Old Yeller Dog - Clawhammer Banjo

I reckon every banjo player should have a dog tune, a chicken tune and a train tune ! Well here's my first dog tune and the others are on the way.
I first heard this played by Mary Z Cox and fumbled this together by ear and went from there.
Also at the end there are some photos. The first being of me after the Penzance Spring Flower Show which has just happened.........Oh Yes !!!!!
The other photos are for Guy Wolff to see who you can see making wonderful flower pots and making wonderful music right here on Youtube

theres another youvideo tube for a clawhammer guitar lessons website, and the guy plays the EXACT same thing on guitar except its called Waterbound. Coincidentally i just listened to it and came upon this and noticed this similarity...what are the chances. Guess that just goes to show how much folk songs vary by region, because of its hand-me-down tradition, rather than the pop we hear on the radio and can't escape from its so universally known.

@pentacleofvenus Hi and thanks for listening. If you listen to a few versions I think there are differences. Both tunes have been around for a while.
