Music To Accompany A Rush To The Liquor Store Before Closing

This is a solo banjo tune I've been working on recently, in the Old Time Clawhammer style. It always brings thoughts of waking up at 6:45pm, hung over, and realizing you only have 15 minutes to get ready and walk a mile to the liquor store. I've been an Clawhammer banjo player for many years. In sunny months, I have been known to perform as a busker in hip and trendy shopping districts of Portland, OR including Hawthorne, NW 23rd, Saturday Market, and Pioneer Place for fun and profit.

Thanks all, I've grown into a real love affair with Old Time banjo music in recent years, particularly clawhammer style. Unlike Bluegrass style, it is much more versatile and can be used to play uptempo dance numbers and suicidally sad dirges..

Sweet. Reminiscent of Old Man Luedecke's sound.
