For enthusiasts of early banjo

LOTUS JIG

A quick video I initially dashed off for my banjo playing buddy Lotus Wight, in Chelsea, Quebec. From the back pages of Winner's 1883 American School For The Banjo. I double-tracked it on my Bell Boucher. If you're reading the music carefully you'll see I mixed up a couple of cadences but it's all basically there. It's not the greatest banjo tune ever. I just liked the name.

Comment by Paul Draper on April 28, 2014 at 9:41am: Sounds great Ian. I love the pluckiness of this tune. Another one for the to-learn list.

Comment by Ian Bell on April 28, 2014 at 11:17am: I overdubbed a rhythm track, Stumelia.

Comment by Paul Draper on April 28, 2014 at 11:42am: Has some elements of the Original Essence of Old Virginny in it. Thanks for posting this Ian. I should start looking at the Winner more often.

Comment by Ian Bell on April 28, 2014 at 8:11pm: >Paul, That Winner Book has yielded more than its share of fun for me at least. Besides, he wrote "Listen to the Mocking Bird" - so where would the Three Stooges be without him?
