For enthusiasts of early banjo

The Pea-Patch Jig

Okay, here is a funky one from Buckley 1860. My wife is tapping along with something or other. We had to stop midway for station identification.

They give me the energy to decypher the oddest of banjo tunes, and the strength to execute them on my ol' cremona. So the next time you need a little pick-me-up, remember Duchess Sweet Peas...

Great playing! "Funky one" is right!

....do you think it has ANY relation to this other version?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RbWEdsV6Es8

I made corn bread last year using Martha White brand flour, as highly recommended on oldtime radio, and further pushed at me by some oldtime musician friends. It wasn't very good. Too white, too finely ground. Not funky enough!
