A simple minstrel Banjo tune in D, from Briggs' 1855 Banjo Instructor, played on a Jeff Menzies Gourd Banjo. Love that half rest after the first section!

Very Crisp! That banjo has a nice snap!
Excellent! I really like the sound of your banjo.
Thanks everyone! I've been rediscovering my gourd lately, will have to record some new tunes on it!
good one!
I agree with Nicholas- a real crispy snap on this one- nice!
Andy, this video of yours was the first time I ever heard the tune Old Joe several years ago, and it's what inspired me to learn to play it myself. Thank you!
I recall the first time listening, thinking how very odd that silent rest was! (lolol) Now it seems just so natural to have that there. ;) I think some people make the rest last even longer- until the next measure starts. Hmm...then I'd have time to make a quick cup of coffee and get back before beat 1 comes up again... =8-D
