How did I miss this the first time around?  Nicely done!

The picture goes so perfectly with it, too.

Good tune, and the banjo sounds amazing. That picture is one that used to turn up in all the Canadian history school textbooks, called "French Canadian Dance". It was credited to George Heriot, who painted Canadian scenes in the 1790s. I was always intrigued by the giant tambourines (or maybe just tambours)

I love those giant frame drums as well...and I love how the people seem to be stepping with such grace.

Thanks Ian for the paintings provenance!

It's a day to celebrate gourd banjers... I listen to this often, so beautiful.   :)
