My Grandfather's Clock - by Jed Marum

What kind of banjo is that you're playing on? For a no resinator type, it has a very bright and wonderful sound. I'm looking for a banjo that does it all---clawhammer and bluegrass. That one looks like a good possibility. Great job on the song and thanks for posting it.

@d2majzoub - well when it comes to answering comments in a timely manner ... I guess ya just can't rush onto things!!

The banjo is a Deering Goodtime. It's a low cost, but very nice little banjo. It sound great and pays well. bright I have the head twisted down pretty tight and the strings tuned to A - for that bright sound. I love it. I've about worn it out!

I love it! And on a Goodtime Banjo? Who'd have guessed it?

Is that tuned high??

[TexasScottishFestiva]

Great job! Why not do the whole song???

And yeah - why don't you do a tutorial on your playing style for this song?

[orangejonny]

is there any chance of you doing a short lesson for this. it's mainly your picking style thats got me hooked!

[orangejonny]

this is totally awesome

[orangejonny]

5 stars!

boss that kidda

[cwknig2]

Ive never heard the words to that tune

[jedmarum]

There are four verses and a chorus to the song - written in an era of language we might today consider flowery and laborious! They are lovely, none-the-less and expertly paint a rich picture of life and values from a time not too far out of reach.
