Sockeye 22.05.2015 ↓

I&#39ve been messing with my Fostex MR-8HD recording machine over the past week as I had a little time. Someone asked me about the Don Reno tune Sockeye. I never really played it so I decided that would be a good song to learn and record so I could practice using the Fostex. I&#39ve had the machine for several years but could never find the time to really learn how to use it. Anyway, I had a lot o...

Appalachian Rain 29.10.2014 ↓

Just a couple of days ago I decided to learn how to play this incredibly melodic tune written by Paul Craft (as played by Ben Eldridge of The Seldom Scene), and I think I&#39ve about got it down. There are a few rough spots, but that&#39s to be expected since I&#39m not Ben Eldridge. This was played on my custom banjo with a Huber tone ring, Frank Neat neck, and Factory Floor rim. It was recorded...

Hard Times Come Again No More 04.06.2014 ↓

aDF#AD . . . not Foster&#39s original chords. I just played harmonies that sounded nice to me. I couldn&#39t resist using a diminished chord in the chorus.

I'll Fly Away 28.05.2014 ↓

My latest amateur, multi-track recording effort playing all of the bluegrass instruments :-) I borrowed most of the banjo lead from Tony Trischka&#39s &#34All Star Bluegrass Jam Along Book&#34 for banjo. It&#39s a nice jam along book with a practice CD. The banjo is a nice hobby and great therapy!

Deception Past 19.05.2014 ↓
