Bo Wilkey | "Big Bee Suck the Pumpkin Stem" (traditional 3-finger)
Added 2019-06-24 12:12:13 +0000 UTCI thought I'd share this recent video I took of three-finger picker Bo Wilkey from Athens, GA.
Wilkey learned this piece from a record of Peggy and Mike Seeger. The Seegers learned it from a rare 1944 field recording of Georgia fiddler Jack Mizell: https://www.loc.gov/item/afc9999005.22642
"Big bee suck the pumpkin stem
Little bee makes the honey,
Black man hoed the cotton field
White man took the money."
