For enthusiasts of early banjo
Philadelphia Jig
A partially successful experiment in video self-accompaniment. iMovie doesn't provide a way (that I can find) to fine-tune the picture-in-picture's timing, and I'm pretty sure it's ever so slightly off. But mostly I'm just not much of a bones player. This tune, from Converse's green book of 1865 is is a simpler version of 'Callowhill Jig' from the yellow book. (But Callowhill is a neighborhood in Philadelphia!)

I like how that little bones player keeps his eye on the banjo player.

Heh, thanks! I thought that worked pretty well. Someday if I can manage to keep the camera still between takes I want to do a wide-angle, split screen duet.

That is a neat duet with yourself.

The camera was not moved and your face remained relatively stationary. It made me wonder if you could superimpose yourself to look like a four-armed banjo/bones player.
Well-played, well-recorded, and well-set up!
