Nice video. I've posted my own (mediocre) version on my page.

Bert Layne is also playing fiddle on this track.

I love to hear Riley Puckett, he was ahead of his time and deserves more credit for his contributions in the foundation of country music. He had perfect timing on guitar and voice unlike some of his contemporaries.

For me this is the definitive "Old Time" version of the great May Irwin's early rag-time hit "The Bully", which dated to 1895.

Thanks for posting. I love string band music, and this group appears to be one of the original inventors. They are very good even by today's standards!
