	THE BOSCO STOMP (LE STOMP DU BOSCO) Linked by Marc Nerenberg 12 years ago: This is my arrangement of The Bosco Stomp that was published some 30 years ago in Ken Perlman's "Clawhammer Style Banjo" book.
	Love Minus Zero / No Limit Linked by Marc Nerenberg 12 years ago: A clawhammer version of this Bob Dylan song.
	MALAIKA - a Swahili love song Linked by Marc Nerenberg 12 years ago: A Swahili love song from Tanzania, with my English translation of the words.
	HOBO'S LULLABY (Live - with violin & accordion) Linked by Marc Nerenberg 12 years ago: An impromptu arrangement with two young musicians who had never heard the song before I played it with them sitting on stage and joining in.
