Booth Shot Lincoln - Clawhammer Banjo

Such a cheerful tune with such a sad name.. On April 14th 1865 John Wilkes Booth assassinated president Abraham Lincoln in Ford's Theatre, Washington D.C. Lincoln ranks among the greatest of presidents for restoring the union and abolishing slavery across the US.

Do you have a link to this tab? I'm playing a different version as well ;) yours sounds much better!

who made this banjo ?

[@JelSnel]

Ewout Nijsse did, he lives in Vlissingen, the Netherlands

Very nice, but a much different tune than the one I know by that name.

[@JelSnel]

Thanks! Really? I don't know any other than this one. Can you send a video?

But then Booth was upset when he got to Heaven because he didn’t see Abe Lincoln there and thought he’d failed 😂
