Our first grandchild was born the day after Thanksgiving last year, so today she is celebrating her first Thanksgiving with us, something to be so thankful for. Before she had arrived I composed this tune for her in Double C tuning. Hope you enjoy and all have your own Happy Thanksgiving.

Just a simple frailing tune. I had most of this composed awhile back but finally got around to adding a final part so thought I’d record and post it. In Double C tuning (gCGCD).

Think it was the tempo and notes from around :19 to :30 that suggested the title. Whatever. In Double C.

Today our daughter-in-law gave birth to our fifth grandchild, Jadzia (it's a Polish name). The first four each has his/her own banjo tune composed by Grandpa so with this one Jadzia joins them. Can't head down to Philadelphia to see them in the hospital because of Covid restrictions, but hope to see them soon at home. In Double C.

This is in Double C like the one I posted last week (Ramble), but has a different feel. When I hear the tune playing in my mind I am thinking of my friend Laz laying down a soft, steady beat on his congas. Again, the playing style is 3 finger but Scruggs is the closest in the drop down menu for style, I wouldn't really call it that, just fingerstyle.
