanks for uploading this!
I really like your version of this classic song! Great Job.
I know this from Copland's setting, but it's great to hear a more traditional rendition - I can see what attracted Copland
I love this version

Now that's rock-n-roll.
Good old song, done with appropriate looseness ;)
This is turning into an "oldcremona" kind of day. Thanks.

Amazing rendition!

From England - a great song!
Bravo! Looks like an autochrome photo come to life! Love it!

This banjo doesn't sound like the banjo I'm used to hearing. What's different about it?
It a reproduction of a 19th century banjo. Made with natural strings, not wire. Sheep intestines called “catgut”
What’s the tuning on this
Tutorial please
I think the CSA navy will rise and rise let us take charge of the war and bring them back in action
