A good friend of mine is in law school a couple hundred miles away. He came home over christmas break, we set up one Blue Bluebird mic and had a good time trying to play this song

It's said in the Library of Congress that Henry Reed learned this from Quince Dillon, the fifer, and that it was a tune used by the British to retreat from their defeat in the Battle of New Orleans. Alan Jabbour recorded Henry Reed.

Merry Christmas! Played by Bob Lanham, in Gm tuning (gDGBbD) on a Bart Reiter Bacophone Plus banjo. My version began with the simple one in "The Banjo Player's Songbook" by Tim Jumper, and then adding my own embellishments.

Fun to play with full chords, like a piano.

A round with banjo and mandolin.

Bonaparte crossing the Rhine as played by "The Old Grey Dogs" I chose to play this out of double C tuning as i love the bottom end of the banjo in this tuning. Hope you all enjoy i.t

Nice tune written by DebbieLee Whelchel.

Learned from a Bill Monroe recording. A polka danced this fast must be easier than playing it.

Learned from Mike Iverson's tab then went a slighty different direction.

Song is probably played a lot faster most of the time, but this fit the mood I was in for the night!

I am in the midst of teaching this to my violin student class. There are 3 violin parts for my students and I play the banjo. Weird or what? it works and they are enjoying it.

Hope you enjoy
