Hi Annie and Mac! I'm learning this tune. Great arrangement. Are you in 2C tuning? ....with a capo on the 2nd fret?

[annieandmac]

@mioumiou88 Thanks for your message. The tuning is 2C bumped up 2 frets to make it 2D. It's one of my favorite tunes.

If you ever found yourself in a banjo duel with patrick costello over who has the better clawhammer videos, I'd say you take the cake.

What kind of banjo is that, custom? Rods? Size? I like it a lot.

[annieandmac]

The banjo is a Vega II by Deering. If you go to the Deering site they have all the specs. Thanks for your message - I'm glad Patrick Costello and I are on the same side promoting all styles of banjo playing!

great job of picking .Mac you and Annie are super talented people. I don't remember Bill Monroes version of the song .But I do remember Andy Griffith doing it on The Andy Griffith Show . Again thanks for a great job. Wayne S.

[annieandmac]

Thanks Wayne. The Monroe Brothers recorded it when it was just Bill and Charlie.
