MY GRANDFATHER'S CLOCK played on a Deering Goodtime banjo by Jed Marum - at home, unplugged. This old American classic was written by Henry Clay Work in 1872. No dueling banjos but a classic song, none-the-less.

My Grandfather's Clock is a Public Domain song with a known composer (Henry Clay Work, 1872).

  • What kind of banjo is that you're playing on? For a no resinator type, it has a very bright and wonderful sound. I'm looking for a banjo that does it all---clawhammer and bluegrass. That one looks like a good possibility. Great job on the song and thanks for posting it.

  • @d2majzoub - well when it comes to answering comments in a timely manner ... I guess ya just can't rush onto things!!

    The banjo is a Deering Goodtime. It's a low cost, but very nice little banjo. It sound great and pays well. bright I have the head twisted down pretty tight and the strings tuned to A - for that bright sound. I love it. I've about worn it out!

  • Ive never heard the words to that tune

  • There are four verses and a chorus to the song - written in an era of language we might today consider flowery and laborious! They are lovely, none-the-less and expertly paint a rich picture of life and values from a time not too far out of reach.

  • It all sounds better on a blue banjo!
