I tried a harmony part. So there are 2 banjos.

A bit of Prohibition and Depression era history here, the poor farmer couldn't make enough money raising cotton. Four Cent Cotton led to raising corn instead for whiskey. Times haven't changed so much, sad to say. This arrangement comes from the early recording of fiddler Lowe Stokes.

Played on refurbished "frankenstine" banjo. Recording King neck fitted to a Saga aluminum pot with a skin head.

ORIGINAL SONG written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show (song challenge): Write a song for Groundhog's Day, Whistle Pig or Woodchuck.

My guitar version of the theme song from Japanese animated film "Howl's Moving Castle".

I uploaded this yesterday but was decided I could do better. This new version is cleaner overall and I added a bass line (banjo down 1 octave in post production)

Just my quick take on this cool old fiddle tune. This is two banjos, one serving as a drone bagpipe-like rhythm backup ... tons of fun to play.
