For enthusiasts of early banjo
The Cuckoo.
This tune is found in Frank B. Converse's 1865 "Complete Method For the Banjo, With or Without a Master." I recorded it in the cab of my work truck, a Sterling single-axle day cab. There is something to be said for a job that allows you to practice banjo while on the clock ;^}

Interesting studio. I have a double sleeper Sterling that I diverted off course a couple of years ago to see you perform at Bull Whacker Days. Was well worth the detour!

Banjo's and trucks.Working class music! I drove a 20ft flatbed lumber hauler for years but never got a chance to bust down with a banjo in it. Nice tune and your 'back beat' style is just great.

One of my favourite old hornpipes. "Whisky Bill" Walsh, an old Port Dover commercial fisherman (on Lake Erie) had a verse of mildly naughty words for this tune. I'll sing 'em for you sometime. Actually just about all the words I've ever heard for this tune are a little racey. (except maybe John Hartford's) The banjo sounded great in the truck cab!
