To kick off the new year, this week we have selected some of the highlights from the earlier part of 2008. First, banjo maestro Gerry O'Connor plays two reels: "The Bag of Spuds" and "The Copperplate", which were recorded in Gerry's home town of Nenagh in October 2004, after the release of his CD "No Place Like Home." Gerry is now in the final stages of completing his new CD.

  • ok, im a begginer and I need to know what I should get for a banjo

  • Okay I really appreciate the banjo, I'm Irish too and this kind of music is in my heritage. However, as a skilled guitar player, I cannot see the technical difficulty in any of this, I appreciate that he wrote this, but it's no harder than any intermediate solo I know on guitar. Am I missing the point?

  • @ARouMusic "The Bag of Spuds" and "The Copperplate."

  • GDAe most probably. Standard tuning.

  • omg!"#$"#

    

  • Does anybody know what tuning he uses? I'm trying to teach myself to play Celtic music.

  • very good picking of that

  • @gonzoguy01 It obviously isn't an original composition you idiot its traditional music!!

  • who cares if it isnt original he plays it wonderfully
