Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Songs

I present four distinct treatments of this tune which hopefully hang together as some kind of cohesive whole in the end. The great Travis Wright finishes it off on clawhammer banjo.

Jeff Goehring, Ward Jarvis

Live gig. Just banjo and vocal. The banjo is a 1923 Gibson TB-3 Trapdoor conversion

my simple Scruggs style version of Soldier's Joy

(sorry for low quality, I used my phone for record)

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 5/5/17, Obama's March to the White House is a stately, but lively tune composed by the fiddling Canote twin, Greg. I heard Adam Hurt's beautiful playing of it before this TOTW made me aware of the Canote Brothers own version.

Sound demo of the whaling banjo (oak pot and neck) with a wash rag rolled up and stuffed in as a mute. I think this improves the sound tremendously.

Emory Bailey. G minor tuning fDGBbD. I learned this from Bob Lanham's version here on BHO.

Did some multitrack recording. I did the vocals, banjo, and my new Spanky Bano-uke. The backup is from Grasstrax. Not perfect, but I think it sounds OK. Let me know what you think.
