Well heck, I'm drinking some Glenlivet scotch as I listen right now! Probably shouldn't drink, play with a loaded 1860 colt and learn more about my granpapies banjo but if I lose a digit, well....
The Irish do to. That's why songs like paddy's lamentation exist. That song is about the civil war and Irish immigrants being forced into the army. Which admittedly wasn't that long ago, less than 200 years anyway.
I know this isn't the case, but I think this song is a great origin for old leather stocking. The ghost of an old Scottish soldier comes back from the dead to play and spread the stories of his descendants and those they learned the music from.
I would love to visit the Appalachians and stay with someone who lived there. From my memory, some of the most loving, saintly people live in the Appalachians.
I can barely play the opening part of feudin' banjos on my Deering Good Time, and haven't had one lesson yet, but clearly, I need another banjo with nylgut strings. Clifton has really imparted to me, and I know many others the appreciation for the banjo, it's history and sound. Thanks, Clifton!
Good job singing this song. Would you please do when yellow's on the broom? Thank you's so much for making all of your vids. I hope you will have an amazing day.
It's really hard NOT to sing these lyrics in a Scottish accent...😁 Never been to Scotland. Never lived around any native Scots. But for some reason when I drink heavy I start waxing real Scottish accent....like what's that about? 🤔😆 I guess, in the end, you can only run so far from your genes before they bring you back home. Tabs, please, Clifton! This song is amazing and your banjo rendition is absolute perfection! 👍
Really enjoyed that thanks, I repair banjos and guitars and stumbled on your channel, I heard your story about Holyhead, very funny, as the UK 🇬🇧 doesn't have an empire now a lot of people here just get drunk and kick the crap out of each other when given a chance, violence has been on the decline for a while thankfully, stay safe and take care, 👍
Cool Clifton I heard Frank Profitt of Reece North Carolina sing this song. Why have you never done a video about him before? He was a great player and banjo maker. I know a fellow who knew him back in the 1960s he told me the Bsnjo Frank made for him was a very fine piece of craftsmanship.
Sounding brilliant as always mate, great to hear you singing a wee Scots ballad!
Some say this ballad is about the battle of Glenlivet, Scotland 1594. Highlanders have long memories.
Me da said something similar to me haha

Man, I love hearing about the scottish folk songs and how it goes all the way to the us through the years.

Here's an article about the battle in which James Campbell was killed and which mentions this song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Glenlivet
Y’all know what the tuning is?
