Last Chance - Clawhammer Banjo

Last Chance, from Hobart Smith, recorded at the La-Roche-sur-Foron Bluegrass Festival, July 30th 2009. Played on an S.S. Stewart strung with Nylgut (tuning is fDFCD, though tuned low). A kissing cousin to 'Rambling Hobo' and Dock Boggs' 'Davenport'.

A fairly different recording is on my new CD with Casey Joe Abair, "If You Want to Go to Sleep, Go to Bed" (Yodel-Ay-Hee 074): http://hunterrobertson.com/ifyouframe.html
