Over in the classic banjo group on Ning<\/a> I came across a couple recent versions (by Clarke Buehling on cello banjo<\/a> and by Tim Twiss on minstrel banjo<\/a>) of a catchy old number called “Too Utterly Too.” It looked fun to play so I learned the song on my 1916 Orpheum mandolin-banjo. <\/p>\n

Baur. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.classicbanjorm.com\/composers.htm\">Carl Anderton<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Baur was from New York, soldiered in the Civil War, was badly wounded in Georgia during Sherman&#8217;s &#8220;March to the Sea,&#8221; and spent the next 9 years recovering his health. He practiced banjo constantly during his convalescance and became one of America&#8217;s leading players. His &#8220;Reminiscences of a Banjo Player&#8221; published in S.S. Stewart&#8217;s Banjo and Guitar Journal are quite insightful.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t find the date of this book, but I did find a stray comment on the internets claiming it&#8217;s from 1880, which sounds just right. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the sheet music for them that can read it:<\/p>\n<p ><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 700px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/download\/tooUtterlyTooClogDance\/sheet-music-for-Too-Utterly-Too.png\" alt=\"Sheet music for 'Too Utterly Too Clog Dance'\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My recordings here are all hereby dedicated to the public domain per <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/\">CC0 1.0 Universal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All the relevant files are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/tooUtterlyTooClogDance\">on Archive.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over in the classic banjo group on Ning I came across a couple recent versions (by Clarke Buehling on cello banjo and by Tim Twiss on minstrel banjo) of a catchy old number called &#8220;Too Utterly Too.&#8221; It looked fun to play so I learned the song on my 1916 Orpheum mandolin-banjo.
