My father was lovingly known as “Boatmin” or “OBM” (ol’ boatmin) as he was an old white bearded man living on a boat. I grew up on a sailboat until about 8 and moved back onto a boat with him sophomore year of highschool until my early 20s. As is life, my ol’ boatmin father passed away 2008 shortly after his 2 birds of sons left the nest. I immediately shared this song with an old friend who came up with the “OBM” term for my dad to much agreement. I really need to pick up a banjo again. I did it for a short-year long ago. Life had its Storm and I wonder where it is now. 🤔 Had my tuner n’ all. I wonder…

Cool tune, easy to learn. It's similar to cripple creek, and more fun to play.

I hadn't noticed that but you're right. It may be that "Cripple Creek" comes from "Boatman."

Yeah I think Boatman is better. Never really got into Cripple Creek, although it was the first tune I learned when I was 13 trying to play like Earl Scruggs.

@@CliftonHicksbanjo Same, it's one of those songs that everyone learns first and over plays, like Angeline the Baker, though Tommy Jarrell's, and Stringbean's versions are pretty damn good. Boatman is the superior melody for sure though.

Thank you always for your informative and fun videos. Where do you find the songs like this I only know your common jam session songs, cripple creek, Angeline the baker Etc. Etc. What are some of your favorites you have videos for that we should consider learning.

Great video. I wanted to tune my banjo down to match yours because it makes it easier to learn if i can do so both by eye and by ear simultaneously - matching my hands to yours while being in a different root makes it tougher. So, if anyone else feels that way, I'll save you some time and tell you Clifton is just about in Eb here (eb-Bb-Eb-G-Bb). It's not exactly there but that's the closest you can get without microtuning :) its probably just a handful of cents off.
