Based on the Mike Iverson Tab. Once again, not perfect, I've just decided that I would upload some recordings a bit more often to get some feedback. I've been playing for about 6 months.

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.

Just messing about, it?s pretty rough & ready.

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.

Doubled the number of J hooks, head much tighter.

We recorded this song in the mid 80's as members of the Hardly Herd Band on a 4 track reel to reel live. My late brother Loren Porter was singing the tenor and I was doing the lead, Bill Gorby was playing bass and the late Art Hammer playing Fiddle. Hope you enjoy it. Larry

This classic piece by the blind harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) is perfect for Celtic fingerstyle banjo. It's a popular session tune, played with reverence for the last of the Irish harper-composers. The "clairseach" or Irish harp was tuned diatonically and had metal wire for strings, usually made of brass, silver, gold or a silver-gold alloy. With gratitude to Mel Bay, here's a play-along-track from my fourth book/audio download, 20 O'Carolan Irish Classics for 5-String Banjo and All Instruments - find it here: https://www.melbay.com/Products/21599M/20-ocarolan-irish-classics.aspx
