So, do we periodically look at <earlybanjotraditions.com> to see when it is available?

In what form will it be offered?  CD?  Download?  Both/Either?

Hi Al, I will try to let everyone know when I have them in hand. Should be 10 days to two weeks. CD format is what I was thinking. Are you a download guy?

Comment by Al Smitley on November 21, 2015 at 11:50am

No, I prefer the CD.  I always become anxious when dealing with the more technical act of downloading because, if I have problems, I don't know where to turn!  I look forward to purchasing the CD!

Mark do you mind if I post a link on the clawhammer banjo Facebook page the folks over there that might be interested

Not at all, but might want to wait until I have them ready to sell?

Can't wait to buy the CD!   Just listening to this amazing clip is enough to drive one insane until they own it!

very awesome, those drums are rather slumpin'! really diggin all the percussive texture.

Thanks Chris, the way percussion interacts with the banjo to create groove was one of my interests in this project. Several of the tracks contain some sort of percussive element - African Bass Drum, Doumbek, Tambo, Triangle, & Shaker!

It sounds so good. Mark, you are such a soulful interpreter of the earliest music. Skill...and imagination combined.
