Mazeppa - Morley
Mazeppa, by Joe Morley -- one of his most challenging and virtuosic solos, which showcases some very difficult chromatic runs and thumb-index passages. Apparently, Old Joe played this piece to great success in the London Banjo Club where it was recieved enthusiastically, but as far as I know it has never been recorded -- until now!
There are three big mistakes in my performance, but I wear them like a badge of honour!
(Why this piece is called like a Ukrainian cossack hetman is beyond me).

A sword, now there's a chivalrous weapon... but a banjo? Weren't those banned by Geneva?

Another hard tune well played. Tarrant Bailey did record this, I've got the 78 somewhere in the archives.
