Minstrel Banjo

For enthusiasts of early banjo

On the battlefield at Gettysburg, near the Battery A US 2nd Artillery Monument on Reynolds Avenue. I believe this is more or less the arrangement from Rice 1858. It's such a short tune that I usually like to play both parts 4 times instead of 2, but my brain hiccuped on the A part here.

Nicholas, Jeff Menzies made my banjo. It's got a 12 inch pot made of 1/4" oak, and a maple neck.

 

Tim, the funny thing is, I did actually learn the Rice version, as written; I remember your same comment in one of your YouTube recordings.  But I haven't played while looking at the notation in a couple of months, and I guess that second group of eighths really does want to "undot" itself!  

 

Rob, thanks!
