Part of a series of recordings based on the tablature from the book "Clawhammer Banjo" by Miles Krassen. Uses classical C tuning, raised a whole step to D. I also recommend listening to the excellent recording of Forked Deer by Charlie Bowman and his Brothers. (Instrument: Bart Reiter Round Peak)

Merry Christmas! Played by Bob Lanham, in Gm tuning (gDGBbD) on a Bart Reiter Bacophone Plus banjo. My version began with the simple one in "The Banjo Player's Songbook" by Tim Jumper, and then adding my own embellishments.
