Played in the key of F# minor (I think) out of A tuning (G tuning up one step). The drones are tuned to A and F# (a minor third inverted). This is to demonstrate how the Double Drone Banjola allows flexibility in choosing the drone sound. One is open, the other capoed at the 3rd fret but tuned down a half step (could be capoed at the 2nd fret, but there is no spike there).

This is a demo of the Night Sky banjo, accompanying my vocal of this great Stephen C. Foster tune. I apologize for the roughness of both the playing and singing. I was recorded on a Monday morning, need I say more?

Sound demo of the whaling banjo (oak pot and neck) with a wash rag rolled up and stuffed in as a mute. I think this improves the sound tremendously.

This is, I suppose, the easiest song I know, being all in first position. It's a great people pleaser when I play at Old Deseret, because it's finally something they recognize.
