Sally in the garden - Clawhammer banjo tune

Sally in the garden! This is one of my favorite banjo tunes that I've learned. The melancholy mood of the song matches the mood I was in when I played it here; cold and wet and in desperate need of coffee. Fortunately it didn't take too many tries to get a decent recording, and we were in a warm car driving through for coffee in no time. Big thanks to Dad the camera operator, Mom the car driver, and Freddy, the intrepid umbrella manager. We filmed this at the very cool and somewhat spooky abandoned L A zoo in Griffith park, it was quite the adventure.
Banjo is in C tuning

    This, by far, is my favorite video of yours. I felt a longing, a moment...a long ago, and yet familiar memory...I relate to this very person in that moment that you are Phoebe. I know too how this feels.. many never will. I see a lot of very strange comments, and I'm sorry for that, but I understand you perfectly...Thank you...🙏⚘️💐✝️🇺🇸🌹

    This tune is traditional Appalachian music, with all the gothic. And grotesque features of a Flannery O’Connor short story. One verse is “sally in the garden, sally in the garden, siftin’ sand, siftin sand; sister’s upstairs with the hog-eyed man.” Phoebe’s playing captures the essence of mountain life in this one tune. She is a treasure.
