Hobart Smith's Pateroller - Fretless Clawhammer Banjo

This great old tune was recorded by Hobart Smith in 1956. He played it on a banjo he borrowed from a relative which had had the frets removed. It's the only tune I know of that he recorded on a fretless banjo, not including the 4-string reconstruction - it lacked a thumb string - he played on Lomax's project with Ed Young, the Georgia Sea Islanders and others. Here, I'm playing it on my trusty bakelite Harmony. Tuned to sawmill, gDGCD, though a whole tone or so down. Somewhere on my channel here I've got another version recorded with Casey Joe Abair on fiddle. Old-Timey Music for Body & Soul - http://www.hunterrobertson.com
