[@mwinterroth]

I love this. Im learning it overhand right now but this two finger style sounds much better honestly

[@banjojack]

Thanks!. Yeah, same here. I've played this overhand for a good long while, but when I changed to 2F, I liked it a lot better.

[@beckybetter]

This has always been a fave of mine!

Originally by The Carolina Chocolate Drops.

[@banjojack]

I first heard the Drops play this song, but in researching its history, I found out it was recorded by the Carolina Sunshine Trio around 1950, and maybe earlier by other artists. I don’t really know the origin of the song-perhaps just “traditional”?

[@chickenindoubleC]

Lovely video! This one is definitely going on my list!

[@banjojack]

Thank you, and have fun with it!

[@hillt0py0deler]

Nice video Jack! I heard this tune about a year ago for the first time - love it! Interested in learning some more 2-finger style on the banjo so maybe this'll be a good tune for me to work on. Thanks!

[@banjojack]

Thanks Darrin! Yeah, this should be a good tune to work on. There's more stuff in my "Two finger banjo with tabs" playlist. Have fun!

Great picking! Is this the same as big rock candy mountain?

[@banjojack]

Thanks! Big Rock Candy Mountain is a different tune. Here’s my version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6Wyi5SDrbVpq9k
