  • Most of my lyrics for "Stagolee" (Stagger Lee, Stack O'Lee, Stack-a-Lee) come from a recording of Mississippi John Hurt. My banjo arrangement is from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky, who also uses this melody for "Black Bottom Blues."
    Shelton "Stag" Lee was a notorious pimp who, on Christmas Eve 1895, shot and killed Billy Lyons in a St. Louis saloon. A stolen Stetson hat allegedly caused the incident. Lee did go to prison, but he was never executed.
    My instrument is an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned ~ fB♭FB♭C (two frets below) gCGCD.

    Fun fact: The Rulers, an old ska band, used this song as a spring board for their song 'Wrong 'Em Boyo', which was covered by a ton of artists including The Clash.

    Grew up in the coal camps in eastern Kentucky on the West Virginia border and only in middle age have I started pickin’ a banjo. Thank you so much for the history and banjo schoolin’! Your music is so real and powerful.

    Could you next do a tutorial about 3 stringed banjos? I'm a historical reenactor who does 18th Century impressions but I also play the banjo and would love to depict the banjo's history along with the people I portray.

      I have built and played several 18th century style banjos. To see those videos, search for Clifton Hicks Gourd Banjo.
