Clyde the limberjack, dancing to Do Mr. Boker Do, on banjo

This is Clyde the limberjack (also known as a jig doll), made of walnut wood in Virginia by the late Keith Young. Here I make him dance to an old minstrel song that I’m playing on my banjo, called Do Mr. Boker Do. I got the song directly from Phil Rice’s banjo tutor book of 1858, playing it here as an instrumental. There are few things in music more fun than a dancing limber jack!
