Another great tune from the 70's. Bill is a great singer,songwriter and this is one of his best I think. I'm on comping banjo, guitar,baritone and tenor banjo parts and the lead banjo is played with bare fingers and a mute. Some reverbs, volume edits,panning and EQing. Done on Audition.

My funky blues version of the classic fiddle tune. This is for my contribution to the thread about this tune on the Sound-off forum. This ain't your mama's version, so be warned..lol The tune is also known as Black Mt Blues and my version definitely has the blues oozing in it. But it wouldn't have funked nearly as much without John Kuhn (AKA the 'Kidd') adding his percussion and bass lines! He also did all the mixing.

Messing around with some of the bossa backing tracks posted by Smitchtson. This is the Bossa Dorado..great tune and fun to play. My recording software was acting up during this session, so levels and reverb are not what I wanted. But what the hey....

Ok, heres a second take. I shorted the backing track to about 2:50 instead of the original 5 minutes (haha). I used a mute on the banjo this time, added some reveb and EQ'd to get more 'snap'.

An original composition about one of the highest elevation points in this part of Surry county,NC and near to my house. This is the first time its been recorded in a band context. I recorded it earlier on a fiddle/banjo duet album. This is with the Rain Check Band-Alan Conrad on Guitar, Dennis Severt on manolin,Jack Steelman on Bass and me on banjo/reso. Hope you like it.

Heres my 6 banjo version. I matched the tempo and the arrangement as closely as I could. But my jazzy solo in the middle is my own..good or bad,haha. I snuck in a hook riff from a 007 movie for laughs. This has rhythm banjo, two brushed banjos,banjo ornaments,banjo solo and bass banjo. I hope you like it.

Ok, I was going to come up with a crazy Reggae version of this, but decided to keep it straight to honor Ralph more, for such a great tune. But, being 'me', I tuned in open B tuning and threw in a couple of my twists on the B part...couldn't help myself...lol. No reverb, metronome or other stuff here...just me and the banjo
