I got this song from the Baptist Hymnal, and came up with a clawhammer arrangement. The beautiful melody is by William J. Kirkpatrick (1838-1921). Played by Bob Lanham on a Bart Reiter Bacophone Plus banjo. Recorded with an audio-technica AT2035 mic and a Zoom H4n recorder.

Learned from the fiddle playing of Art Stamper (who plays it MUCH faster), but the tune is originally from Walter McNew. Played by Bob Lanham on a 1923 Vega Tubaphone banjo.

Part of a series of recordings based on the tablature from the book "Clawhammer Banjo" by Miles Krassen. Note: Although in the modal chapter, this tab is NOT in modal tuning. It is in standard A tuning (or G tuning, capo on 2nd fret). For reference, listen to Henry Reed playing this tune on the fiddle. The Henry Reed recordings are available free online. Search for "Fiddle Tunes of the Old Frontier: The Henry Reed Collection", on the Library of Congress site. (Instrument: Bart Reiter Bacophone Plus)

Part of a series of recordings based on the tablature from the book "Clawhammer Banjo" by Miles Krassen. Note: This tab is in a special tuning, aEGBE, not the usual modal tuning. This version is meant to be accompaniment to support the fiddle, so the banjo does not play the actual melody, but it sounds very nice on it's own, anyway. (Instrument: Bart Reiter Round Peak.)

This is a very beautiful and very old hymn (AKA "The Sweet By and By"). It seems to fall right into place with double D tuning. I also posted tab for this song. Played by Bob Lanham on a Bart Reiter Round Peak open back banjo.
