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…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

"Good. You can play along to my recording of the first part! Might do so myself. "
"An amazing stroke of luck, this fell out of a copy of 'Jolly Girls' whilst I was lighting the fire this morning."
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...

"Good man!"
"DONE
Enjoy!
Thanks Richard"
"Ian, you have placed my draft of La Caresse in the Library. Could you please replace it with Richard's very clear original three-page score?
Thanks for uploading In Honeyland!"
"Thanks Jodie, you won't be disappointed."
"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. "
"Thank you Jody, It's some time since I dithered with the zither banjo but it would be good to see and play 'In Honeyland' once more. I played some duets with Dougie Rogers at the Reading Banjo Festival which at the time was held in a…"
"Thanks, Jody. Looking forward to that one too. "
"All pages of In Honeyland have been sent to The Really Nice Man for resizing and adding to the library here. All page should appear in the library soon."
"Richard, I have a single page of the banjo part which I tried uploading here but the staff and notes are so enormous it's ridiculous. I also have 3 pages of banjo with piano. Let me know please if you want that as well. I can email the…"
"Great price for a decent banjo. "
"Many thanks, Richard. I’ll download that later, and give it careful scrutiny. Appreciated!"

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.
