I took up the Banjo a few weeks back. I'm palying clawhammer style and I've listened to quite a few banjoists on youtube but, your playing and sound is to my ear the way clawhammer should sound, Beautiful !!!!!
Outstanding version of a little-known song. As "Rush And the Pepper" I have only seen this available in a book by Garry Harrison called "Dear Old Illinois." My group plays it with guitar, mountain dulcimer and hammered dulcmer but I LOVE hearing you play it on banjo !
Thanks for the kind words. I learned the tune from Garry and highly recommend his book. I think Cathy Fink has recorded it on solo banjo on one of her CDs, but otherwise I've only heard it at Illinois jams.

I think you're playing the best melodic clawhammer banjo on the tube...
