Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Bluegrass (Scruggs) Songs

Shuckin the Corn on my 1928 (Gibson) Oriole conversion with mahogany neck.

I'm assembling a few "one-man band" recordings for my mom for christmas. She loves to hear my banjo and I don't get to visit her much due to work schedule. Just worked this one up in about two hours.

Just trying to play some of the songs we used to use in shows ...I get pretty frustrated with with my hands , but at least pain in the joints eases up a bit after I play for a few minutes...

Continuing to document the transformation of my Leo Master banjo. These are fairly rare - original five string from the fifties. Although it has a 1/8" raised bead on the inner lip of the rim to give it an "archtop" appearance, i installed a 1/8" prewar brass hoop on the outside of the rim.

With the skin head tightened to about a G#, and a Sosebee bridge, this is the result. Very pleased. This banjo is for sale, if you're interested.

This is a 1990 Gibson RB-3 reissue with Reno inlay. It's got a Gary Price no-hole ring in it. It's got a nice full mahogany tone you'd expect from these great banjos.

First heard this tune played by the Barkers Vale Brothers on Youtube - absolutely loved it.

Found a video lesson to download from Mike Hedding's excellent website.
