Here's a take on my tune, Enjoy the Ride.
Cello banjos are tuned an octave apart.
The banjola is a 5-course cittern, strung as a 5-string banjola.
Tuning is f Bb F Bb C - two frets below Double C.

A Sunday drive, so pretty and relaxing. I hear a string orchestra with instruments as high as a flute and low as a tuba. The pitch contrast adds tremendously to this version.

Thank you very much! The two of you must have been listening on a good system to pick up on the "hidden" messages.

Great work here Paul! Your banjo work and composition skills are solid as always!
Also, this one sounds pretty fiddle-tuney - I could see it making its way around jam circles!

Another enjoyable iteration!

Very nice and easy sounds, like Irish-baroque to my ear! But it doesn't sound easy to play.

Fabulous! You sound truly inspired these days Paul - can I borrow some of that?

Thanks, Laurence, your feedback means a lot to me - as does the inspiration we've shared for a long time.
