This YouTube video offers a clawhammer banjo lesson for the tune "Coke Oven March" in the Spanish Fandango style. The instructor, Clifton Hicks, details the origins of the song, which he learned from a 1960s recording by Mike Seeger featuring Dock Boggs. Boggs himself acquired the tune from a music box purchased during his time working at an industrial iron smelting furnace. The description also includes numerous links for supporting the artist through platforms like Patreon, SubscribeStar, Bandcamp, and for purchasing merchandise, along with links to his music on Spotify and iTunes.
This YouTube video, titled 'Just Around the Bend: Mike Seeger's Last Documentary | Smithsonian Folkways Recordings,' focuses on a documentary about traditional banjo music.

It highlights the album's acknowledgement of 'real traditional banjo music' as opposed to commercial folk music and criticizes the label's efforts to downplay its existence. The description also includes various links related to banjo heritage, the artist's Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, and payment platforms.
