this reminds me of hedy west, she stayed in our home in early 70s during a swedish leg, and she played the banjo a lot.

@jonasjar - Thankyou Jonas - Really enjoyed your channel , some superb stuff on there and agree wholeheartedly with your perspective on music - All the best, Andy

This is great. I love Bert Jansch, been trying to work out The Waggoners Lad but not much luck with it yet. All the best, John

[mooosedog]

Thanks Flatfoot. Love Bert Jansch too and all the Pentangle stuff - I saw him playing a little club in Cornwall about 20 years ago accompanied by a crazy electric jazz guitarist. It was a wild sound , unexpected but it worked so well with Berts acoustic and 'that voice' - Good luck with Waggoners Lad - Best wishes, Andy

This sounds so nice, what tab did you use?

[mooosedog]

Thanks Lushlux - I didn't use tab for this one...I just played around on the Dm chord and G - Glad you enjoyed it - All the best, Andy

I bought an ancient record compilation of folk banjo playing. It had a mindblowing instrumental version of this song by Eric Weissberg that I cannot find anywhere else.
