Oh Susanna

I was going to make this my first song on the banjo, but then I discovered Jim Pankey's lessons that start you off with Cripple Creek.

A nice thing about this song is (once again) that we know what it is supposed to sound like. The melody is familiar.

I have this on page 118 of my Neil Griffin book.

An alternative to this is "Clementine" (page 24 in Griffin).
