Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
From "Symphonion Dream" (1975)
Version note:
Nitty Gritty released six versions of this song, starting with the version on "Symphonion Dream."
It was followed on the album by the instrumental "Sally Was A Goodun." Some later releases of "Bayou
Jubilee" merged the two songs into a medley.
One change from version to version was the description of the moonin the second verse. The "yellow moon"
became a "Cajun moon" on "Dirt, Silver and Gold" (1976), and a "big ol' moon" on "Will The Circle Be
Unbroken, Vol. 2" (1989). Take your pick.
