An up-tempo original also from my CD, Some 'o Mine and Some I Like. I've performed it on festivals and it's definitely a proven crowd pleaser. It's not complicated to play so it's quite suitable even for beginners to get into it on short order. The tab for it is included with the CD but it's also posted on my website (haruteq.com/t-bvorig.htm). I like playing this tune a lot and everyone is quite welcome to record and/or perform it. Check the URL I just mentioned if you'd like to add it to your own repertoire as the simple conditions aren't lawyered up with copyright crap.
Watch the video where I play it slowly to show the fingering:

The first 3 finger style tune I wrote back in 1980. I still get into it every now and then as I like playing it. Too bad this kinda tune doesn't sound much when you play it as a solo, you really need the other instruments to make it sound the way it should. The tab for it is on my website.

A traditional Austrian folk song I learned from my cousin who plays it on the zither (played on my Stelling Bellflower with a two footed bridge).

I wrote this one in May 2005 and this recording is straight from the hip to see what the whole tune would sound like after all the pieces dared each other into place. I didn't think I'd kept this take and I still don't know what happened to the audio as it sounds really muffled. Oh well, just pretend it was recorded a la Folkways somewhere on a porch in the Ozarks instead of Suburbia, Ontario.
I better re-record it for my upcoming CD one of these days but, considering it's only a rough draft, this take is kind of a priceless personal momento.

A public domain tune with a gorgeous melody by A.L. Camp. Sez who you can't clawhammer a Stelling...

I love this traditional tune, nice and mellow and you can keep it going for hours. Played on a homebrew openback with a steel macrame hoop for a tone ring.

Verdi's Nabucco, or the slave choir. Not yer typical banjo tune but it was fun to do. Kinda hard to play stuff this slow, especially as a solo, and make the notes ring as the microphone swallowed a lot of the sustain but what the hay. It's a gorgeous melody and I enjoy playing it. The original score is in F# but it sounds pretty cool in C on the banjo.

To me this is one of the most beautiful Christmas melodies ever.

One of the tracks on my first CD, Some 'o Mine and Some I Like. I wrote it back in the 80's on some December night when the weather was frightful alright. I'm kinda proud of this one and I'm looking forward to hearing somebody play it on the fidlle someday. The tabs of all tracks are included with the CD and the tab for this tune is posted on my website, www.haruteq.com, as well, just poke around and you'll find it. If you want to add this tune to your repertoire you'll love the no-frill copyright conditions.
Here's the link to it on YouTube where I play it slowly and show the fingering: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsbadv0ZtMU
