Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs

Another version of Magpie, this time I'm getting acquainted with my new banjo (Rickard White Laydie Half-Spun).

This a tune that our band Sugar Pie learned from Mark Tamsula and Richard Wither's lovely CD Up in the Batten House. The tunes on Mark Tamsula's CD are all collected in western PA by Samuel Bayard. Fiddle: Jane Rothfield; banjo: Hilarie Burhans; guitar, Kellie Allen; bass, Sabra Guzman

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 4/15/17, Roscoe comes from the fiddling of Kyle Creed, who previously I only was familiar with as a well-known banjo picker and maker. It's a good dance tune.

Columbus Sails to Kokomo... (Updated the MP3 - clearer mix)

For the old-time Tune of the Week from WV Burl Hammonds' banjo. The tuning is "Little Birdie" tuning, f#DABE, so I combined the two similar tunes.
