The Carolina Chocolate Drops popularized this song in recent years, but it was first recorded around 1950. All great stuff.

Fun to come across a CZcams video for a song I'd never heard and then be able to play it proficiently 15 minutes later. Thanks a ton pardner!

[@banjojack]

Fantastic! Glad to pass it on.

[@mwinterroth]

I love this. Im learning it overhand right now but this two finger style sounds much better honestly

[@banjojack]

Thanks!. Yeah, same here. I've played this overhand for a good long while, but when I changed to 2F, I liked it a lot better.

Nice video Jack! I heard this tune about a year ago for the first time - love it! Interested in learning some more 2-finger style on the banjo so maybe this'll be a good tune for me to work on. Thanks!

[@banjojack]

Thanks Darrin! Yeah, this should be a good tune to work on. There's more stuff in my "Two finger banjo with tabs" playlist. Have fun!

Originally by The Carolina Chocolate Drops.

[@banjojack]

I first heard the Drops play this song, but in researching its history, I found out it was recorded by the Carolina Sunshine Trio around 1950, and maybe earlier by other artists. I don’t really know the origin of the song-perhaps just “traditional”?

[@stuartculshaw5342]

Your instrument looks like kendal mint cake. It's sweet and beautiful.

[@banjojack]

Thanks so much Stuart!

[@user-lt5sc5mf1q]

Great picking! Is this the same as big rock candy mountain?

[@banjojack]

Thanks! Big Rock Candy Mountain is a different tune. Here’s my version: czcams.com/video/AtOZaMxP6uw/video.html
