Pity about the sound quality, but once I got over that, the playing was very smooth and even - good job!
Cheers,
Laurence

For those who may not know, that tune is "Mule Skinner Blues."
Great job.

Excellent playing. I guess you used your Baldwin for that. It seems to have a mellower tone than today's banjos. I guess that is the same Baldwin company that used to make those great pianos.

Thanks everyone and yes that was on a Baldwin "D". Sorry about the recording quality, I'm saving up my pennies to try and buy a decent recorder.
Jody, yes I still work on the weekends so come by at anytime. Its always a pleasure to hear you play anything.

Kerry, that was some amazing picking; I think Bobby would have liked that. Thanks for the great post.

Kerry - Lumpy is right. i believe that bobby would have loved your version of
Mule Skinner Blues. plus you both played the song on a baldwin banjo - which
was his banjo of choice. he used the baldwin on so very many sessions.
i truly did like the way you played it - sounded fantastic!!
thank you for your amazing "Tribute to Bobby" -

Wow, thank you Mrs. Thompson for those kind words. Bobby was and still is my Hero. My biggest regret is that I never got to meet him personally. My good friend Buddy Blackmon has and told me what a great guy he was. Thanks again.

Great picking Kerry I enjoyed it very much. Bobby is my hero as well. BTW does Buddy still have his Ode?
