When I was young, I was fascinated with antiques. I bought a beautiful floor model Victrola. On nice Saturday mornings, I would open all the windows and doors and crank up that machine. I had a lot of fun playing the old music such as what you hear in this video. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did.

@likekinds Thanks, its a great song! I really like Mississippi John Hurts version and fred mcdowells version, but this might be my new favorite. I also think its cool how this African American folklore leaked into white popular culture back then. I was trying to steal some licks from the song so I made that comment so I could go right to the song in the future when im practicing guitar

Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers predate Bill Monroe!

beginning sounds an awful lot like back up and push by bill monroe as i know it. any inputs?

@piobaireachdjongleur
The music you hear is Back Up And Push. But this version is by Gid Tanner. If I'm not mistaken, it was the last recording he made.
