[damfino217]

Does anyone know anything about this banjo Mike is playing?

[1canyonguy]

Always amazing

[fngrpkn06]

Very nice great tune!

[dogjones65]

Ashley learned the tune at the turn of the 20th century not the 19th, as it reads in the info section.

[MrPennswoods]

does any one know what key this song is in?

[bikegeek6666]

@MrPennswoods believe it's in G modal aka "sawmill" tuning-- on banjo from 5th to 1st string it's GDGCD

R.I.P. .... can anyone put Johnson City Blues up on this-a-here Youtube?

[lotuswight]

[richintalent]

was he related to Pete Seeger?

[msouthern9763]

Mike was Pete Seeger's younger half-brother. They came from a very musical family. There's a brief summary biography of Mike on Wikipedia.

[gorblimey61]

I just found out that Mike has passed on. Sad news.

[KarloR27]

I found just awhile ago today I can't believe it.
