Great music! I've been trying out some two finger thumb lead, so it was doubly fun to see the index lead.

Hey Marvin, What is the name of the tune you are playing on Adam Hurts enoch dobson banjo?
seanfwd 2 years ago
Marvin says the name of the tune is "why lord why:
Got an old wife 6 feet tall
why lord why
she sleeps in the bed and I sleep in the hall
why lord why
the devil won't get me I can tell
why lord why
cause I done spent my time in hell
why lord why
Marvin says the tune came from the Sand Hills of Central NC..maybe played by Alton Williams born 1910 died 1990
