James I love that nice tambourine.  Is that the one you had at Antietam, that a pair of them was made?

Lisa

Yes, that is one of the copies that Dave Kershner made based upon my original.

Great how you have three things going on at once -  right and left hand, and your boot as well.  I definitely need to pick up some of these techniques. 

What is the tune started at 13:30 ?- so pretty!

That lucky audience really got a whole slew of fascinating info and colorful tales- great job, fellows!

P.S. Thanks for educating me about the India Rubber Overcoat-  who knew??

thanks listened and now I am working on Ole Virginy break Down cool song.

Mark or anyone, when you start playing Ole Virginy break Down, I hear the high banjo part, but when you drop down I can still hear it.  Why is that? is their someone else off stage playing it as well.

Nope. Must have been the ghost of Old Joe himself!
