This is American roots music at its best. Great vocal from Abigail.

I absolutely cannot love this enough. I don't even know how many times I've watched this great performance. I love Abigail!!!! Thanks for sharing this with us.

I found this song after so long, my dad had it on an mp3 player and i would listen to all his songs for hours in those days before i even knew about school. (sorry if this makes anyone feel old but this is one of the first recorded pieces of music i can remember hearing)

@banjovenus sounds like g minor in this particular bit judging by the sound and the capoe as it is. dock boggs and the other great clawhammer pickers used this tuning to sing the blues

Tenors are 4 string and you can see the 5th tuner sticking out the side of the neck. I think this one is an OME. Her resonators are OMEs. She is great and could make a broom sing.
