Wayne Erbsen at Warren Wilson College October 4, 2009 demonstrating a minstrel banjo. Wayne plays the pre-Civil War tune Pattyroller in the clawhammer style.
Excellent!! I have all of Waynes cd's except Outlaw Ballads of the Old West. Waynes website Nativegroundmusic is the best one on old time music that I have ever come across.
thank you, very nice picking indeed

Great tune, HOWEVER, you are NOT playing this awesome minstrel banjo in the minstrel style. You are playing it in Claw hammer style.

"Pattyroller"... I guess that's better than calling the song its original title ("run n***er run").
