SHOOT THAT TURKEY BUZZARD


Some people think "Shoot that Turkey Buzzard" and "DAVY DUGGER" are the same tune, just dressed out a little differently. Steve Green and I once asked Clyde if he thought they were the same tune. "See the difference?" Clyde replied. "Here's 'Turkey Buzzard," he said, and he played the low part. "Keep on with that," said Steve, while Clyde stopped and played the low part of "Davy Dugger." When he was through demonstrating the differences, Clyde said, "That's 'Davy Dugger.'"

Do you hear the difference?

For Clyde, they're two different tunes, not similar.
