This video features Clifton Hicks performing the song "Hold Fast to the Right" (also known as "Mother's Advice"), learned from a 1960s recording by Dock Boggs. Boggs himself learned it from a Methodist preacher around 1930. Hicks plays an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned to eBEG♯B at 432 Hz. The description also promotes various platforms for banjo education, music, and merchandise, including Patreon, Banjo Heritage, Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube memberships.
