Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 11/23/18, as played by Carl Baron on fiddle, learned from Melvin Wine, who Carl knew personally. After keeping up with those two fiddlers for this recording, I'll be slowing back down to my normal tempo. :)

Not perfect. Just trying to fine tune my technique.

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 11-16-18, Kentucky Winder is a crooked tune from John Salyer. A winder may be a kind of a dance, but not much is known about it. Kentucky tunes like this are often mysteriously pleasing.

Contribution for TOTW 9 November 2018. Starts with my "work in progress" two-finger picking and ends with clawhammer. Key of A, with banjo tuned aEAC#E.

This is a clip from a semi-weekly jam with Larry Edelman (fiddle), Dave Parman (guitar), and me (banjo). I am largely faking it since this was the second time I had ever played the tune. Recorder was on my knee, so banjo is a bit more present relative to the other instruments, but posting anyway. I love playing tunes with these guys! Banjo (tuned to open G--gDGBD) is a 1903 Fairbanks Whyte Laydie #2 with pie-plate resonator.
