Blacksburg

Sugar Baby (old-time three-finger picking demonstration)
Someone asked for some tips on playing this, so I made a short video to demonstrate. I got it from Dock Boggs and although I aim to have it sound close to his, I didn't try to replicate it exactly. I play it through a few times slowly and then up to speed. Banjo's tuned gdgcd. There's a link to a rough tab of it here (scroll down, under the 'Sugar Baby' video there): hunterrobertson.com Keep an eye peeled for a recording of this with fiddler Casey Joe Abair on our new album coming end July ...

Dock Boggs-Calvary
Here in this song simply entitled "Calvary", Dock Boggs presents a sermon in song. This tells of the blessed Savior's love for sinful mankind. I have never heard it put more plain and simple nor more eloquent.
