Topic: where else on the interwebs...

[frankie]

thanks, gadaya. I have a handful of songs, the provenance of which is unknown to me...  PM me...

[frankie]

I just NOW realized that the melody to this is nearly identical to "I Wish I Was In Heaven Sitting Down."

duh.

[uncle bud]

Real nice. Fretless jealousy.

Also melodically very close to Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down. Thinking of the Frank Proffitt version.

[Kokomo O]

Another winner, Frankie.

I noticed some pretty serious looking mics in the picture, which makes me think to ask whether in addition to the vids you're recording, you're also laying down high quality audio tracks of all of these. I certainly hope so, and I hope you're going to make them available to us, whether via Bandcamp or otherwise.

[frankie]

thanks, guys.

I usually try to record using the mics, although a few got away from me - Twelve Gates To The City and Mother's Prayer among them...  kind of a bummer.  I'll probably do something for bandcamp, but the banjo is really pulling me right now, so I'm not sure how much interest there would be around here.

Banjo and CB content:



Sorry, Roi... couldn't help myself!

  I'm enjoying the banjo stuff!  I didn't realize there were Kalamazoo banjos til seeing this. 

[frankie]

I love that banjo!

It's great that you like the banjo stuff - thanks! I'm definitely getting the impression that for most of the people that have subscribed to my channel over the years, a lot of banjo is kinda like biting down on a cardamom pod...  everything was going so well and then.... BLAM.

Oh, well - guess they'd better strap in...  there are a couple more in there, I think! 

[uncle bud]

Yeah! I like. Surprising how well the tune works on banjo in some ways, although I find more and more that the freer/trancier/weirder the tune, the more readily it converts to banjo.

Devin, those Kalamazoos also came in 4-string and mandolin-banjo versions.

[nobocaster]

Kalamazoo mandolin-banjo.

  I shudder with desire.

[frankie]

I like the kalamazoos, but Weymann banjo-mandolins are pure weapons-grade!

[Mr.OMuck]

Lovely Frank!

[Lastfirstface]

I like the kalamazoos, but Weymann banjo-mandolins are pure weapons-grade!

Man, I've been dying to get my hands on one of the small pot ones.

[frankie]

those are pretty readily available on ebay...  I like the big 11" pot ones...  with a RESONATOR. 

Accountability.

[frankie]

still traveling around the banjo nation, but this is definitely on topic for weenie...
