On my website at http://zeppmusic.com/MP3/index.html#10 you will find at this writing 22 recordings of Shady Grove. I started this when a customer asked me to record for him a couple of banjos in which he was interested. Later, another customer had a similar request, so I added a few more banjos.

Then, I began to realize that I was building a audible collection of tone rings, pot sizes, heads, etc., so I kept adding interesting banjos.

Unfortunately, owing to the number already recorded and sold, I think I'm sorta stuck playing Shady Grove as a demo piece for any new instrument now (though I guess I could always do more than one tune!).

So anyway, there it is--if you think it's boring hearing the same tune over and over, you should try playing it the same way over and over...
