Banjo Heritage ? https://patreon.com/CliftonHicks I learned this song from Watauga County, North Carolina banjo player, Josh Hayes, who can expertly perform any song Frank Proffitt recorded. Hayes actually lived on Beaver Dam Road when I learned this piece from him. My version is closer to Hayes' than to Proffitt's: "Beaver Dam Road" by Frank Proffitt I've worked like a dog and what have I got? No corn in the crib, no beans in the pot, Hard times on Beaver Dam Road Hard times, poor boy! I didn't have me no hog to kill So I set up little copper still... Along come a man in a Chevroiet car, Looking for the fellow with the old fruit jar... He said, "O son you're in for it now, If you ever get out it'll cost you a cow..." He clapped me in irons and he led me to the car, I bid farewell to the old fruit jar... He took me to Boone and they put me in the jail, I had no friends to go my bail... I told that judge that my corn wouldn't hoe, He gave me ninety days on the Beaver Dam Road... My wife sent a letter said she's faring mighty good, Got a man hoeing taters and hauling wood... It's a low down man in a Chevrolet car, Picking on the fellow with the old fruit jar... Friends I'm telling you wherever you are, Don't carry your liquor in the old fruit jar... Frank Noah Proffitt (1913–1965) was an Appalachian banjoist and key figure in the 1960s folk music revival. Born at Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee, he was raised in Watauga County, North Carolina where he worked a farm with his wife and 6 children. He was known for his skills as a carpenter and luthier; Proffitt's handmade banjos and dulcimers are still sought after by musicians and antique collectors. Beavers used to infest every creek from the Mississippi River to the Chesapeake Bay. Early white settlers named many communities "Beaver Dam," and this name was also given to the creeks and (later on) the roads leading to these communities.
