This is a nice tune and so is your banjo tone. The tuning seems unusual--I've never seen it before, not even in Anita Kermode's on-line 5-String Banjo Tunings list. Were there other tunes in the book using that tuning?

Hi Janet, that tuning is one step up from the standard minstrel tuning. I think by the time this came out they had started tuning up a step. But most everything is in this tuning. It's the same relative tuning as gCGBD so it works out pretty easy.

Okay, got it, Dusty, thanks.
