Kitchen Girl - Clawhammer Banjo

KITCHEN GIRL. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. A Mixolydian ('A' part) & A Minor or Dorian ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Collected in 1966 from influential Glen Lyn, Virginia, fiddler Henry Reed [1] [2] by fiddler and folklorist Alan Jabbour, who popularized the melody along with the Hollow Rock String Band (through their 1967 recording). Reed's tune has become so wide-spread it is sometimes played in Europe as a representative American old-time tune. Fiddler Bill Hicks points out that "kitchen girl" was often a term used for a female slave who worked in the kitchen. Kitchen dances were a fixture of rural American life and may have been the inspiration for the title.

In the video I am playing a 1924 Gibson Tb 4 (Kraske rim) with a David Stacey neck conversion.
