Probably the only recorded version ever. It's live so not anywhere near perfect, but I thought I should still put it up. It's my latest 4 tuner piece. Players are: Paul van Vlodrop: mandolin, Peter Broekhuysen: guitar, Elly Beurskens (my better half): bass and me on the RB-1.

My (then, 2003) trio Skyland from the CD 'Moon over the Water' Leadsinger Theo passed 2 months after this recording.

My take on playing this one in in D from G-tuning. Including funny rhythmic 'jumps' Made this (slow) version for teaching purposes. Tab is in my Photos/Tabs section.

Here's my version of the lead break played without my tab at hand, so try to find out if I was true to my own version ;) You're hearing my old work horse, the Iida 233...

This is the ending of the break, played extra slowly, because not every melody note falls on the beat. (check the tab)

This goes together with the tab in my photo albums, sub Tabs. It's a tip to the hat for Bill Keith who IMO defined Little Sadie for banjo. I never learned his arrangement but this is how I heard the tune. I think Bill played it in D where my version is in G.

For comparison's sake, here is -slowed down- what Scruggs played. Check the tab in my tab section.

One note excerpt, banjo B note vs. vocal G. Repeated many times for clarity.
