Thanks to Richard and Ian, Camm's 'In Honeyland' is now in the Library. Here is my recording of it on a Cammeyer Vibrante Royal. It's a waltz with a melody over mainly block chords, not hard to play…Continue

Okay, this is a special banjo indeed. Even the blunt-eyed among you will notice that it has a Deering head and steel strings. I bought it knowing that, and having read Jody's opinion that these…Continue

In Honeyland - Cammeyer

Thanks to Richard and Ian, Camm's 'In Honeyland' is now in the Library. Here is my recording of it on a Cammeyer Vibrante Royal. It's a waltz with a melody over mainly block chords, not hard to play at all. I added the directed repeat - which is of the whole score - though some might think it unnecessary... IN HONEYLAND by Alfred Cammeyer played by Rob MacKillopMP3 attached below:See More

"All 4 pages are now in the Music Library. Now I'm intrigued. I'll have to give this waltz a go myself and see what previously unimagined (by me) chords with very long multi-fret stretches  Cammeyer has come up with this time. "

After a wander in the banjo wilderness, it is good to see that you found your way home. Welcome back Rob, from all of us, I am sure!

Hi Rob, nice to see you back on classic.

Hi Rob! Your videos on YT were one of the things which inspired me to take up Classic Banjo. I'm very glad to see that such an exceptional musician is among us once again.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Looking forward to seeing what you are all up to.

Aye, welcome back Rob. Glad to see you here!!

Hi Rob , thank you for the Buckley, the Baur looks good too. But must get some more ink before I start downloading that and your Mel Bay Book.

Here in Minnesota we have four classic ban joists who would like to develop an ensemble similar to yours. We are searching for arrangements that would include a. piccolo part in addition. any information would be greatly appreciated.. a golfing friend of mine whose wife is an Edinburgh native enjoyed hearing your group and was surprised to hear that Scots were into that sort of thing.

I'm glad to see you are still going strong.  Do you know Mark Temlett?  He is the great great grandson of William Temlett Snr and I would love to get in contact with him about a ukulele-banjo probably made by his famous ancestor.  I believe he is still alive and very interested in banjos.  In response to your comment about people de-tuning their banjos, I do it on some of mine because I am worried about putting too much stress on an instrument over 120 years old.

I'm glad you're impressed with Carrie Horgan.  So am I!  I've also been a big fan of yours for a very long time and always insist that anyone interested in classic banjo  should first listen to you before doing anything else (if they haven't done so already.

Many thanks for your reply, Rob. One of these days I'll find out who 'G W Temlett' was!

All the Best,

Jake.
