- Here's a banjo tune that comes from Wade Ward (1892 - 1971) of Grayson County, Virginia. I learned this tune from a recording of Mac Traynham and Shay Garriock off their CD, "Turkey In The Mountain".
Banjo tuning is aDADE relative (g# C# G# C# D#). Frequency is 435 Hz
Here's a link to a recording of Wade Ward playing this tune.

Perfect background and really nice playing 👏. You’ve got me interested in learning tbh
Outstanding!!!!
This is amazing!
Sounds nice!
Nice drive on this one! Ralph Stanley esque👍 Never saw any of your vids until now, subbed!
Awesome job ben!
Sounds great, Ben! I've known Mac for several years now. He built me a great sounding banjo!! He is such a great guy and teacher. I love this tune. Is there any tab on this tune?
Thanks! I’m afraid there is no tab as I learned this tune by ear. I agree that Mac is a great guy and I’m thankful to know him as a mentor!
Great! Hey you look like Walter Forbes back in the early '60
I'm somewhat familiar with Southern US music, but can anyone explain why this song is so jolly considering the title?😅
Probably titled by an Irish guy :)
How long have you been playing? Would love to get into playing banjo but the only other instrument I've played is the violin and a tiny bit of piano.
I've been playing for about 2 years now, my teacher is Mac Traynham, who is a master of Southwestern Virginia Style clawhammer and I learned this tune from him. You can find him perform online and i think he teaches online too.
@@benkiserappalachianmusic Thank you so much for your response! That's insanely fast for how good you play in my eyes. That's quite motivating haha, will definitely look up his work.
Sounds great! What banjo are you using?
That's a 1920's Vega "Style N" with a fiberskyn head
