Gourd - Cripple Creek Redux

Here I give some screen time to Neysa, my Gourd Banjo (Neysa is greek for 'pure'.) as well as revisit the first song I posted about three months ago, Cripple Creek.

I love how it sounds on the Gourd, mistakes and all. It's a very expressive instrument.

An extremely talented young instrument builder named Brian Carver built it for me. If you want one of your own, he can be reached at ==brian1988@sbcglobal.net==. He builds Banjos, mandolins, fiddles, you name it.

Sometimes you hear music and sometimes you can feel music. Best of all is when you can hear and feel music. For that last reason I have favoured this gem of a video. Beautiful playing!

[bluedanbob]

Why thank you kindly! Appreciate you stopping by.

I saw banjoparia playing one of your instruments. Think he's awesome.. Some nice instrument you've built for him.. Love it..

Oh, I didn't build this, I wish! A young man named Brian Carver did. I'm just a lucky banjo player who got his hands on one. See the info section for this video for his contact info. :)

And I agree, Banjopariah is a very talented fellow.
