From "The Players Come Again" by Jasperoo (Jasperoo.bandcamp.com)

Farewell Trion

Banjo - aEAC#E Banjo setting with Ed Haley's fiddling in the background

This tune with the strange title goes by several other titles. I chose to learn by using the fiddle notation in the Samuel Bayard book, Dance to the Fiddle March to the Fife, and to play it on the cello banjo in an equivalent tuning to double C.

May Day #1

Playing around with new Focusrite, and software; testing mix on different devices. Should probably redo it... a lot of xrun dropouts, other sync timing issues.

Playing with different arrangement - rough draft

A.C. Overton from the NC Banjo Collection

In the style of Kyle Creed, playing in E twitter: @banjodemp

Have you ever heard of a bour?e? It's a dance of the 1700's. The Tune of the Week introduced us to two dance tunes, interestingly with a mid-eastern flavor.
