A song I wanted to learn after hearing Jim Reed's BHO video.

This is the first part of an African slave song notated when Sir Hans Sloane was in Jamaica in 1668. It's quite a lovely tune and I thought putting it to clawhammer banjo was fitting. Sloane also drew the earliest known pictures of the gourd banjo, seen in many written reference materials.

A 2004 recording I did because the tune was stuck in my head. I have uploaded it now, in 2012, as an example of my brushing and non-brushing in a tune. Played on my Ramsey Electric. aCGCD capoed to become aDADE.

From the Briggs' Banjo Instructor of 1855.
