Great old song by Dan Emmett from Ohio. My ancestor surrendered at Appomattox. One day I hope to get up there and play my minstrel banjo on that same porch.
Hi William. Yeah, I had some ancestors from Alabama there too. Myself and others will be back there the last weekend in May of this year for a fun weekend of playing and socializing. Don't know where you live. I'm in Durham, NC. Here is a link about the event. minstrelbanjo.ning.com/events/joel-walker-sweeney-early-banjo-convergence-2015
Mark Weems My ancestors were in the 11th Alabama, from Perry County, AL.. Had five in the regiment. One died at Manassas, the other four all wounded, but G G grandfather fought until surrender at Appomattox. I live in North Mississippi now. SCV member for 23 years. Play minstrel banjo at Living History events.
Mark Weems Go to Minstrel Banjo web site; under members type: William Pat Arinder. There are some pictures there; of minstrel banjo and mountain banjo. I have built two mountain banjos, one fretted and one fretless.
Actually, the song is often mistakenly attributed to Daniel Decatur Emmett from Ohio. In reality, it was first performed by Bob Farrell and popularized by George Washington Dixon in the 1830s. The song was published sometime between 1829 and 1834, with claims of authorship by Farrell, Dixon, and George Nicholls.
