Isn't that a Renaissance tune? I've played it on mando-family instruments, but not banjo. You make it sound quite lovely on gourd.
Great sound, great playing!
The tune seems pretty ubiquitous in the UK, attributed variously. The Irish tend to play it as a polka. "The Session" points to a British comic opera, "The Poor Soldier" from 1783. I scanned the original opera's sheet music (it's a song, "The Rose Tree") and although it is in Bb, it is identical to the modern interpretation.
Enjoyed the gourd! Well done!
