I asked last year, and I'll ask again. Where's the DVD of all your youtube videos?? Hint, hint!

@banjoplayer57 You're so kind - we may try to get something together this summer. I think there are copyright issues so it would have to be just the PD songs.

I had never heard that tune before. It was very nice. Thanks for doing it.

@thelonegroover Thanks for your comments and mesage. The banjo i'm using here is the "house banjo" - the one that sits in the stand ready to play at all times. I keep it tuned a step low because we like to sing in the key of F. Also there are no rr spikes installed to capo the 5th string. That's why double C tuning becomes double Bb.

Outstanding. Simply outstanding. I tip my hat to a fellow frailer and his very gracious accompanist. When I think good music, I think Annie and Mac!

Best to you both.
