A Site Dedicated to all enthusiasts of Classic Style Banjo
Another hit song composed by Kerry Mills, this one published in 1899. At the Saturday night concert of the 1988 Tennessee Banjo Institute in Murfreesboro, TN, Dan Sinclair, Clarke Buehling (both playing the lead), and I gave this performance of the tune. Tim Brown recorded it while sitting in the audience. Sitting next to him were a few other classic fingerstyle banjo players, who were well aware that Dan had started this piece too fast and that it was only getting faster as we went along. The noises they were making were because they were expecting us to crash at any moment. Surprisingly, we didn’t, and we got a standing ovation at the end. It was kind of an historic moment, since most in the audience had never heard anything like this before. I was actually reading the second part from the music sitting on my knee.
