Hey, uh, [Abm] how long you been playing the banjo?
All your life, huh?
Yeah, probably [E] since I was about [Dm] 14.
Do you know when the banjo was [N] introduced?
When it was invented?
It is the only, I believe the [Abm] only American [N] instrument, isn't it?
Yeah, of the five-string banjo.
Yeah.
[E] I don't know, I think it's about the 1820s, but I know [N] that Joe Walker Sweeney was the first one to put [Ab] a thumbstring peg up here.
What's that for?
To get an [A] extra note with you?
Hey, why don't you demonstrate the old-fashioned style of banjo playing back when they didn't have fingers.
I believe they [Bm] called it [E] rapping, didn't they?
Yeah, that's the way I started out.
[A] Knock us off, then.
All [N] right.
Hey, you know, speaking of the banjo, it's figured very, very strongly in bluegrass music.
I tell you, I think when that started, you could just about put a date on that.
I think it's about 1946 or 47.
[A] And it's when a boy from North [F] Carolina by the name of Earl Scruggs [N] came down right here on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and joined [Ab] Bill Monroe and his bluegrass [E] boys.
And I think that's when it [G] exploded.
Well, Bill Monroe [B] has been a regular member of the Grand Ole Opry, [Ab] which is on Saturday night here in this building, for 30 years [A] this year, I hear.
What do you say, let's kind of do a tribute [E] to Bill [G] Monroe.
Let's do some bluegrass.
OK.
[Dm] All right.
Kick it off, Norman.
[A]
Good morning, good morning, child.
[D] Do you need another meal, Skinner?
Out on your [A] new mud line.
Oh, I [E] can't yodel.
And we'll get [A] Johnny Hartford, too. Yeah.
Oh, [D] I don't know how.
And that's [A] what's coming next.
Oh,
[E]
[A] hey.
[D] Way down in Columbus, Georgia.
[A]
Oh, to be [D] back in Tennessee.
Way down in Columbus.
Stop.
[A]
Turn your [D] back on me.
[G]
Go and leave me if [D] you wish to.
[G] Never let me [D] cross your mind.
In your heart.
You love another.
[A] Leave me little darling.
I [D] don't love.
[A] Leave me little darling.
[D] I don't.

[A] I don't want [D] to let me.
[G] It was all a moonlight [D] night.
The stars were shining [G] bright.
And I wondered from on [D] high.
I said, [A] you know, I [D] love Kentucky. [G] Keep on.
[D] Shine on.
[A] I don't want to [D] let me.
[G] Saturday evening, [Dm] about sundown.
High [A] on the hill and above the town.
Accordion played the fiddle on a half [E] wood ring.
