Another recording from Clifftop 2009, with my BHO pal Don Couchie. Don is picking banjo this time, clawhammer style, and I am picking my tubaphone in Open D tuning, three finger style.

Great! I thought OT was supposed to sound "ragged but right" - this just sounds right! (no ragged)

Cheers,

Nice Don! Was Don C playing that loaner banjo from Reed, the two banjos sound great.

Glenn asked: "Was Don C playing that loaner banjo from Reed..."

Yeah, that was the metal rim banjo. It sounded really nice.

I think if I'd been at Clifftop I wouldn't have gotten much done besides listen to you two. Fantastic yet again.
