    Allie Burbrink, songwriter and clawhammer banjo picker for the Indiana band, The Whipstitch Sallies, also has a rich sense of humor. This video was captured on the band’s cell phones and edited using Allie’s home-studio. In her words, “I got bitten by the banjo bug at John C. Campbell Folk School and the Indiana Fiddlers’ Gathering a few years ago. When I heard the line in “TIK TOK”,’Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy’,… I wondered how that must feel, and then I thought that waking up like that must be pretty nice compared to how I wake up.I got to thinking about how I wake up, and I got to thinking about how P. Diddy sounds like “bum-ditty”, which is the strum you do in clawhammer banjo style”, the rest is pure fun! www.thewhipstitchsallies.com
