Hi JohnHardy,

I like this one. It suits your voice, IMO. You probably want to smooth out those banjo riffs a bit more, but who am I to criticize, my fingers just get stuck in those itty-bitty strings whenever I attempt banjer picking.  :P

cool thanks, does it sound like I am doing something real different with my voice than I do on the guitar?

I dunno, maybe it's the key or the range of the melody or something. There's some songs that I find sit well with my (limited) voice range, others that don't work for one reason or another.

It occurs to me that the banjo accompaniment is much more 'busy' than the guitar previously, and sets off the long notes better as a result.
