Graham Townsend, Canadian winning dance fiddler and prolific tunester till his death in 1998, wrote this reel and played it rapidly and notes. I simplified the A part, but not as much the B part, and slowed it down here.

CH banjo, guitar, harmonica

The opening segment of Wake Up Darlin' Corey from the Art Stamper album of the same name. Fiddle-Art Stamper; Banjo-Harry Bickel; Guitar-Doc Hamilton

Clawhammer style, gDGCD (relative). 1964 Gibson RB-175.

From another time when Plinky & Plunky used to perform this ballad....I haven't sung it in years, but for the sake of TOTW, here is our version, less Plinky whose arthritic hands don't want to play mandolin these days.

Made a fretless banjo from a walnut tree from my friend Ralph's back yard.

Played on a homemade gourd banjo for TOTW sample.
