Banjo Pickin' Girl - The Augusta Bluegrass Women

[@sandylaird8029]

Superb. this small combo is fantastic. Their picking is out of this world. Go girls go. Thank you lots.

[@sandylaird8029]

A great Scottish welcome girls. Your playing is great. I love to play along with my jaws harp. I was a drummer with the John McClaren, Scottish dance band, but old man time has caught up with me, so at ninety I play my jaws harp.I thoroughly enjoy playing to your fabulous quick tempo music. It makes me feel young again. THANK YOU FOR THE PLEASURE

[@jweaver9242]

Pure pleasure to hear those ladies play and sing!

[@peterpane1773]

[@TwoCatsUp]

What a pick-me-up! This is some rip-roarin', dig-down-deep serious music, love it! And soooo great to see Laurie Lewis!

[@woodswalker88]

[@adelarsen9776]

When is it and tell me more

[@jimharris8597]

That just made my day....! But, let me say Kathy Kallick has one of the most amazing singling voices (except maybe Vince Gill) I have ever heard. I just keep playing this over and over as I can't hear it often enough.

[@iragitlin7549]

IMHO, she's one of the great underrated singers in bluegrass--and a hoss on rhythm guitar!

[@N_Garamond]

She has a gorgeous voice. You can tell from just a few phrases of song.

[@davidgreve1081]

I see this girl and her band playing this song every so often, and when I do, I have to hear it from start to finish!! What a great song. And Wow what talent in her entire band! All women. All Very Talented in how they Sing and Play!!

[@banjerstring1304]

Wow, does the enthusiasm ever quit, Murphy? Hope Not...you're my favorite banjo pickin girl!!

[@Dobroz99]

[@chicaahno41]

Absolutely amazing. I love bluegrass!

[@allanstark4219]

Such high quality talent. It's clear that they''re doing what they love, and I bet that carries over to their audiences, like it does to me.

A while back I found The Coon Creek Girls, 1940's, when I did some digging for a Blog post on "Industry Assembled" musical acts, and this is a number they did. They were among others such as The Pussycat Dolls and Agua Bella, from Peru. The group was put together by musical promoter John Lair for a stage and radio show, Renfro Valley Barn Dance, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The name was invented by him, there is no actual Coon Creek, and although the two Ledford sisters were originally from Kentucky, the two other members were from Indiana and Ohio. This is not intended as criticism in any way, as they did very well and even went on to play the White House for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England. I like the independent-minded lyrics of the song as well. Banjo Picking Girl Coon Creek Girls 1944 [Banjo intro] 1. I'm goin' around the world, baby mine I'm goin' around the world, baby mine I'm goin' around this world, I be a banjer-pickin' girl I'm goin' around this world, baby mine 2. I'm goin' Tennessee, baby mine I'm goin' Tennessee, baby mine I'm goin' Tennessee, don't you try followin' me I'm goin' Tennessee, baby mine [Banjo solo] 3. I'm goin' to Arkansas, baby mine I'm goin' to Arkansas, baby mine I'm goin' to Arkansas, you take care of Ma and Pa I'm goin' to Arkansas, baby mine 4. I'm goin' Chattanooga, baby mine I'm goin' Chattanooga, baby mine I'm goin' Chattanooga, and from there on to Cuba I'm goin' Chattanooga, baby mine [Banjo solo] 5. I'm goin' North C'lina, baby mine I'm goin' North C'lina, baby mine I'm goin' North C'lina, and from there on to China I'm goin' North C'lina, baby mine 6. I'm goin' 'cross the ocean, baby mine I'm goin' 'cross the ocean, baby mine I'm goin' 'cross the ocean, if I don't change my notion I'm goin' 'cross the ocean, baby mine [Banjo solo] 7. Oh, if you ain't got no money, baby mine An you ain't got no money, baby mine An you ain't got no money, get yourself 'nother honey I'm goin' around this world, baby mine 8. Oh, I'm goin' around this world, baby mine I'm goin' around this world, baby mine I'm goin' around this world, I be a banjer-pickin' girl I'm goin' around this world, baby mine [Banjo solo, end]
