from the cd: HOT Biscuit Jam w/ Liz Peason playing the two-finger banjo

Never played this tune until I saw it as the TOTW. Thanks Judy for suggesting it!

BHO member Don Couchie came to Boston for a visit, and we sat right down and started picking. This is the first thing we recorded, with my little Tascam DR-1. I am playing my Tubaphone, and the other Don is on the fiddle. This is a pretty Kentucky fiddle tune attributed to John Sayler. My arrangement is inspired by Adam Hurt's wonderful version.

I recorded this one with my Brooks Masten Silverspun L30. Lord what a banjer!

Short demo of my 12 inch pot with Renaissance head 24 inch scale nylon flush fret banjo

An A modal tune with the banjo tuned aDADE. Mainly from Burl Hammons

This is a standard old-time tune that I play in the key of A. I'm playing on my Enoch Dobson Model banjo with the tuning of aEAC#E. Enjoy!

Usually play this on fretless, but this time it's a Buckeye 12" maple fretted banjo with a nice, thick skin head.
