Thanks for sharing this video. I started a page that presents the text of selected 19th century dance and play songs. I reposted your video under "Ole Joe Clark" so that I and other folks could get a sense of how that tune sounds. Google Cocojams American Banjo and Fiddle Songs.
Is that a Wildwood Soloist? Absolutely beautiful banjo. My dad taught me to play on his Wildwood Balladeer, which is the open-back version of the same banjo so I recognized it right away.
I showed this to my guitar teacher because he plays banjo, and he said he remembers you, he bought his Gibson banjo off of you. Nice pickin' by the way.
This is really good. One guy with a banjo puts to shame the phony country "stars" with cowboy hats, light shows and big band backup. Would be nice to know he is in AL so could hear more of him.
Great happy new year !
