Banjo Heritage ? https://Patreon.com/CliftonHicks gCGCD relative (fB♭FB♭C actual). I learned "Last Gold Dollar" (Mole In the Ground) from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. Gibson learned it from Orgus "Grandpa" Hudson, a prolific banjo songster born in 1911. Hudson was known as Gran or Grandpa from a very early age, and it's unclear how he acquired the nickname. George once tried to mail a banjo to him via the local post office, but even they had no knowledge of an Orgus Hudson in the area--they only knew him as Gran Hudson. When George was just beginning to play music during the early 1950s, Hudson once scolded him for failing to sing the words to a banjo tune: "Son, if you can't sing it, don't pick it!" Because the banjo was invented to accompany song and dance, traditional banjoists nearly _always_ sing. This is why numerous open tunings are used in traditional banjo playing, and these tunings are typically lowered somewhat to match the banjoist's voice. Dock Boggs recorded an outstanding three-finger version in 1927 under the title "Sammie, Where Have You Been So Long" for Brunswick Records. This recording appears on The Harry Smith B-Sides compilation box set released by Dust-to-Digital in 2020. Gran Hudson's lyrics: My last gold dollar's gone (x2) My board bill's due my whiskey bill too And my last gold dollar's gone. She's a darling little girl I know (x2) She's coming down the stairs combing back her curly hair She's a darling little girl I know My darling when I had you I laced up the shoes you wear But now I'm bound in the walls of jail Your little feet must go bare She's dodging from the frost and snow (x2) Her little feet are bare 'cause she has no shoes to wear She's dodging from the frost and snow My darling six months ain't long (x2) Six months ain't long for me to be gone My darling six months ain't long I'm going to the West next fall (x2) I may do well and I may catch Hell But I'm going to the West next fall SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/cliftonhicks Bandcamp http://cliftonhicks.bandcamp.com T-shirts https://cliftonhicks.myteespring.co/ PayPal https://paypal.me/cliftonhicksbanjo Venmo https://venmo.com/cliftonhicksbanjo Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/7fQxc3ZY6LTVWkfxvsEPUV iTunes https://music.apple.com/us/artist/clifton-hicks/1437321931 Patreon https://patreon.com/CliftonHicks #banjo #folkmusic #history Clifton Hicks banjo heritage, outlaw old-time music, overhand, clawhammer banjo tablature, two finger tab, thumb lead, 2 finger tableture, frailing and stroke styles plus Appalachian mountain murder ballad hoedown and early minstrel show techniques.
