    Polly Perkins of Pemberton Green.



    This 1864 comic tune by Harry Clifton was performed and published by Buckley's Serenaders. It's perfect for the James Hartel Ashborn repro 'cause the Buckleys used Ashborns, too. Played in the "guitar style" of George Swayne Buckley.



    This tune, credited to Frank B. Converse, is found in the 1858 Phil. Rice Correct Method for the Banjo. Converse would have been about 18 at the time. He was just getting started on what would be a long and successful career in the banjo business. Played in the "banjo style," of course.

            Much appreciated...I'm trying to learn new period songs to hum or sing while doing chores.

              Ahhh the good sound of the banjo. Reminds me of the grand times we've had sitting around the fire. Can't wait to hear some tunes at Boonesfield next month!

                Between the banjo, fiddle, and bones period music is always amazing to listen too. It seems to transport you back in time. I love the music, thanks for the post!

                  I just close my eyes and I'm transported back.

                  Thanks so much for sharing and posting! I too love any and all period music. I think it's a real draw on all of us and gives us all a much richer connection to the time.
