Banjo Hangout Top 100 Other Songs

This one I recorded several years ago. I have a couple more that I did more recently; they're quite a bit longer, but if anyone goes for this type of thing, I'd upload them. I hope you'll go to the topic discussion if you have a comment: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/189094 Thanks, PauL http://www.banjocrazy.com/

I really like this tune/song. I first heard it sung by Jim Reeves in his silky style and loved playing it since. This is in G and maybe a little up tempo for a tragic tale but I like it that way for some reason..!

I thought that I'd have a go at the catchy tune Rabbit In A Log. Played in A. To hear a proper version go to Frailin's great site and hear how Singleton Street play it..!

Original 3-finger picking melody on Gold Tone BC-350+ in double C, capoed at 2nd fret. copyright 2010 all rights reserved

Original melody in Sawmill tuning, capo 2nd fret.

My attempt at the 60's classic tv series theme music played in Bb.

Just me and my wife picking.

My arrangement of this tune. D tuning capoed to E. I do like the bluesy stuff.

Not unlike my Swanee in G but a tad different.. I really like rattling this one off for some reason, usually mixed in with April Showers...!

Cajun fiddle tune

It's about time I posted some of my playing so here you go: one of my original tunes, Couchie's Point. I wrote it a goodly number of years ago and had even long forgotten it but a friend happened to have hit the record button at the time and, better yet, still had the tape.

This is a Tony Furtado tune that we do a lot different than he does. Still, he graciously agreed to let us upload it here. We'll be including it on our next cd., in the works. Johan Worst bass, darryl banjo and guitar. Mix, Jeff Gibbons.

This is the only studio recording of this song that I know of. "Foggy Mountain Landscape" appeared on my first personal CD "Good "Fa-Air" Side", in 1998. The song is 100% live with 0 edits of any kind. Band members are: John Hartford - banjo, Mike Compton - mandolin, Gene Libbea - acoustic bass, and Chris Sharp - guitar. Hope you enjoy it!

Judy Garland on speed in G.

This was written by and graciously posted by permission from Owen Duffy (Banjowen) thnx. I love this tune and it's a joy to play. In fact it's hard to stop. This is played on my Gold Tone HOAB with a calfskin head and nylon, monofiliment strings. That's right, monofiliment, it's not just for fishing anymore. Thnx Capt Mike. That's gGDBG capoed up two frets.

I came across Tom Adams "Lowlands of Holland" recently, and so I had the idea of composing a piece featuring the c-minor tuning. The piece is called 2 Worlds because you find stylistic elements of bluegrass and classical music. Basically my picking here is a kind of melodic style picking but there are also some Fleck like picking patterns in the backup for the violin. As usual both parts are played by myself. Tab and lead sheet of the violin is ready for email. Picked on the HUBER BANJO.

My composition Classical Breakdown features mainly scruggs style roll patterns and has a lot of harmony changes. The violin has some rhythmic patterns too, but mainly it plays long melodic lines over the banjo rolls. Picked on the HUBER BANJO.

a pretty tune written by my husband Mark Burhans and performed by the Hotpoint Stringband on the out-of-print CD Steppin' on Cords.

A different spin on an often done traditional filddle tune. This is off our upcoming debut CD titled 'Daydream'. Mixed by Scott Vestal, mastered by Randy LeRoy. Turbo/Adam Beshears on banjos, DJ Deacon on turntables/beat, Curtis Parks on synth, Aaron Soots on rhythm guitar/voice on intro, and William Gee on bass.

Scratchy robes, sprouting wings, organs, choirs and golden city streets not your thing either? Come out for a visit. ;-) Stu Mac Whyte Laydie with nylon strings and a touch of phaser ( a la Pete Warneck ) just for fun.
