Clifton Hicks - Sammie, Where Have You Been So Long (Dock Boggs)
Banjo Heritage 👉 https://Patreon.com/CliftonHicks
I learned "Sammie, Where Have you Been So Long" from the 1927 recording of Dock Boggs on Brunswick Records # 131. A newly remastered recording of this appears on The Harry Smith B-Sides compilation released by Dust-to-Digital in 2020.
Halfway through the original recording (which is an alternate version of Last Gold Dollar/Mole In the Ground) Boggs transitions from a heavy, juke joint style accompaniment to his more characteristically intricate three-finger picking. The first verses concerning Sammie and his twenty-dollar bill are either by Dock himself or the record producers; additional verses heard in this video are from George Gibson, Orgus "Gran" Hudson, or Clifton Hicks.
My instrument is an 1888 Luscomb banjo by Thompson & Odell of Boston, tuned in the neighborhood of fB♭FB♭C (what George Gibson calls "Hook and Line" tuning).
