CEB-4 Gold Tone Cello Banjo
Please listen in earphones to get a good representation of what this instrument puts out. I was amazed to find out, when I was changing the strings, that it tunes all the way down here.

Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, on the bottom of the Grand Canyon, listening to the dynasours clogging and playing their own peculiar style of clawhammer (these babies have got some claws in 'em).
We're down here in the sonic spectrum, gliding along in double low E. Man, the world is slower down here.

I hope you enjoy this original work-in-progress. The symbolism behind the name, Blue Train Rising, is a person whose heart is broken, getting back on the track of life, for the journey to the northern part of his soul.

Duet with two 4-string Gold Tone CEB-4 cello banjos with one tuned GDAE (Irish tenor, an octave lower than fiddle) and the other tuned GDAE (two (!) octaves below fiddle. Listen in headphones to hear what these babies can do.

Here is a demonstration of some of the possible tuning ranges of the 4-string cello banjo. I'm playing a Gold Tone CEB-4.
Irish tenor/octave mandolin tuning: GDAE
Cello tuning: CGDA
Double Octave: GDAE (one octave lower than Irish tenor)
Cycling through, in the above order, I play a major scale before Cooley's Reel, followed by Cluck Old Hen. The whole theatrical routine takes 6.5 minutes. I'd be very interested in hearing your response.

One of my original guitar compositions with Carla on tenor recorder. There's a bit of banjo and other stringed things in the mix. It's in DADGAD tuning.

I heard this fiddle tune in the early 60s on The New New Lost City Ramblers album Gone to the Country. It's not quite the way they play it, just how it decided to roll out of my banjo. You can hear a sample of their version and the other album tracks at http://www.smithsonianglobalsound.org/trackdetail.aspx?itemid=6809

This little melody came to me this evening as my soul was needing some nourishment.
5-string cello banjo - tuned octave Double C, using a bone frailing pick.
Tomorrow I'll try some overdubbing.

Hello John D, Frosty Morning, Lonesome John.
Hello John D is one I heard on the New Lost City Ramblers, Gone to the Country, album back in 62. Frosty Morning I learned out of the Miles Krassen book. Lonesome John is a predecessor of Clinch Mtn Bkstep, without the hicup.

Sitar, an instrument used in North Indian classical music that I've been playing for 43 years. I studied with two great players: Dr. Shyam Yodh, in Cambridge, Massachusetts; and Ustad Rais Khan in Bombay, India. This is an improvisation in Raga Kafi.

This is actually a Greek (I think) tune (although not by this hokey name) I heard a long time ago. I like to think that all good tunes somehow extend beyond the bounds of time and space.
Hope you enjoy.

One of prettiest and haunting melodies. I'm playing it as an instrumental; interpreted apart from the sad story portrayed in the lyrics of the song.
5-string Cello Banjo, tuned ADADE.
I'm playing it in double D, instead of the traditional Willie Moore tuning (GDGAD).
