As far as I know, it was Don Reno who introduced LRG to the 5-string banjo and it has been a staple of the swing repertoire ever since.

A Django inspired tune
I play guitar and banjo, KIDD played drums and bass and he mixed it.

I didn't set out to play Hotel California, but the chords are the same - so I will call this 'a tune reminiscent of Hotel California'.

Marrying up my two musical loves - banjo and Stratocaster!
And giving a nod to the 2 guitar greats - Albert Lee and Jerry Reed.

Part of the lute suite BWV 998. I have also seen this written in Eb but what do I know? I think we can blame the guitar players for putting it in D (but I'm grateful).

This is what I wanted it to sound like back in 2009 when I posted the original. Long overdue reworking of the tune, but I think I finally was able to play it the way I was hearing it. Whew! - I can let it go now!
