After loosing this years banjo competition I've set my sights to next years song selection.
If there are any judges out there, what would you think of a slow song being played in a banjo competition?
I was thinking of Ashokan Farewell as tabed by Ian Perry in the July '04 issue of BNL.
Feedback please!

Winnie Winston told me he watched someone playing at a banjo contest. He said they played Reubens Train, as slow as slow can be, but played really clearly with good timing. They won

Ashokan Farewell is a great song. I'm no judge, but I like the tune.
