Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
As long as I can still hold a banjo in my tired old hands, if I can still play this tune, I will be okay with it. This is the tune that got me hooked on picking, and it is still the best banjo tune there is, and I'm not afraid to say so. This is our take on it, Ed Britt and me, and we hope you like it. I'm playing my new old Ode, and Ed is picking his Ome, and we are both in open G tuning. Recorded on my Tascam DR-1, no fancy microphones, nothing.

Well done, to say the least. You guys are just too damn good. Remind me never to take my banjo out in your presence!

Great playing you two. The two banjos work really well together. To me, what singles this out is the tempo. So many people play CC like they really want to be the first past the post. Nice to hear people playing it with some sensitivity and skill.
