Brilliant. Great sounding banjos too.

Glad to see that there was no smiling at the funeral, except from Joel at the very end, but I guess that was because they played so well :-)

Joel Hooks is the S. S. Stewart disciple here, not me, but I will tell you what he told me-- this tune is an example of his sense of humor. The author "Bolsover Gibbs" is likely Stewart himself. "Gibbs" was a loutish sort prone to fighting and drinking. The humor implicit in this tune is perhaps that the "old jawbone" was a tired old warhorse by the 1880's-90's-- so good riddance. I had picked up Joel at the Baltimore airport about 4 hours before we played this. It was a really fun trip.
