  • Thanks to all for the very kind comments! No, I didn't make the banjo or the hat, but we do strive for the correct period sound and appearance when we do 19th century material. Glad that you appreciate it! Thanks again!

  • Lovely!

  • Truly sublime!!! Stephen Foster would surely approve!!! I grew up in a town where the grade schools are named after carpet baggers & most dads worked for the company that owned all the post-bellum slaves in Alabama. (Why did it take coal miners in Pa., W.V., Ohio & Md. so long to get their rights? 'Cause US Steel had THOUSANDS of slaves in the Pittsburgh of the South!) Add Stephen Foster's love of & longing for the South to the mix & you've got one twisted mess in the Birmingham of the North!!!

  • Wonderful! I imaging that Stephen Foster had your version in mind when he wrote this song. Great rendition!

  • I love this video! I sometimes go to Civil War reenactments and play my banjo with my roomate on mandolin, but I would love an old minstrel style banjo like that!

  • Congrats, i love this song. The banjo is superb

  • Exellent. Nice touch with great feeling.

  • thanks for this song, too many people make this into a a dirge, rather than a an appreciation of the the hardships of the poorer of our society.... thanks again

  • Thanks for posting this. Certainly gives us a flavour of how players would have looked and sounded in the 19th C. Did you make your hat and banjo?
