I've been trying to wear this tune out as of late. Can't do it, it's fun to play. Tuned to gCGCD.

I learned this tune from "The Banjo Players Songbook" by Tim Jumper. There are various lyrics as found in the book by Tim Jumper and from Woodie Guthrie. Personally, I like the Guthrie lyrics. Tuning: gDGA#D, 2nd string is tuned to match the 3rd string at the 3rd fret

I learned this tune from "Songs for the American 5-String Banjo", by Erik Darling. As a result of playing this one a fair bit, I've made some changes as compared to the tab. Tuning: gDGBD

This title relates to a event where my young daughter Megan put a quarter in my shoe so that I would have some money in case I needed it.

Sally Goodin, I enjoy playing this tune. Careful, you might find yourself playing it for 10 minutes straight like I've done a few times.

G tuning with capo at 2nd fret = aEAC#E My search of the Jukebox places my posting of this song as number 29. It's a fun one for me to play . . . seems others like to play it as well.

I came up with this song today. My daughter came up with the name. Tuning is gCGCD. I must be in the mood for slides, lots of them in this one.

For your review, "The Eighth of January". Played in clawhammer style. I learned it from tab found in "Melodic Clawhammer Banjo" by Ken Perlman, Oak Publications. Differing from the tab, I'm tuned 1/2 step below double C, f#BF#BC#

Walking in the Parlor, gCGCD capo at 2nd fret I'm playing two versions I found. My inspiration for playing this was hearing it on the Banjo Gathering CD as played by Scott Ainsley. This led me to the Hammons' family CD where I heard Lee Hammons playing it. I'm not up to their standards. But I stiil enjoy playing this song.
