Evie Ladin: Forky Deer/Forked Deer
Peghead Nation’s Clawhammer Banjo instructor plays a mashup of two versions of a great old-time tune.
While Peghead Nation’s Clawhammer Banjo instructor Evie Ladin was in the studio recording a Will Seeders Dobson Special banjo demo, she took a moment to play a few tunes on that instrument. In this video, she plays Forky Deer/Forked Deer, a mashup of a version that Sidna Myers recorded as “Forky Deer” and the more common version of “Forked Deer” as played at old-time gatherings the world over.
