This song is based upon a newspaper article I read several years ago. Had fun writing the song.

This recording is a demo with my openback banjo and a Flatpup-5 custom pickup. The pickup is going up for sale in my BHO classifieds: https://www.banjohangout.org/classified/67227.

Well, my clawhammer journey continues, this time taking an unconventional song and giving it a banjo twist. Please excuse the lame vocals, I really should have practiced it a lot more before I decided to record it. But.... I did it anyway 'cause I love the banjo sound so much!!!

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 12-8-17, a 1924 fiddle recording of Dr. D.D. Hollis produced 12 recordings. I find Whistlebee an odd name and it has odd timing, too. The tune has been recorded with little resemblance to the source fiddler and it's hard to say why. It's fun to play and has a busyness to it that might resemble a bee.

My Attempt at improvisational Blues in gCGCC. Recorded on a phone, sorry. Any feedback welcome.

Old Time folk song about the old quilting bees. My grandma was one of them.

Not sure if the other version I did was playable or not

Hey folks! I have been learning Banjo for about a year now with the end goal of having an extension of myself with which to express myself fully in ways that words cannot. In other words, I want to speak fluently through my banjo. I am entirely self taught, but have had a deep passion for folk music around the world my entire life, and a special place in my heart for Appalachian folk music. I am posting this here with the hope that you guys would offer me any advice, any criticisms, literally anything at all that you think may help me out. Don't hold back guys.
