Finished composing this tune recently so I thought I’d post it. I added a second banjo track as backup and also a guitar track to get a little base going. Still trying to figure out Audacity, mixing, all of that stuff so it’s not as clear as I’d hoped. In Standard G tuning (gDGBD)

Yesterday our daughter-in-law gave birth to our third grandchild, Evan. Charles Shultz’s Linus character famously posited “The way I see it, as soon as a baby is born, he should be issued a banjo”. That may not be practical but I see no reason why a baby can’t have his/her own banjo tune. This one might be a bit to sprightly for a lullaby but I’m sure Evan won’t mind. In Double C.
