A couple of weeks ago, my uncle requested this song. So being the logical person I am, I grabbed my homemade banjo and some hiking stuff, picked up a friend, drove to the Smokies, hiked up to Rocky Top, and then recorded this song. Well, that is not exactly what happened, but it sounds cooler this way (real trip report coming soon). I don't need to write much because this song is widely known, but I will say that the banjo withstood the cruelty of the trail very well, and I would recommend one as a hiking banjo with only small changes (check back later for more on that). Now that I have actually been to Rocky Top, I keep wondering why anybody would try to grow corn up there. Of course it won't grow! More songs and trail reports to come as soon as I get video and pictures from Jonathan.
Well done
