Okay now, I just finished listening to a whole whack of versions of this tune, some of 'em by some pretty heavy hitters...and yours is one of my top two favourites that I can't choose between. Are you sure you haven't been secretly playin' the banjo in the closet for 30 years?

Truly superb playing, Ric. Has a fine, wholesome bounce to it that only comes from a picker who is completely at home with his instrument.

Thanks Barry! It's a really fun tune to play and the low tuned banjo makes it pop!
