This is a short clip I recorded using Reaper. The banjo is my mahogany TN20 with a Select Hard Maple Bridge. I record short versions mainly because I can't play lead on any other instrument...LOL...multi-instrumentalist I am NOT. I can barely play the banjo.....

Very, very nice. Yes, thanks for sharing. Your banjo sounds pretty good to me!!
Do you know how did JHB end up with the same lyrics as Regular John Henry but totally different notes?

Thanks Rick. That's a great question concerning the two different JH versions. I'll have to do some research on that.
