"And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land." - Isaiah 32
I learned "Big Eyed Rabbit" from a recording of Fred Cockerham and Tommy Jarrell. Played on fretless mountain banjo, handmade by Clifton Hicks ~ fCFAC La Bella No. 17 nylon strings. AKA Rock in a Weary Land, Pig in a Pen, etc.

We need a version of "the big rock candy mountains"
100%
love the way you can see the strings vibrate!
A beautiful interment comes alive in your gifted hands
Your shutter speed on Your camera was just right to get the wave in the strings that was so cool also liked the sound of that mountain Banjo
He’s the man ,boy !
We are all rockin’ in a weary land.
Classical music indeed! Kind Thanks Clifton! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Could not be better! OMG!! 🙉✨
You've convinced me to keep working on my two-finger picking.
Can't count how many times I've come back to listen to this. This is an amazing rendition of this song. Thank you for sharing it with us!
This banjo is inviting or comforting!
Not sure how to say it!
After I was admiring it, I read the that you made it!
Awesome!
Color of strings strung above the color of wood!
Seems less intimidating!
This has been one of my favorite oldtime tunes for a long time Tommy and Fred would be proud that you did this tune justice
thanks for keep old time music alive.
God bless you Clifton, greetings from Estonia!
Love the sound of that banjo!
I need a banjo just like that. Awesome!
intonation perfection!
this is such a good song
Had to go back and re-listen to your 'Jubilee' recording after hearing that common line...Glad I did.
Gotta love those migrating verses!
Sounds excellent.
That's simply bad-ass.
Great!!!!
Excellent
Cool!!!!
Beautiful! Where can I find this Banjo?
Sounds good
Yeehaw cowboy!
I like everything about your picking, but the 2 finger picking is my favorite.
You know so many tunes! And how to play them right, Im envious.
Whered you get that mountain banjo? You build it?
Yes, I make and sell these.
Good lord, son! 😁
"...sounds good!"
Is that one of your banjos? Sounds great either way. :)
It is--and the sixth one I made.
gotta love how it sounds like your hitting muted stone instruments when you pluck your lower strings
Ain't nothin "muted" on that lute, son.
@@CliftonHicksbanjo never seen a reply, never meant a muted but bit more more of a acoustic.
😎
Very nice. Is that 2 finger style?
Yessir, some call it thumb lead/finger lead. Best descriptor is just "two finger."
Which lyrics to this song are older? Big Eyed Rabbit or Pig in a Pen?
I don't think anybody knows.
UK tour???
Mart C maybe we should set up a petition to get get Clifton and Sarah Nichols both over here. So so good!
I passed through Britain more than ten years ago while in the service. I did not carry my banjo with me and only got to see London, Holyhead and Dublin. I'd love to come back and do it right some day.
Clifton: Do you have any recommendations for someone to build a "MountainBanjo" ? Thanks.
Get the foxfire 3 book, that will have everything you need to know to build a mountain banjo
What is the tuning for this song? Thanks!
I think standard G.
Thanks!
