Classical banjo and fingerstyle guitar arrangement of the Stephen Foster tune.

Banjo tuning is gCGCD; Guitar is in standard tuning, capo on V. Recorded with two Samson C02 pencil condensers and a Behringer B1.

Gorgeous. Are there some banjo overdubs in there as well?

Really pretty, thank you. Are those harmonics on the guitar or the banjo?

Is the flash player messed up on this song for anyone else? It gives the song one second of time to every several. Not a big deal, just wondering.

Wow, I've never heard this song sound so damn good!

(yea, Corduroy--but I wouldn't have noticed without your mentioning it!)

Beautiful!

Jofus - the banjo was all done in one take/one track, as was the guitar.
Corduroy - The harmonics you hear at the end are on the banjo; the guitar is being brushed softly with the pads of my first three fingers.

All - thanks for the kind words.

Gives me the shivers, it does. You've turned what was for me a fairly nice but sorta boring classic tune into a truly gorgeous piece of music.

That is the slowest banjo tune I've ever enjoyed.

Thanks!

I'm starting to go back and pick through these older music posts of yours after listening to your most recent banjo piece, "Chiefest Microns." I'm glad I did; you're really fantastic, thanks for sharing your music.
