Well played.  I don't recall ever hearing that one and will have to look it up!

Thanks Al. Paul posted it a while back which is how it got on my radar. I wonder if it has lyrics. I keep singing the words 'dont you hear the bulgine, don't you hear the bulgine' over the low notes on the B part.

This is great Chris!  You are such a fine player.

Can someone explain the tune title for me?  (I keep thinking "Begin the Beguine"...)

Thank you :D

I looked up bulgine and seems it's a train engine.

Hi Chris - the lyrics are in this book, for one. https://books.google.com/books?id=bDRYAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA31&lpg=...'t+you+hear+the+bulgine&source=bl&ots=VISQ9QKBHu&sig=jGGArabr4rP7_WPV61MwnMpYE2w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjVm8_w0ILNAhUG4CYKHYTfBfsQ6AEIKTAG#v=onepage&q=don't%20you%20hear%20the%20bulgine&f=false

Thanks Paul! I actually had a nother Bryant's book but added this one. Very cool, kinda makes me think of Old Molly Hare for some reason.

Super Nice! I have been wanting to Hear that Banjo for some time, I have heard a few others, but not as crisp as that recording..it is Jim Hartel's Sweeney I am assuming, Sounded awesome.
