TOTW Late Feb "Johnny Boker'

[Tim Twiss]

Plenty of references to go by. There is the Levy Sheet music collection, the Ethiopian Glee Book, Briggs, Rice, and Buckley 1860 ( Joe Sweeney Jig ) as well as Weidlich and Fleshers tab.

Play and discuss at will.

[Tim Twiss]

Al..let's play Jonny Boker tomorrow.

btw...HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[Al Smitley]

Thanks Tim and Strum.  How 'bout a minstrel version of "When I'm 64"?

Wow, I was a teenager when that was recorded.  Sixty-four seemed like another world!  My dad (now 98) was only 51!

[Tim Twiss]

Hey, 64 is the new ....60. ha ha

[James Pentecost]

Happy Birthday, Al!

[Al Smitley]

Thank you but, geez, it's not like I just hit 100. 

I got more birthday wishes on this site then from my own family!!  ;)

[Tim Twiss]

64.......that s pretty close to 100

[Strumelia]

O man, that's cold!....     =8-*

[Tim Twiss]

Ha ha...it's warm here in the 50's

[Al Smitley]

Yes, Dan'l, I'd better get busy on that will of mine!

[Leonidas (Lee) Jones]

Tims, the Rice pull-offs rock on the Briggs arrangment of JOhnny Boker, many, many thanks!

[Tim Twiss]

Oh man, I'm glad. You will use this over and over....and over.

[Tim Twiss]

This is really one of the most versatile songs. Fast.....slow......vocal...instrumental.   It just holds up. So very simple in it;s construction.
