Alabama Echoes..1896..Paul Eno.

[Steve Harrison]

This is a great must try tune and one I'd not heard before. I couldn't locate a score and so I transposed it the hard way it using the YouTube video by Dorian Henry. Henry's arrangement is in F/Bb but I found that for banjo, G/C was better. His arrangement also divides the tune between piano and banjo, in particular the bass solo, and I wonder of that was Eno's intention. There is good use of triplets in the second and fourth parts (plus repeats) which I find a bit of a challenge for my 74 years old arthriticy fingers! There must be a banjo score somewhere out in Banjo Land. To the first part and its repeats, I've added slurs as it lends itself nicely to using hammer ons and pull offs and that's how I play it. The score and midi are in the library...Steve.
