Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 2/16/18, Moon Behind the Hill was learned by Melvin Wine listening at a dance and remembering it 2 or 3 months later.

Key of G with banjo tuned to open G (gDGBD). From Melvin Wine.

A really haunting instrumental of a tune that was recorded by the Wailin' Jennys with full vocals. I'm not a vocalist by any stretch of the imagination, hence the instrumental (condensed) version.

Quick and dirty version fo Roscoe's "Hills of Mexico" to illustrate the thumb first string section...
