Are you getting there Rabbit?
Took the day off for a little slacking and slept until noon. V came over and fun was had, including a walk with the dogs at Rock Bridge State Park, mostly bushwacking. Lots of downed and rotting logs. Light snow about midway through. Lovely sounds, birds a singin and creeks a burbling.
Latest banjo tablature, Are You Getting there Rabbit? - from Brad Leftwich's CD, Say Old Man. Tuning is interesting, FDGCD. In other words, G modal with the drone string tuned to F instead of the usual G. Brad plays it very fast on his CD. How fast, I don't know exactly. But it's hard for me to keep up. Plus he sings.
I first learned this tune from my old banjo teacher, Leela Grace, a wonderful clawhammer banjo player from HoHumbia, Mo., and recently went back to the tape to refresh my memory.
