Recorded this last night on my Luscomb No. 2 banjo.  It's been a while since I last played this tune, so I may have misremembered parts.  I overstepped some of those triplets.

Paul--Excellent!  Love the syncopation and bluesy riffs.  That my kinda banjo music, slick and sleazy, goes down easy.

So long as I'm not going to get pummeled, slow this down a speck and I'll play it with you at Antietam.

Thanks Rob. Al, looking forward to it!

Thanks for posting - good stuff!  The Analytical method seems to have a lot of great pieces in it.  I hope to explore it more, one of these years.

The coolest of the cool old banjo tunes. If Link Wray had been a minstrel banjo player...

yes....and this is one that amazes me, by virtue of the fact that the notation communicates this infectious groove. Feel is music, but rhythm...is math.
