The song that got me started on OT banjo 35 years ago...don't play it too often any more, but still one of my favorites...

Thanks for posting this. I have the High Atmosphere cd and have not played it for a while, now I will again. I remember when I first heard this cd I thought to myself ..."well maybe I can sing...if they get away with it so can I". Anyhow really enjoyed your versions!

Christine-thanks, sure glad you liked the tune! I heard "High Atmosphere" and still decided not to sing...that's how bad my voice is! Take care...

That's a great tune, and well played! I've only been playing since September last year and though I started off with bluegrass, I'm really drawn to clawhammer. Do you by any chance have the tabs for Ramblin' Hobo? I'd love to learn it. It might make another convert! best regards, Dan.

Big Dan,
Thanks for the comments, glad you liked the tune. The tabs are posted in the forum topic page (you can right click and print) as well as on my pictures section on my home page (again, you can expand the .jpg, right click & print). I started out with BG as well, but love the ryhthm and "atmosphere" of the OT, crooked tunes, so it didn't take me long to decide which direction to go...good luck on your banjo journey...
Take care...
RG

I really like your version and the sound of your banjo. It is brittle.

Reminds me of "Last Chance." Very beautiful tune, well played.

Boyd, thanks, I play it on my Bacon FF, usually tune down 1/2 step but liked the sound of this for "Hobo" in fCFCD. Hope all is well!

High atmosphere indeed! Similar to gaither Carlton's, but with your own distinct stamp. I agree with Boyd about the sound of your banjo. It's even a bit "edgy" like Mr. Carlton's.

Don, I love Mr. Carlton's playing, both banjo & fiddle, really wish someone would release all of his recordings commercially...
