Old Time, Old Time, Old Time  . . . . . and some other stuff - A channel dedicated mostly to Old Time/Americana music via clawhammer style picking. Clawhammer just about everything possible.

Personal overview: Name - Lincoln Cromwell. Experience - playing banjo since 1972. Early playing strongly influenced by first teachers, Dad and Stephen Slottow. Later influences by recordings, musicians I play with regularly and Ruff Alley Banjos. Interests - Ruff Alley Banjos, Rettberg & Lange banjos, Kay Kraft, Cromwell and Lehmann brand stringed instruments. My musical heroes are Jim Stafford, Racquette River Rounders, David Lindley, Vic Kibler, Sam Ku West, Vic Chesnutt, Mac Benford and Richie Stearns. Big, big thanks to Mom, Dad, Kit Fallon, Richard S.
