Camptown Shakers - "Aunt Phoebe's Sticking Plaster" Filmed On April 20, 2013
Here’s another video from the CW reenactment - “Aunt Phoebe’s Sticking Plaster”, set to the tune of “Pitch Burgundy Plaster” from Brigg’s tutor. I came upon the lyrics to this song a long time ago while we doing a black face show entitled “The Quack Doctor”. The song was used in the first act as part of the verbal jousting between the protagonist and the Quack Doctor. At the time I wasn’t real familiar with Briggs and hadn’t made the connection so I wasn’t sure what tune to play for it. The lyrics are of course, are over the top, and I posted them in a previous thread (http://minstrelbanjo.ning.com/forum/topics/aunt-jemima-s-plaster?commentId=2477478%3AComment%3A68159).

I was disappointed that the vocal wasn't louder but I am pleased at how loud my Bell banjo is on these videos from the CW event. We've only done this one a couple of times and i need to work on getting all of the words out, sometimes its a struggle, but that usually means I just need to slow it down a little more. (Dave) P.S. Did anybody ever call "band-aids" by the name of "sticking plasters". I think this song refers more to a poultice, a powerful strong one at that.

Those lyrics go perfectly with that tune. Tough tune sing to, or so it seems to me... I have a real hard time playing and singing at the same time.
