This one's for Jim, whose playing is inimitable, but he's glad to have us join in!

For the brotherhood, from your sister. My favorite version has been Doc's.

Got this tune from BHO member Bill Reese. I really like the sound of this Sea Shanty!

At a music camp dance several years ago, Kit and I heard Heidi Claire fiddling this as the traditional last song of a dance. We just had to learn it and found a notated source by Elena Corey when she was active in the California Bluegrass Association. Here's our banjo/mandolin duet.

One of the good old hymns!

Trying out a "Presto" tailpiece on my B&P Short Scale. I was just messing around but would appreciate constructive comments that could improve my playing. I hope this recording is not to tinny sounding. I am tuned up to "DD" so the air is a little thin up there. A touch out of tune on the "A", sorry. (6-1-2012: I ended up putting the No Knot back on and just stuffed it a little more . . . I'll be back with another version.)

Here is my arrangement of Amazing Grace recorded with Kentucky 31 in 2002

One of the great old hymns.

Allowing myself to get all jazzy and crazy with June Apple, taking it wherever I want to go. Yes, it's over the top. Yes, it's sloppy. Hopefully it's also sort of fun and different and enjoyable in some fashion.
