i think i have finally de-toxed from all the caffeine i consumed to keep me going through camp and have actually set to work in at least some earnest on the mountain range of material presented to me at camp and as at camp am breaking it down into manageable chunks. i hope.

Mac's tab book is very tough, so I had to "dumb down" certain parts of those tunes. That'll keep me busy a while! After that, I might work on "Half Shaved" and "Peachbottom Creek" as taught by Rafe Stefanini. Life is good.

	Horace Weston's Great Minor Jig (1883) banjo and guitar Linked by Greg Adams 11 years ago: Here's a tune that is an extension of what we explore from the earlier eras of American popular music and minstrelsy.
