Cold Icy Mountain | Performance (overhand)
Added 2018-11-29 13:13:17 +0000 UTCBanjo down-tuned from standard G tuning to: eBEGsharpB
Here's "Cold Icy Mountain" played overhand (clawhammer, frailing, down-picking) style loosely similar to the George Gibson's usual approach to this piece.
I'm going across that cold icy mountain (x2)
That'll be my home that'l be my home (x2)
Stop and feed my baby candy (x2)
For I never expect to see it anymore
Stop and tell my mamma howdy (x2)
For I never expect to see her anymore
All's I drink are the tears I shed (x2)
For I never expect to see you anymore
All's I eat are green willow shoots (2x)*
And I never expect to see you anymore
I'm going across that cold icy mountain (x2)
That'll be my home that'll be my home (x2)
* The term "green willow shoots" apparently refers to the young cattail plant (Typha domingensis) whose roots, shoots and green (premature) flowers are edible. These have traditionally been used as a survival food by cultures around the globe.

Look out for close-up and lesson/discussion on this.
