Capo'd up to C so that I can use normal G, D and C shapes! First recorded attempts at singing and playing a banjo break in same song (this one plus Walls of Time). Also first attempts at working out the break for a song by ear rather than learning it from tab!

Crikey Maria, that was excellent, great balance between your voice and clear picking. Congratulations.......not many hangouters have the nerve to sing too. Regards....Peter V.

Maria what a lovely voice you have! I have trouble just breathing in and out when picking never mind singing and sounding good. Very nice.

Cheers for that Jane {blush}. I'm more confident of the singing than the banjo picking, but then the picking is a lot more difficult...I know I have a long way to go but I've enjoyed feeling that a bit of progress has been made recently.
Cheers to Edwin and Ian too.
