Skip To My Lou - Frailing Banjo

My neighbor gave me this banjo about a month ago and I've been learning how to play it. And I must say, I'm hooked. I've been learning from Patrick Costello's lessons here on YT. Check him out, he's good teacher.

I like the frailing on this vid - very good - much better than anything I can do but it' doesn't sound like any version of 'Skip To My Lou' that I've heard before (check Pete Seeger version). In fact I reckon it's more like an up tempo version of the song - 'Sail Away, Ladies'. Check 'Groundhogpeggy' on her YT vid. She has a nice song version of it (Sail away....) where the instrumental bits sound to me like they're pretty much the same as this tune. Anyway - I like the post.
