Clifton Hicks - Cackling Hen
Banjo Heritage 👉 https://Patreon.com/CliftonHicks
I learned this tune from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. When George was learning to play banjo in early 1950s, one old timer told him, "There's more music in the first string than in any other string on the banjo." That's certainly true of this archaic version of "Cackling Hen" and many other early dance pieces (i.e. hoedowns, breakdowns) like it.
My instrument is an 1888 Luscomb banjo made in Boston. I'm using a two-legged, solid maple bridge that I carved myself, Aquila nylgut strings and a medium goat skin head.
