Very beautiful- both the playing, and the sound of that wonderful banjo.

Thanks...hope I can hang onto it for a bit.

Not played entirely like Marc's tab...I double the fast triplet "E" on adjacent strings.

Are the ornaments you played written into the music?  They're quite "legit" Irish sounding.

I think (tried) to read it "as is". I'll check when I get home.

Yes...it is as is.
