My 'version' of JBD - not quite the classic tune, but close in feel I think. Note this is the audio version of a previously uploaded video.

Simple rendition of an old favorite serving as a demo of the "baritone" banjo, a low-tuned instrument (fretted) built for me by Jason Mogi (tuned dADF#a).

This tune comes from fiddler Harvey "Pappy" Taylor (1894-1987), of Effingham, Illinois, collected by the late Gary Harrison. I made this practice tape in 2011, playing my 1964 Ode Model 42, in a G variant tuning (gDGAD), capoed on the 2nd fret.

A tune collected by Tom Sauber & recorded on the Banjo Gathering album produced by Steve Baughman as a fundraiser for the Swannanoa Gathering. Tom learned it from Peter Tomlinson Bell, who learned it from his father during the Civil War. It's a version of 'Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine.' I play it here out of A modal. Thanks to my wife Lucy for backing me up on guitar.

A slow version of the first part of Steve Martin's Tin Roof. It's supposed to sound like rain falling onto a tin roof. Supposed to.

It's a bit woolly, that's the recording device.
