This is my contribution to the TOTW for 6/26/10, just a week late. I am playing my 64 Ode, without fingerpicks. This is the Bill Stepp tune in A mixolydian, not the Luther Strong tune in D of the same name. The banjo is tuned gDGAD, capoed on the second fret. I just learned this a few weeks ago from Stephen Bland, a fine fiddle and banjo player from Rochester, New York, at the Black Creek Fiddler's Reunion. I recorded it on my Tascam DR-1.

Wow Don that is a GREAT tune. The ODE sounds beautiful, and masterfully played. So what happened to your picks? Did you lose them?

Beautiful, and I'm grateful that the ways of the world are beautiful here, because they're not always so kind or easy to handle.
