Paul, this is absolutely terrific!!    My very fave of all your videos now....  love love love it, and so PERFECT on the gourd.

Really nice, and I love the backing track.   These timing on some of these tunes in the Rice Book are so rich and varied; the melody is more or less the same as 'Camptown Hornpipe' in Briggs but it becomes a whole different thing here.

great recording, and a sweet sounding gourd banjo

Wow - Crooked Camptown, love it! That gourd has a lot of depth.

Hi Ian - Jay reenforced the interior of the gourd with resin, which really boosts its resonance.  It seems to sound best in A/E.

Still my favorite one from your vids!   The percussion is the perfect icing on the cake.    :)
