Since I’ve started to learn to play my oil can banjo, I’ve been immersing myself in old time American folk music. Shady Grove is another old tune that has been recorded a squillion times and that has about as many verses. I’ve known this song for many years as sung by Doc Watson. Here he is with David Holt on banjo.
Here’s Dan Levenson on banjo
Here is David Beede playing Shady Grove on a cigar box banjo

Shady Grove. Great. The little cigar box banjo sounds sweet.
I’ve been practicing the can a lot…..not confident enough to put anything up on youtube for a while, but one of these days….
That song has got legs.
Slightly off topic, but I was thrilled to discover an accordion society exists in my town. You should be here!
