This week's #banjototw over in instragram is 'Shaving a Dead Man,' whose original title is extremely racist.

Today I learned that people also call it "Protect the Innocent" (in reaction to objections over the original racist title) and I really can't parse that as anything but a great big dog whistle.

...like, at first blush it seems apologetic but the context here is "protect the innocent racists who just want to keep using their favorite racist song titles"

I'm going to call this tune 'Shaving a Dead Racist' from now on

The #banjototw over on instagram is "Gal with the Blue Dress On," which seems to be one of those names that is used for different tunes geographically, none of which sound all that similar to the song by that name in Briggs' Banjo instructor (1855) which I'm finally getting around to learning

Got a wild hair to do the #banjototw over on Instagram. I barely learned it and it's pretty slow, but it was a chill Friday night and I havn't recorded a clip in forever so here's "Betty Baker" with some parlor guitar for good measure.#fediversemusic #banjo #oldtime #music #guitar #fiddletune

Hmm, the #banjototw over on instagram is an 1868 one called “Pea Nut Girl”, I did an #acapellaapp video of it last fall but might have another go at it

I *finally* got around to using #acapellaapp to record a duet. It's not the most intuitive app, but it makes multitracking video clips super easy. I'm also arcanebanjo on there; HMU for a collaboration!

This is the #banjototw (banjo tune of the week,) 'Over the Waterfall':
