''Dixie McGuire'' first appeared on an album of Tommy's .... ''From Out Of Nowhere'' in 1979, then recorded by both Chet and Tommy in 1997, the album called, ''The Day Finger Pickers Took Over The World.'' I'm a big fan of both these fine gentlemen, and their lay back foot tappin' ''boom chick'' guitar style .... so here we go on banjo!. ..... KeyD, tunin' CGBD.

A Cab Calloway hit from the 1930's, that our 7 piece jazz band often played on a Sunday arvo' at the ''Story Bridge'' pub ... a very popular watering hole, here on the banks of the Brisbane river. \Key F, tuning CGBD ..... hope you enjoy this one on plectrum banjo.. ..... Don.

The chords in the second and third bars of this great tune, are currently under discussion on the 4st. forum ..... so I thought I'd record a version, using a couple of combinations, so players can hear how they each sound on plectrum banjo. Thanks for'a tunin' in'. ..... Don. Key C, tuning CGBD. Supporting Dave Cavage's 4st. forum topic .... '' Eddy Davis, Paul Whiteman Question, Whispering.''
