Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs

Scott Holmen on banjo and lead vocals, Eric Prust on fiddle and harmony vocals. FYI the banjo I am playing was made by Eric Prust... Recorded separately with a safe social distance of about 20 miles.

From the singing of Roscoe Holcomb, I admit having a hard time with his banjo 2-finger picking. Even his singing has a timing I can't get -- it's very irregular. But for the Tune of the Week I gave it a try and used his singing to arrange a clawhammer solo instead. Singing here is included, though it's not my fort? to sing solo, so be kind. The interesting thing about this song is that it's related to the familiar one via the lyrics and title, On Top of Old Smokey. There are many more lyrics.
