For the old-time Tune of the Week, 11/26/16, this old minstrel tune comes from Thomas F. Briggs' Banjo Instructor of 1855. I'm playing on a Gold Tone cello banjo in order to play in the key of G, but tuned down a fifth to put it in the key of D.

For the last two years I have worked at really starting to learn the

tune mostly from the recording from Don's house.
