Playing Since: 1975
Experience Level: Purty Good
Interests:
[Jamming] [Socializing]
Occupation: Cartoonist/illustrator
Gender: Male
Age: 62
My Instruments:
An open back Gold Tone CC Old-Time banjo.
An antique fretless banjo of unknown origin. Found on the wall of a barn in West Virginia, and I bought it on eBay. It's estimated to be from the mid- to late 1800's.
An old japanes bluegrass banjo I bought in 1975. I don't remember it's name, I have painted it over, but it sounded like some japanes motorbike. The name, that is. Not the banjo :-) It was probably Yamaha or something.
A banjo mandolin and a guitjo.
And apart from that some guitars. A Blueridge BR 143, Harmony parlor 1920, Republic parlor 2008, Washburn parlor 2008, Silvertone archtop 1960, Kentucky mandolin, old Landola mandolin from FInland, and a Gold Tone GM 6 six string guitar mandolin, a Lanikai Baritone Ukulele, a MacNally Strumstick, an autoharp, fiddle, piano, mountain dulcimer etc. etc.
Favorite Bands/Musicians:
Oh, too many to mention. Maybe later.
But Doc Watson certainly is one of them.
Though I play old time, my musical tastes are not limited to genres.
I listen to different kinds of folk music, classical, jazz, blues, cajun, zydico, bluegrass, western swing, rock, etc. etc.
Somebody said: There are two kinds of music, good and bad. It's not limited to genres.
And Tony Rice one of the greatest flatpicking guitarists has said, that one ought to listen to all kinds of music, because it will all help forming your musical identity. And I think that's true.

This is for you, fiddlerfaddler. It is my first attempt at recording anything with the fiddle, and I wouldn't have dared, if I couldn't hide a bit behind the mandolin and the guitar. Someday I will upload something with the banjo :-)
I have recorded it on four tracks. Guitar, song, mandolin and fiddle. It probably would have been better if I had tried it out 20 times, but I decided on first take on all four tracks. I mean, it IS old-time, it IS folk music, and I guess that the old man in the very funny lyrics didn't play any better sitting in under his leaking roof :-) So here it is with all the faults and errors.

This is an mp3 I have burrowed from Julie Duggans website, and then added a guitar track. Julie lives in USA and I live in Denmark. So this is kind of world music. Thanks Julie, you play it very well.

I have tried to play this in the arrangement of Doc Watson's. No comparison though. I play both tracks on a vintage Harmony parlor guitar from the 1920's, I bought from eBay in january.

I recently bought myself a cheap guitjo, out of curiosity. Now I am trying it out with some of the tunes I already play on the guitar.

Here I try to do a song I have heard on a recording with Uncle Dave Macon. Singing harmonies and using the same instruments as on the original recording.
Guitjo (or 6-string banjo) and two finger picking on a 5-string banjo. I'm not much of a picker, but i do it as best I can. Hope you like it.

Today I recorded this old song, on a pocket size 4 track digital recorder. Playing a new 4 string tenor guitar, mandolin and song in the left speaker. An old Harmony parlor guitar, song and mountain dulcimer in the right speaker. I did the singing together with the two guitars, so the instruments almost drowned out the song. Sorry. But I upload it anyway. After all it's old time, and homespun music. Hope you like it.

I recorded this yesterday. I play the banjo in two finger Thumb Lead style, and back it up on the guitar. And I sing. But you will notice that I presume. ;)

An old song, heard on a record with Memphis Jug Band. I think from the early thirties. I play guitar and manolin, and sing harmonies with myself.
The mandolin plays the harmonica part of the original recording.

25 years ago I made some recordings on a 4 track Fostex tape recorder. I recently found the tapes and digitized some of them. I was surprised that I could stand to listen to them. Hope you can as well. I play all instruments and sing both voices.

This is a song I have from an old 78' recording from the 20's with Riley Puckett. With the help from the good folks at OT Muic Forum Europe an Mudcat Cafe, I have managed to get the lyrics down. It's kinda funny. The composer is Bradley Kinkaid, I have been told.

An old murder ballad. Usually there are no reason in these ballads for the young man to kill the girl he loves. No motive at all. In this one there is a motive for a change. Not a good one but a motive anyway.

This is a song I've heard with John Hartford. I have recorded it here on a pocket size four-track digital recorder. BOSS MICRO BR. I play guitar, mandolin and banjo. And sing.
It goes back to 1847.

On this song I play an old Harmony parlor guitar from the 1920's. A new tenor guitar, a four string instrument tuned like a tenor banjo, and some mandolin solos. And I sing.

I heard this on an old recording with Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers. I found some lyrics to the song on the internet. Not the same as Gid Tanners version, but very funny indeed. I sing harmonies and play guitar and mandolin on this one.

This is another take on the song I posted recently. I have got a new recording device, a BOSS micro BR-80. The same recording but remastered and added an accoustic bass guitar and a guitar in Nashville tuning.

I posted a recording of this song some years ago. I played guitar, mandolin and sang two voices. You can find it above this one.
Now I have got a new recording device, a BOSS micro BR-80. And yesterday I tried my first experiment with it. I am not yet familiar with all the settings and stuff so this is how it fell out. It is guitar, mandolin and two voices like in the old version, but this time I have added banjo as well.

This is a new recording I made this evening of the old afro-american song Lynchburg Town. It was played at minstre shows, and as far as I know it has become part of the old time repetoire.

I got a mountain dulcimer just before Christmas, and in the evening the day I got it I recorded this one, accompanying myself on the guitar. I hadn't tried the instrument before, so please don't judge me too hard :-)

I have pulled the sound out of a video I recorded two and a half years ago. I play it somewhat two finger style. That is I pick the melody line with my thumb and strum with the index.

A sweet little waltz I have heard on a record with Boiled Buzzards. It ought to be guitar and harmonica, but I can't play harmonica, so I made it with an old Harmony parlor guitar, and a tenor guitar.
Again, no banjo, but the tenor guitar is a 4 stringed guitar, tuned like a tenor banjo, so.....

This a try at Shady Grove. I haven't actually played banjo for many years, I have mostly played guitar and mandolin, and the banjo I have played is three finger picking. I have for a long time wanted to learn clawhammer style, but it doesn't come easy to me. But here I try a teqnique I have used on the guitar in open tuning. I guess it's a little clawhammer and a lot of frailing, and yet none of these. So I guess I could call it frailing guitar style on banjo.
At least it sounds like old time mountain banjo of some sort.

This is an old gospel song. I'm not religious, but I love this song. I think it is very beautiful. It sounds great with some clawhammer added. No banjo here though. Sadly enough.

Here I play on my banjo for the first time in this forum, and I play the guitar too. This version of the well known song Tom Dooley, I have from A book and some recordings with one of my musical heroes, Doc Watson. He claims he have it from his grandmother, who as a child was a neighbor to the Dooley family. I like this much better, than the very popular version with the Kingston Trio. I think that was ruined (for me at least), because a danish pop quartet had a hit on danish radio with it in the late 50's, early 60's. I can't stand to listen to it today. But this one with Doc I love. Hope I haven't ruined it for you people :-)
I bought the banjo in the middle of the 70's, and used the fingerpicking I had played for a long time on the guitar. I don't know if it is real Scruggs style. I have tried to learn the clawhammer style, but find it very hard to learn. So I stick to my selftought three finger picking.

I have made a new recording of this tune. Rythm guitar on one track and lead on another. Actually I would delete the older one I have posted here, but you folks have been so nice to rate it and commend it, so...You know. I appreciate that, but I think this new one is better.
