Another one I learned from my dad, BHO member frankwing. Even though it was written in the early 1500s, he thought it made a good banjo tune. I tried to keep all of his ideas, but also make it work with a bowed double bass. Unlike Bill Keith's version in C, with the widely voiced, torture chords, this one's in the handy key of G, with more typical banjo chords. However, the entire first section is played with false harmonics, a form of stunt playing I learned from my dad, requiring steady, precisely coordinated hands, and great mental focus, in order to play more than just a few notes in a row, without messing up.
