Banjo Heritage 👉 / cliftonhicks
I learned "Southern Texas" (Texas Rangers) from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. My instrument is a c. 1910 Weymann five-string banjo tuned f# DGAD.
Way down in southern Texas
Where I rejoined to stay,
I left my kind old parents
When their hair was turning gray
I joined them dying cowboys
I knew I had to ride,
I climbed up in the saddle
And bid this world goodbye
I saw them Indians coming
I heard them give their yell,
My feelings at that moment
No human's tongue can tell
My horse she got excited
She could not stand still,
The firelight from our pistols
Like sunshine on the hill
My friends shot down beside me
Tears falling from my face,
O how I love you brother
But I can't take your place
And then I thought of mother
Who said in tears to me,
To you they are all strangers
At home you'd better be.

Hello Clifton from a carpenter in the south of Australia I listened to you talk on eyes left and it was one very emotional listen. I then got to listen to you play just now and that was absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to show my dad who loves the guitar and has a very special talent much like yourself. I also can’t wait to show my brother in law. He started making guitars 3 years ago and he recently truly had the most beautiful looking acoustic guitars at the recent Melbourne guitar festival.He to plays beautiful. I really wish I could have shown my grandfather,although he never played an instrument as far as I know he fought in Germany with the British in WW2. My younger sister is blind and I must say I cannot wait to let her hear you play and sing as she once did often but not so much lately. Anyway I’m on my lunch break and I must get back to work. Thankyou so much. Wishing you and your friends, your loved ones and those close to you health happiness and a wonderful life. Kind Regards Clifton, Chris👍

@CliftonHicksbanjo 7 лет назад
That is a Weymann banjo made in Philadelphia about 1890-1900. Weymann was mostly known for their specialty banjos (e.g. banjo uke, guitar banjo, plectrums etc.) and my understanding is that their standard 5-string banjos are relatively rare. This one does play very nicely and sounds great.

@@CliftonHicksbanjo Thanks for this. I’ve come across Weymann banjo-ukes but not a 5 string. I just assumed that their 5 strings must be presentation models, and so not that many were made back in the day. I had not considered that they had specialized in the hybrid instruments.

@CliftonHicksbanjo
@CliftonHicksbanjo 2 года назад
Tex Ritter did not compose "Texas Rangers." The ballad describes violence which occurred in Texas during the early 1800s, and I think the earliest recordings of it probably appeared in the late 1920s/early 1930s.

@CliftonHicksbanjo
@CliftonHicksbanjo 7 лет назад
www.banjohistory.com/recording will take you to two good albums by George Gibson, one of "the masters" I happened to learn from. If you are looking for an instruction manual I would recommend either of the books published by Art Rosenbaum: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LadR3ifjXUM.html I would say that I learned half of these songs from old field recordings (Library of Congress, Folkways Records and so forth) and half in-person from other (usually much older) musicians. I've been memorizing and regurgitating archaic banjo music since I was at least fourteen, so I've been at it almost twenty years. Take your time.

Bryan: It's actually all original except for the tuners and a few tension hooks! Even the fingerboard, which is soft "coffee" or "pear" wood (faux ebony) and has cracked and flaked all over is original. These Weymanns are AWESOME but they made relatively few five-string banjos. I'd love to have my music used in a big TV $how... and I have read the book The Alienist twice when I was a kid. The book is amazing.

What's the "432 Hz"?
@Melo7849
@Melo7849 3 года назад
432hz ??? Don’t give away the secrets dude. If everybody tuned to 432hz... I guess we’d all be in harmony. It’s a rabbit hole that’s worth going down for any musician. It deals with the frequency’s and the effect on the human body. At this point, we should also talk about the 1. Another music secret. Empathizing the 1.
@Tasmanaut
@Tasmanaut 2 года назад
it is a rabbit hole. It's all very interesting, i've been there myself, but let me burst your bubble. Hz measures vibrations a second. A second is an measurement of time based on the earths rotation around its axis and orbit of the sun. It all seems self consistent, but on a universal level, seconds are an ARBITRARY measurement based only on earth's movement. There is no universal unit of time that a second represents. so a Hz is not related to an ultimate universal truth. Yes I'm aware of the geometry and maths that make the whole thing seem like a universal secret. It's sadly wishful thinking and a dead end. 432hz tuning does sound cool, however, but so does any arbitrary unorthodox amount of down tuning. You can try this for yourself and see. Anyway, I hope that is helpful and might help you not to waste time perusing the 432hz tuning/sacred geometry thing.
@Melo7849
@Melo7849 2 года назад
@@Tasmanaut Wow!! You are a rare bird. You seem to understand resonance and it’s powerful effects. I have a kindergarten understanding of this topic. I do understand that frequency can be a deep rabbit hole. Breaking glass?? Crumbing a building?? Cuban embassy attack on US delegates?? Resonance is a huge topic that one would need to study years to truly comprehend. ….frequency is only one part of music. Timing is also another deep rabbit hole. James Brown emphasized the 1. Pay attention to a JB tune and you’ll notice it to. Emphasize the one is pure magic.
@Tasmanaut
@Tasmanaut 2 года назад
@@Melo7849 I think i'm detecting sarcasm. I'm not disagreeing that extremely interesting things can be done with resonance, only that hz is an arbitrary measurement because it involves seconds, and seconds are an arbitrary division of time based on the earths rotation and orbit that isn't a magical universal constant measure of time, thereby dispelling the idea that musical tunings can be linked to some sort of sacred geometry. The mathematics involved when using A =432hz are beautiful and it was extremely compelling for me until I had this debate with someone that made me realise a second is not a universal constant. There are many interesting areas of this sort of stuff, i'm only suggesting a=432 being a bit of a dead end. Pythagorean temperament is a pretty interesting topic as well. I'm no expert, I just thought I had discovered the holy grail one day with this stuff until I realised I hadn't
