Big Sciota (Big Scioty)

A great old traditional tune about a river in Ohio, sometimes called Big Scioty - but the proper name seems to be Scioto (the name means 'deer' - as does, interestingly, the Shenendoah).



The UK trio the Jaywalkers do a nice version,



And another version (by Northern Exposure), this time featuring some lovely banjo work.


 
And a version by Not Too Far From The Tree:
 
 
And a banjo version tutorial (although I'm not sure he follows all the tune):
