Thanks a bunch!  Love the old tunes. 

I really like your guitar version of Muskrat Ramble. It is a favorite of mine--so much so that I learned it in open G on banjo, played Travis style (sort of).

Super job, Lew! That works great on the banjo. 

chuckv97 Thanks! Back about 30 years ago, I spent too much time learning old standards on open G guitar. I decided they all sounded, in the way I was picking them, about the same and so boring as a group. I quit doing these on guitar. Later I transferred that semi-Travis guitar picking to banjo and kept only this one. I've added Pallet On Your Floor which also works well. I use the 5th string some on Pallet.

Lew H Sounds real fine, Lew. I rarely hear anyone play a banjo like that other than Eddie Adcock. It works great.

Yep. He's one of my favorite bluegrass pickers because of his edgy funky picking.

I like that a lot Chuck - listened twice!
