was deleting some old photos and videos from my cell phone and i found this recording i did a few months back. old horse and buggy is one of those tunes that i can never stop playing, it just goes and goes and goes and goes and really flows well in and out of other tunes - i love mixing it in with big sciota nowadays. always my go-to track when putting on the "art stamper - goodbye girls, ..." album.



i'm never quite sure how i want to play the A part (or which is technically correct), as i'm pretty sure i've heard it played both ways. i'm referring to the 4th measure and playing either a G chord or an E minor chord. each one sounds good, so i usually just let my muscle memory take over and see which one comes out.



must have had a brain-fart at the very end but that's okay - thanks for listening folks



note: tune is in G, but i have no idea what my banjo is tuned to. usually a bit lower when using the nylguts. thanks again to BHO user noah cline for restoring this fun little banjo

Terrific picking, Kevin.  You have a great foot-tapping style.

A jolly tune, well-played, Kevin. I get your tuning a whole step below open G.

thank you all very much - means a tremendous amount coming from you!

Very nice indeed. I play it in A on the fiddle--both standard & cross-tuned. Your banjo version is better than my banjo version.

Cool. Is it my imagination, or does this playing reflect a person with a cheerful and kind disposition?

A cheery tune indeed! We pretty much play your version  at most of our jams. Fun! Banjered
