Tom, Rick, SandChannel, Don, Omeboy, thanks for your comments! I cut the tail of this song because I didn't like it. I should have redone the whole piece, but surely it would have turned out differently, because I can't read music and everything I play is improvised on the spot. Also, my memory is failing due to my age. As for the bass part, it is regularly audible using headphones or a stereo system, not the small speakers normally used with PCs or, worse, mobile phones.

Hi Marco, great playing here, I'm pretty sure that you are the best single string tenor banjo player here in Italy... number 1

Thank you Paolo! I modified my approach to a banjo: I don't  feel to play a banjo but rather a wind, while soloing. I started this approach after I heard you and Eddy.

Dear Marco
You are very kind: it’s an honor to be credited beside the Great Eddy!
But I remember thai you already played very well when we met for the first time....
And I’m not very good in single string. Playing....

Great swinging playing Marco--you are an excellent jazz'er. Love the gypsy jazz style rhythm section--it 'bounces' along!

Nice playing, Marco. To my ear it has an Elmer Snowden vibe. My problem with “Marie” is I can’t shake Leon Redbone’s voice in my head whenever I hear it, no matter how differently it is played.
