This YouTube video is a clawhammer banjo lesson for the song "Raleigh and Spencer." The instructor, Clifton Hicks, shares his learned version of the tune, which he attributes to musicians from Watauga County, North Carolina, and a fiddle recording by Tommy Jarrell. He also provides historical context for the song's lyrics, debunking common Civil War associations. The video details the specific banjo used, an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb," and its tuning. Links for the instructor's online course, Patreon, Bandcamp, and other platforms are included.
