Gentlemen: whenever you see a great big overgrown buck sitting at the mouth of some holler, or at the forks of some road, with a big slouch hat on, a blue celluloid collar, a celluloid, artificial red rose in his coat lapel, a banjo strung across his breast, and a-pickin' of Sourwood Mountain, fine that man, gentlemen, fine him! For if he hasn't already done something, he's a-going to - Josiah Combs, quoted in Old-Time Mountain Banjo
Yes, nice job, Slim. The over-bends sound great and I like the way you're bumping around the sixth string behind the concluding lick--very cool. All best, Johnm
Nice playing and singing! I just heard Bracey's recording of this song for the 1st time up on YouTube and was pretty floored by it. I immediately ordered Document's CD then searched for Bracy topics on weenie and ran across this. Just hazarding a guess - is it in standard tuning key of E?
