Jambalaya (banjo)

Hank Williams had a hit with this in 1952. Woody Guthrie said, “if you know two chords, you can play all the good songs and if you know 3 chords you can play the fancy ones too.” This is a “good” one—-just two chords and a melody that lilts and drives, cajun style. First half is in the lower octave, second half goes up the neck.
