A2Bill — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:24:00 CST

this is not a song but a compairison of how different the Hammer and Axe hickory banjo's, that I made, sound. Im playing the banjo's so take into consideration that I have been playing about a year. I will get a friend who is a much better player to record them in the near future.

Jazzy Al — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:34:00 CST

Banjo Souljourn (an original tune)

Frank Eastes — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 01:29:00 CST

This is the first tune I ever wrote, probably 25 years ago or so. I was basically noodling around with a D major scale and came up with this rhythmic thing that I never really did anything with. About 4 or 5 years Kent Bilbry, ago a friend of mine in Knoxville, TN, bought an 8-track digital recorder and I spent a day or two over there laying down about 20 raw tunes, just banjo and a tick track. On this cut, I overdubbed a 2nd banjo track. All this was done in one take each. Kent then later added bass to and mixed down what I'm posting here. I thought I had posted it to BHO a few years ago but I guess not, so here it is now. ©Frank Eastes.

Casey & Bill

Earl McDonald maybe; who knows? — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:53:00 CST

learned from a recording of Earl McDonald's Original Louisville Jug Band (Atlanta, GA, March 30, 1927). I did notice that "Jugband" in not a Genre Tuning: aDADE Style of finger picking: anything I had to do to get those notes. A parody of the song "Steamboat Bill". The recording on Yazoo "Ruckus Juice & Chittlins - The Great Jug Bands" of "Casey Bill" (should have been "Casey & Bill", but the original producers must have missed the "&") made me fall in love with Earl McDonald's songs and jug band style. Eventually I discovered "Clifford Hayes & the Louisville Jug Bands", volumes 1, 2 and 3 on RST Records (JPCD-1501-2, JPCD-1502-2 and JPCD-1503-2) with Earl in quite a few different bands, besides the one under his own name, including: “Dixieland Jug Blowers” and “Whistler and His Jug Band” amongst others.

Slow Banjo/Guitar Blues

Jazzy Al — Mon, 9 Jan 2012 08:38:00 CST

I improvised this abstract banjo melody to match an eight-bar blues pattern played on guitar by my friend Bill Olson. Both of us just made this up as we played along. I want to move more into the blues/jazz realm but it takes a lot of practice.

Mary Did You Know

Lowery/Greene — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:02:00 CST

A version I thought up this week before Christmas. I used two banjo tracks, one rhythm banjo and one lead, using a homemade mute. I like the staccato effect on the banjos. John Kuhn (aka the Kidd) added some bass, synth string sounds and a conga. You can tell how much I love flamenco guitar, and it somehow wound up influencing this, in my banjo version. This is a great song and i hope my version doesn't detract from it.

Just a relaxing night strumming the banjola. You can hear the fluff in the second time around,... I was trying to flip the door shut because the Macaw was going to do the vocals... Play and toe the door shut?.... guess I'll have to practice that art a bit more.... Enjoy
