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. While the title and description are focused on music and banjo heritage, the context of the song's origin (a preacher's advice) and the historical elements are present.
