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.

  • 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.
