Played on a short scale a tenor to 5 string conversion. 10" pot with original skin head

Upload for the Old Time TOTW for December 4, 2020. The tune is generally called Too Young to Marry, but the fiddler I learned it from called it Buffalo Nickel.

Pretty bad playing, but this is a sound sample of the Songbird banjo built for my friend Kent.

Tune - Waiting for the Boatsman - Melvin Wine

Hymn - Waiting the Boatman - Virgil O. Stamps - Theme suggested while waiting at ferry on Tennessee River, midnite, July 3, 1917, near Section, Alabama.

The tune was a TOTW in 2015 and was described quite well.

Played on new 11" myrtlewood and walnut open back 5 string in double D tuning.

The date hasn't rung any bells yet, but the minor key sure gives it a rather melancholy feel. I listened to some vintage Piney Creek Weasels to arrange this one and used a rare Am tuning rare -- aEACE.
