Beautiful, John.
An unusual and difficult tune to "pull off" on a banjo -- but wonderfully done. (And you can hit the high notes a lott better than I can sing them!)
I enjoy ALL of your work.
Best-
Ed Britt

Thanks...I'd rather play it than sing it any day. That is for sure.

Superb! I loved the ringing note right after "the land of the free", and the mellow ending. Great stuff!

This is just lovely. I heard it in July and keep thinking about how sensitively you've played such a difficult song. I'd love to try my hand at this one. What tuning are you in? (Still a beginner here... kind of "re-beginning") Thanks!
