Cold Frosty Morning/Shady Grove/Betty Likens: Gold Tone Graphite Neck

[micmoable]

I love the sounds of a banjo---the sound always makes me think of the old days of slavery and the struggle of the Civil War

[banjochuck]

These tunes are old, and are played in "clawhammer" style, the style first documented in the 1850s. Thanks for giving them a listen!

@banjochuck I'm not a banjo player but I do play guitar. You mentioned the old clawhammer style--Grandpa Jones mostly played in clawhammer style --I sure liked to hear him play and sing those old songs of his. I enjowed your playing also--keep up the good work. see my vid MY CAT SONG TOMBOY and MICHAEL MOSLEY'S SONG-I JUST MOVED INTO WAL-MART and others

[banjochuck]

I visited your site. I enjoyed your singing, your songs, and your guitar work.

[micmoable]

*** That Gold-Tone Tubaphone sounds really nice.

[banjochuck]

Thanks! It is fun to play! It has a good balance. It is bright but not painfully so.. I appreciate you taking the time to listen.

[wolfieboyer]

Smooth man, sounds great.

[banjochuck]

Hey Wolfgang,

Thanks for the compliment! You have some intersting stuff yourself. I see you're in Lancester. I used to live in Columbus. Howdy neigbor.

Excellent tunage. I don't know West VA, but these are tunes that brought me to learn claw.

[banjochuck]

Hey, thanks for taking a listen. I guess they are classic tunes for a reason. Glad you liked them!
