Two reels from O'Neil's book

Dillon Brown and Mason's apron

in the tune of A ( aAEAC#E )

On my 6 string

My take of this fantastic old Song. Working on a more traditional sound, but this sounds good to me also. We will probably meet somewhere in the middle when I get the traditional feel down more. I am using a three finger clawhammer(?) sort of style, just my own personal take on the banjo in general. I can do a 4 finger kind of frailing style also, when I have a fingernail or some sort of support on the ring finger. People really like that style and when I get it down it really makes people happy. Thats what it's all about!!

My old version from 1968. Inspired by David Lindley

Jean Ritchie's classic lament to the death of a way of life
