Ooh, love this

[Voran]

I think at some point I'll get me a banjo as well as my various ukes. Love the raw and slightly mournful quality of the zingy high strings.

I like the way he mixes three finger pickin' and clawhammer.
Here's a tune my friend Al and I did a few years ago. I'm playing clawhammer and Al's playing 3 finger style, Our buddy Zeke is playing the fiddle.

I increasingly feel I want a banjo of my own someday. Got oodles of other music I'd like to practice and record first, but I love the zingy sound and the rapid fire playing, I'd love to be capable of playing that stuff.

I've heard many versions of this old folksong and I like them all. It was collected by Olive Campbell and Cecil Sharp from a woman called Mrs. Tom Rice of Big Laurel, North Carolina in 1916 and included in their English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians.
Being an old folkie, I love trivia like this. I realise that not everyone appreciates it.

I had the good fortune to spend a week with Cathy and Marcy in music camp in 2019. They sure are great performers and teachers and just great friends. They have an upcoming baritone uke workshop that may be of interest to some of the people here.
