okay this is not going to be like our
normal videos here this is going to be
our first-ever episode of story time
with Clawhammer
This is a banjo
It's an open-back banjo and you would play this
banjo typically
with the clawhammer style
I love the clawhammer style and when I
was choosing the name for my company I
just kind of landed on a word clawhammer that I thought was cool so what I
want to do here is just play a little
bit of clawhammer banjo just so y'all
can hear it maybe some of you folks have
never heard clawhammer before and then
I'm gonna talk about the future of clawhammer and the the logo and I'll tell
you why in just a second
so that song or the tune rather well I
guess it's a song because there are
lyrics
um that's called Nest Named Hop Hi My Lulu Gal
old time music for those of you
who are not familiar it's some sort of
it's it's just early American music so
we're talking you know sort of a
bluegrassy feel but music that was
created before bluegrass was a thing so
these are really old songs that were
written you know in early America and
some of some of the the music came over
from Europe banjo I believe is
originally an African instrument but it
all sort of melted together here in
early America and just amazing wonderful
music if you've never listened to it
moving on what I wanted to say was we
are actually going to change the the
logo the Clawhammer logo here soon
just we're going to update it and I just
wanted to mention this because the last
time I was really surprised by the
amount of feedback we had from folks who
wanted to weigh in on the logo and how
they thought it should look and feel
we're gonna stick with the hammer
because I really like the symbolism of
the hammer it's also much easier to work
into a logo than a banjo is but we're
gonna stick with the Clawhammer and my
thought is like a much sort of beefier
industrial hammer something very similar
to this which I just got at an antique
store yesterday and I kind of want to
draw it up and sort of like this like a
geometric style
so that's where we're going with this I
just wanted to give you all at the very
least a heads up to let you know that
that's what's coming down the pipeline
I'll remind you just once again please
