This is so great! We sang songs like this in grade school music time! Every week some of the oldest songs from the country and the sea, this amazing woman Mrs.Wallace, would spend every morning teaching music at the middle school in town, fifth n sixth grade then spend afternoons with her trusty autoharp going around to all the little tiny k-4’s in the countryside and so forth teaching a little bit of notation reading in her own way, but mostly the old songs of our heritage, Micmac, French, Appalachian, sea chantries, and songs that went down in history. She didn’t change many of the lyrics either, though I knew more things to do with a drunken sailor than she played from listening to all the old men who would get together to play on the Common, the big Central Park in town, and so forth. Then on Saturday nights Stringbean and Grandpa Jones were like heroes! Singing the songs we knew and playing so well. Thank you for this, I hope these tracks or at least these songs make it forward to a new generation.Mrs. Wallace would have really loved you for it.

I learned it like this: Ole' Dan Tucker was a fine old man, washed his face in frying pan. Combed his hair with a wagon wheel, died of a toothache in his heel. Get out the way for Old Dan Tucker, he's to late to get his supper. Supper's done and dishes washed, nothing left but a piece of squash. Old Dan Tucker went to town, riding a mule and leading a hound. The hound barked and the mule jumped, through Old Dan right over a stump.

If I remember right, they served quite good barbecue, and they served beer on tap. Anyhoo, Grandpa Jones applies his great talent on this classic folk song.

Was at the Front Porch Restaurant (Now out of business) in Yellville AR on a Sunday Morning and to my now Ex-wife and I's surprise Grandpa Jones and his I assume was his wife walked in the door. There were not very many people there and they went relatively unnoticed, I recognized him, but did not want to bother them. He seemed cranky and maybe not feeling well, but that was also a trademark of his being cranky off stage. This was around 1993 or 1994 and of course he passed in '98. He lived his later life just a little further down the road from Yellville AR there at Mountain View, Arkansas. He was a heck of a performer not just his banjo playing gusto but his whole persona on stage.
