My hat's off to you, Liam. Around Clinch Mountain and in Happy Valley and a hundred miles further the music they play, at least as far back as the Carter Family, has that particular bluegrass feel. Yankees (everyone else) have to work hard to get 'it' right. You have got 'it' right. You are very lucky.
Now try Jimmy Martin (JD Crowe) "You Don't Know My Mind". Simple tune, but it's all in the right hand.

Hi Liam!, Great picking, think you may inspire me to get cracking on plenty of practice and hopefully be able to play like that some day.. Only bought a banjo just before xmas so I'm dying to get going..
