East Virginia Blues (porch music) X2

Back in 2003 while vacationing in Prince Edward Island (on Canada's east coast) I met Jeff Melzack from Massachusetts. (He was staying at the same motel). I was playing on the porch of the motel when Jeff came over with his fiddle, introduced himself and sat down to play along. Eventually he went and got his small portable tape recorder. Later he sent me a copy of his tape which I have just come across.
I have tagged it onto my most recent porch session.
Hope you enjoy...

That's right... mountain banjo.

My mountain banjo was made by Clifford Glenn of Sugar Grove N.C. in 2001.
