This is the version I associate with Dan Gellert's playing. Is there a transcription of this around? There are several bits especially that kick-off lick I'm having a hard time figuring out and it's not for lack of a good example. :)
Amazing!!! I do civil war reenacting and this is one of my favorite songs ever! Great job and real inspirtation. Makes me want to pull out my banjo and fiddle and join in! take er' easy! SGB
Thanks, this really takes me back. My parents were in a civil war band when I was little so I literally grew up on this sort of sound (im 26 now). Good show.
GREAT STUFF! Does steve have his fiddle tied around his neck? I have wrist problems & must try that. I love that old-time pickin Joe does. Sacrilege alert: some days I never care if I ever hear clawhammer again.
Thanks Gailg64... Glad you like it. This is Steve and yes, I'm using a homemade strap to hold up the fiddle... Just hate trying to hold the darned thing up with my neck... I know, I'm weird. Loved your sacrilege remark... I like clawhammered banjo, but it does seem like it gets to be almost a religion sometimes in old time... fingerpicked is also really nice... Joe does both, but perhaps favors the fingerpicked a little more still. thanks for the comment.
