Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Songs

Playing along with a Jam track from the online academy of Irish music

Just playing around the house while the kids run around. Nothing serious. I used my daughter's $100 Squire Electric Bass, my $100 guitar and my children's toy tambourine for a little percussion. Then I sang and played banjo over the tracks.

I had a thanksgiving jam and George Flink on 6 string and John Walkenbach on guitar came over. This was the highlight. I thought I was friends with George, but I couldn't find him. That's him on the 6 string banjo.

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 12/2/16, from the playing of Virginia fiddler Taylor Kimble (1892 - 1979). I wouldn't know much at all about this kind of corn, so I'm sure this version won't "set your head on fire," as the lyrics said.

From my "Carry On John" cd - named for the Riverhouse Motorlodge in Gatlinburg, TN. Strings arranged and played by Jim Wood.

Nothing flashy. Just a simple folk song I wrote a few years ago. Recorded on my Bart Reiter Round Peak in an abandoned homestead somewhere near Grand Junction, CO. The album this song is on, "Giving My Bones to the Western Lands" can be found at slackeyeslim.bandcamp.com for free.
