Two: "God that was awesome."

The original title of this tune is "Jump Jim Crow", a song and dance from 1828 that was done in blackface by white comedian Thomas Dartmouth (T.D.) "Daddy" Rice. The first song sheet edition appeared in the early 1830s, published by E. Riley. The number was supposedly inspired by the song and dance of a crippled African in Cincinnati called Jim Cuff or Jim Crow. The song became a great 19th century hit and Rice performed all over the country as Daddy Jim Crow.

This song was performed by T.D. Rice but is not the same melody as Jump Jim Crow.

[Fozzymaple]

With regard to the tune/song, I can't remember the entire history, but the tune was popularized in the early 19th Century, and the lyrics of another song, Ol' Zip Coon were also sung to the same tune.

You said your papa played it with a toothpick...You should try a pitch fork it might be easier...Great Job!

[bobbysbanjo]

Nice Rendition but the intonation needs work in spots.

[banjorex]

True. You've got a good ear. Wanna job as my video tech so I can focus on playing instead of staying in frame?
