Sousa arranged for banjo...

Hi gang,

I found a site yesterday that has some interesting sheet music...esp. a pile of Sousa marches in their original published banjo arrangements. Check it out!

It appears that several have both solo and duet versions. If I ever get my TAB program back up and running, I'm going to get "King Cotton" up and running...

Ah...Jody very kindly pointed out an error in my "fretboard map" file. I've fixed it and here's "revision A".

Marc D: thanks for the comments on the new 'jo and the pic of Eric's old Morrison ... They are pretty instruments and I do like the sound ... One of the guys at Bernunzio described the sound as dark and rich ... (As opposed to the other banjo I was considering getting that he described as bright and snappy). I'm a dark and rich guy every time ... :)
