Paddy on the Handcar with John Maguire




 Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs show

Summary: I was turned onto this tune by my fiddling friend John Maguire, who has been joining Ed Britt and I lately on our busking adventures. It is nicely crooked, with an extra two measures as it wanders off in a new direction at the end of the B part. I recently posted a YouTube video of this (mostly to show folks I was recovering nicely from stitches I had to have in my right hand), and John stripped the audio from it and added the fiddle. It sounded so good I thought I would share it. . I am picking my 1902 Fairbanks Whyte Laydie in G variant tuning (dDGAD).
