This was the first tune I learned to play on banjo. I have another version on my channel where I play the standard fretted banjo, check it out if you like this one. I'm playing a Gardner's Dulcimer's Minstrel Banjo.

According to Wikipedia,
""Cripple Creek" is an Appalachian-style old time tune and folk song, often played on the fiddle or banjo, listed as number 3434 in the Roud Folk Song Index.

The lyrics are probably no older than the year 1900, and the tune is of unknown origin. It has become a standard among bluegrass musicians and is often one of the first songs a banjo picker learns.[1]"
