Converse's "Banjo Without a Master" (AKA "The Yellow Book") of 1865. Tempo wanders a bit as I try to get the hang of keeping time with a foot tambourine.

It's been raining on and off for the last couple of weeks, which makes natural hide heads saggy and uncooperative. The banjo sounds mushy and you can listen to it go out of tune over the course of two minutes. Have to try this one again if it ever dries out around…

Then I found a rattle in the Jazz drum kit that sounds a lot like a jawbone. Interesting possibilities here, if only for practice!
