"Shortnin' Bread" Two Finger Banjo Lesson
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- "Shortening Bread" was first published in 1900 as a poem by James Riley, who seemed to suggest that it was derived from a pre-existing black folk song.
My instrument is an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned eBEG♯B ~ fCFAC ~ gDGBD.

Have you thought about writing song about Robert L. Peters? 😂😂😊
My Dad used to play and sing this tune when we were kids.
Now I get to watch my own grandchildren dance around the garden as I play it to them.
I hope one day they'll play it to their own kids.
😊
Grow up and relax people I can’t believe how wound up people get from a picture of a kid eating watermelon. If it was a white kid everyone would say your excluding black kids after all isn’t banjo a black instrument
Had to look up what shortening bread is. Basically, extra sweet cornbread batter deepfried in lard. Sounds like a yummy carnival treat.
Goddamn people ate heavy back then.
With ~12 hours a day of manual labor, you really could not possibly eat enough calories in a day to put on weight.
Please sir, don't believe the interwebs, Shortenin' Bread is not deep fried. And if it is, somebody doing it wrong. Shortenin bread is made with shortenin, which is animal lard or in modern times, Crisco. If you wanna know..... it's not bread at all. LOL. Well, kinda not. The answer is in the name.
Thanks, man. Hope you and yours are doing well! 🔥 🪕
Thank you, Clift! Another master lesson from an academic folklorist and excellent teacher. Delightful!
Don't pay any of these negative comments any mind. Clifton, I grew up in North Carolina, around mostly Black Americans, being the only "asian boy" around. I experience rasism alot. It's absolutely true, minority groups discriminate against the smaller minority. Can't ever say I've experienced racism from any White American in my life. Growing up, any little reference made toward black people, offense was taken. I don't mean anything negative, even the word "black" would be enough to set some people off. Pure ignorance. Racism still lives in the minds of the children of the oppressed. It's a damn shame really. What you included in your thumbnail is not racist. It is simply an old picture during rougher times, of a Black American boy eating a watermelon. So if anyone takes offense to that? That's too bad. Thank you for your service. I wish I served when you did, maybe we could have cross paths.

Proud to say I learned this one without your lesson, just watched and listened to your videos. Wish I could get ahold of many more lyrics as I’m sure there’s tons
Love this tune
Been listening to this tune alot lately by the cramps. I know its a pretty old folk tune but thanks for refreshing my ears with it on the ol 5 stringer.
Some folks like water and some folks like wine
Yeah but me...i like the taste of straight strychnine.
If you get triggered by someone eating watermelon in the thumbnail, just know you’re the only one noticing their race, we all see past that
You can hear the black influence! Pretty groovy.
That thumbnail though...
Why "though"?
Should read: ¡ That thumbnail :-D !
All the more reason to subscribe!
Yeah...😬 Nice video otherwise, Clifton's a great musician, but definitely an odd choice imo given the wider historical context and malicious use of that trope. Curious to know what the reasoning was behind it. I will say the previous replies to this comment are rather disheartening.
@@SeanCeillyyeah agreed. In some interview or comment i heard Clifton say that he refrains from singing the n-word, changing it from original lyrics, because he understands the historical context and the stigma attached to it. Still it seems he likes to provocate, maybe rile up some overly sensitive people… I dont know, i think its bit unnecessary especially when the image has nothing to do with the song. Love his music and everything he does for the banjo otherwise he seems like quite the complicated character (which is secondary imo)
Btw love your fretless Banjo videos of those Dan Gellert songs, really great!!
@@spudelrudel2979 Thanks! Hearing Clifton's version of Darling Corey is what really inspired me to pick it up. Opened my eyes as to what you can do with a banjo. Dan of course is amazing too. His versions of Black Eyed Suzie and The Glendy Burke are awesome. His rhythm's just something else. Also if you haven't heard of Jerron Paxton or Rhiannon Giddens, They're fantastic too. Texas Traveller's one of my favorites of Paxton's, and Julie by Giddens is a very powerful song. Would highly recommend checking them out.
Always liked this tune, reminds me of a nursery rhyme. This pitch would be good on a long neck banjo where you get open E tuning with no capo, or open G when capo third fret. It also produces a great tone down there, guys, kinda vintage and earthy.
Your music is great Clifton keep it up.
It’s historic. That’s real.
Hi Clifton, I like most of your historic banjo videos but as an African American Man the thumbnail used for this video is quite tasteless and disheartening my brother.
How sad.
Why is that? Whats wrong with someone eating watermelon? I like watermelon too, you’d have a hard time finding someone who doesn’t
👍
