Tim Eriksen/fretless banjo on Ugljan- can you name the tune?

Filmed at village Funcici on the island Ugljan, Dalmacija, Hrvatska. http://mapq.st/pvoNmK

I've been playing banjo a long time, but mostly play the same few tunes over and over when I have time. This is one of the ones I play a lot, but I don't know the name. Does anyone know what it is?

I tend to do the same thing...

The tune reminds me a bit of "Going Across the Sea", it may be the same?

[batfancy]

@haikumathieu That would be rather appropriate. Maybe it's called "I'm going across the sea after I play some festivals in the Czech Republic and buy some duty free Krecik socks at the Prague airport." (How do you say "Krecik/Krtek/Mali Moljac" en Francais?")

[haikumathieu]

@batfancy Wish I could help, but I got no idea what "Krecik/Krtek/Mali Moljac" are? :-)

[batfancy]

@haikumathieu Dude! The little mole guy cartoon- you must have him in French. He likes flowers and birds, and plays records and things?...

[haikumathieu]

Respond to this video... Well, I check on Google, but it doesn't ring any bell...I'll ask around to see if it's just me, or if it never aired around here...Anyway, there's a short entry in Wikipedia, apparently, it's called either Taupek, or La Petite Taupe (the little mole). I gonna watch some

[batfancy]

@haikumathieu Of course there's no reason why you should know this cartoon- I just assumed the little mole was as popular in France as in other parts of Europe.

Sounds a bit like Tom Dooley.

please please never delete your channel. I am 17 and I used to worship this guy whose channel was called peglegsam - and he had all the old pete seeger rainbow quest episodes, and one day I checked back and it was all gone. Having that happen to your channel would leave another hole in my heart

[sazji]

No idea but I'm nabbing that tune!

[TwinklySparkles]

I love this, Tim. A new favorite. I just put it on my blog.

I have no idea what the tune is. Totally ignorant.

here's to fiddling shadows! great playing and cinematography.

You and I play the same miner and modal type of old time... You play in a very nice simple way... I try to make it as complex as I can... Also do you use a 12in rim or an 11in rim?

[FlatfootJohnny]

brilliant... and i agree about the shadow... if you cover the half of the image with yiou in it ( no offence :-D) it kinda looks like an animation... nice

I have no idea but I wanna go there:) dang it I love banjo !!!

[sac78008]

The natural beauty in your videos brings out the contemplative side of the music you play. Thank you!

[blueholygrass]

My guess was also "goin across the sea", but you definitely have a different take than most I've heard. Love the scenery and music :)
