Is this tune better referred to as Buffalo Girls. Or maybe Hatchers Buffalo Gals since is a different tune than more popular version Buffalo Gals (won’t you come out tonight).
Reading some history of this tune: Buffalo refers to a black person ca: 1840, Gal is a loose professional woman who's "feet cover the sidewalk". Behind the burnt cork mask : early blackface minstrelsy and Antebellum American popular culture / William J. Mahar This was a standard song in the minstrel shows.
Loving Kellie’s smile!
I love this version and the nice groove.
With special accompaniment by a swarm of cicadas!
Beautiful 🇺🇸

Thanks, sounds like dark history!
i imagine thats where the concept of the all black buffalo soldier units came from as well.
Key of A. Is there a source? We are stuck playing that old song. Love this version.
I believe it's John Hatcher's Buffalo Gals
