The banjo is tuned aEAC#E, is derived from Burl Hammons' fiddling and has three Galax licks in the 1st part. The approach, to the two consecutive thumbs on the 5th string, happens in three different ways. The first is a roll across the strings, the second is a hammer on the 1st string to the 4th fret and the last is comes after a single strike on the 1st string.

Saturday, October 21,2023 Last Sunday, as I was preparing to sing with the youth at Gwynedd Friends Meeting, I asked the teacher what the lesson was for today. He told me that they were going to learn about Indigenous People's Day. I looked through the list of songs that I'd been singing with them, for the past 30 years or so and thought, that of all of them, "This Land is Your Land" would fit. However, I decided to change just a few words that were too specific to the European immigrants and make the song more about all who live on the earth, animals, plants, birds, insects and all other organisms. This land was made for them all to live on this finite planet Earth. Banjo: gCGce
