Subsequent to my interview with Stephen Wade for twofingerbanjo.com, he reached out to me about our recording a duet. Of course I said “yes!” Here are his remarkable arrangements of “Rickett’s Hornpipe” and “Fisher’s Hornpipe,” presented as an arresting medley. Stephen played his all-original 1910 Tubaphone 3 with a Rogers hide head that is seen in the interview. I’m keeping time on my Huss & Dalton guitar.
PS. I tried 4 times to add our audio recording to the Banjo Hangout MP3 Library. Each time, I got an error message. If anyone has any insight into how to rectify that, I will gladly submit the track to that collection one last time.

Truth be told, Stephen Wade is my favorite banjo player but also the most refreshing banjo player I have listened to. This recording, to me, is bursting with authenticity. I am not the person to give judgment on that, because I really don't know the full meaning and context of that, but more what I mean is that if his music is anything like his book, The Beautiful Music All Around Us, then I think the research that went into this medley must certainly be authentic. I know enough about him from his movie in Folkstreams "Catching the Music" to know he travelled far and wife to learn from the original people who played this music. If you have not watched this movie, I encourage you to do so. His releases are original and captivating. Not only can he play the music, but more importantly the music is in his soul and you can tell it is. The man is simply a genius.
