Froggy went a Courtin' - banjo, ukulele, and bones

Froggy went a Courtin'

As I understand it, this is the way we sing it in these parts. One of the neat things about folk music is the way the same song can vary, sometimes drastically, from one region to another.

I have seen Todd (aka doogey9) breeze through one of these kimo keemo kind of songs without breaking a sweat. I have no idea how he does it. I break down towards the end a couple of times tryin to keep my "rink tum kime bo"s in line. (I suspect part of it is that he is more patient and disciplined when it comes to actually practicing) My hat is off to you, Todd, and as you have seen in the BEEFUS video, it is a mighty fine hat. (Thanks, Mr. Gregory)

So here it is, a bit of regional folky goodness, mangled by:
Yopp on banjo - thats the homemade yoppjo, without the squaky box
Yopp on bones - thats the pine ones he made
Yopp on ukulele - Its a $20 uke, capoed on the 2nd fret
