From the notes to my 2000 "Banjo Stuff" CD. Now we come to the tune I call the CRAZY DUSTY MILLER. The "crazy" part of the name comes from me. When I first heard this tune, I heard it out of phase, which resulted in this musical joke. In aEADE; with apologies to Armin Barnett.

Banjo tuning - gDGDE. This is the first time I've made a setting that's 1/2 clawhammer and 1/2 finger picked. I practiced with the track on the Clyde Davenport Field Recorders’ Collective CD, FRC104 and it was compatible. However, the speed I’m playing this is only about 75-80% of the tempo that Clyde played on the fiddle. I can’t handle full speed yet.

"Jack of All Trades" is a tune I learned from Melvin Wine and has over the last five years, or so, become almost a standard in some of the jams that I play in. From the Vintage Wine cassette notes "This old tune comes from Melvin's father." I did try to find more information on the tune on line and from Drew Beisswenger, who wrote a Ph.D. thesis on Melvin, but we both came up blank. Banjo - gDGde
