Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
Learned from a Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson recording, Same Old Man Living at the Mill is the old-time Tune of the Week for 3/1/19. Mary Z Cox recently recorded this with all of the lyrics for her new CD Carolina Banjo and says she learned it from the Dillards. What I like about the song, besides its mixolydian melody, is the fact that it has square dance calls in some of the lyrics. I only sing the ones with the dance calls.

I don't think I've ever heard you sing before. I'm sure you have. I am SOOOO impressed! Your voice suits that banjo really well.

Most excellent playing and singing Ms. Janet. I often (over)use the mixolydian mode on guitar. Just something about that flatted 7th!

Reminds me a little bit of Groundhog. Nicely played and sung Janet.
