A Really Nice Job on this!!!

[banjochris]

@TheHschwartz Thanks! Are you by any chance the same person who recorded "Johnson & Dixon" and others on the "Old Time Banjo Project" LP?

[TheHschwartz]

@banjochris

Yes, a gazillion years ago.

[banjochris]

@TheHschwartz Cool! I've always enjoyed that song and your version of it in particular.

[slimpickensrx]

is that from john burke's old-time fiddle tunes for banjo or did you learn that by ear? sounds great! you really play that at a fast pace

[banjochris]

No, learned it off the record of Hobart Smith -- I think I also saw John Cohen of the New Lost City Ramblers play it years ago.

@screamit1 "Pateroller" is a semi-literate spelling of "patroller". It refers the to the bounty hunters who would catch runaway slaves.

[PeluMaad]

@screamit1 ...a patroller....a runaway slave catcher
