The Glendy Burk.

A Stephen Foster song, as found in James Buckley's New Banjo Book published in 1860. We're playing at the gravesite of Captain Isaiah Sellers (1802-1864), who Samuel L. Clemens claimed to have appropriated his pen name "Mark Twain" from. Sellers is buried in Bellefontaine Cemetary in St. Louis, Missouri.

Frank "Pompey" Aufmuth plays the bones.

Wow! You guys are really good!! Great banjer pickin'!

[allenjmsmith]

Excellent! Well done, you men. I believe you've captured the essence of the minstrel style, and, unless I'm mistaken, you're doing the minstrel style of picking, rather than the later frailing style, which I think must have evolved from it.
