"Hard Luck Blues" (Brother Jim Got Shot) Performance
🕑 Added 2023-08-18 13:00:02 +0000 UTCI learned "Hard Luck Blues" from a 1920s recording of Dock Boggs. Later in life, Boggs recorded the song a second time during the 1960s under the title "Brother Jim Got Shot." I am certain that he's using gut strings in the original recording.
My instrument is an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned eAEG♯B (relative gCGBD), with Aquila "New Nylgut" strings and a traditional two-leg maple bridge by Joel Hooks.

Very good! I just became a Patron! I'm a life long drummer who started learning Banjo about a year ago. I'm just outside Windsor Canada, do you have many fans up here? Cheers brother!
