“The Glendy Burk”

Composed by Stephen Foster around 1851, played on my Jeff Menzies fretless. I first heard this in 1963, when I was still in Elementary School. Thanks to Dan Gellert for his setting and inspiration.
Tuning is dGDF#A

That is a beautiful banjo, and what a lilting and jovial tune. I’ll have to try to learn that one.
