Clawhammer, tuned gCGCD with a brass pick.

Inspired by Tom Berghan's version, whose wonderful playing is a distant goal to which I can only aspire.

I like to think that the change of tempo between the A and B parts is deliberate, rather than because it's so much harder to run up and down the neck :-)

Played on a Bart Reiter Professional banjo. Inspired by the banjo playing of Sherman Hammons.

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 11/4/16, via James Bryan of Alabama -- my favorite fiddler. If you check out the current TOTW you can also hear Nick Hornbuckle's superb 2-finger version.

... bring along a demijohn.

I just worked this out from the Shades of Death Creek album by New Bad Habits (Chirps Smith, Dave Landreth, Tim Foss, and Andy Gribble). They play it much more up tempo and in key of D. I played in the key of C (gCGCD) here. This is played on a 1903 Fairbanks Whyte Laydie #2.

Simple multitrack version of the tune "Needlecase" (fiddle, clawhammer banjo, guitar, hammered dulcimer, bass).

I listened to several versions and used "mmuussiiccaall's" tabs and came up with this version.

It has a few "flub ups". Maybe you will like it anyway.

I am playing my homebuilt 12 inch cherry banjo and recorded this on a zoom H5. Larry

Lloyd Chandler's "A Conversation With Death" played 2 finger thumb lead with some 3 finger Dock Boggs-ish thrown in
