We knows nothing much about the blues... we called it blues, we called it breakdowns, we called it blues and some people say it's square dances... We didn't know what it was; the achin'-hearted blues is slow, breakdowns is fast - Percy Thomas, who played in the Son Simms Four with Muddy Waters, interviewed by Paul Oliver, from Blues Off The Record

That is really nice, Frank. Really pretty singing, and your banjo really shines in that key with that approach. Sort of a different sort of cross-note tuning, sort of like the C and D cross each other. Thanks for that.
All best, John thanks! I'm just crazy about that banjo! for whatever reason, I didn't want to try too hard to harmonize the song. I love the way sam collins does what he does with the guitar, but felt that reproducing that on the banjo wouldn't be particularly satisfying to me.
In the end, I kinda let the tuning do the heavy lifting, so it would be fair to say that I didn't harmonize the song at all! Uncle Bud,
It was done by Matthias Lehmann. He's posted several other portraits on Tumblr; mostly of different musicians and all of them are just as cool. Here's a link to his page: http://mlehmann-portraits.tumblr.com/ Pages: [1] Go Up
