Ha! Great Marcs think alike. I spent most of New Year's Day trying to get a decent video of myself playing this very tune. Not only could I not get thru it cleanly but I could not do it on either the regular banjo or the Cello banjo.

I suspect I spent way too much time trying to fix microphone problems (which turned out to be a bad cable plug) and too little time with a metronome. For me, this piece is difficult to find a good tempo after the slower "introduction". I find myself selecting a tempo for the A part that makes the B impossible to play cleanly.

Good work, Marc. Nicely done.

I'll try again to get a good recording of my version soon. I like it on the CB.

Well played Marc...I must revisit it myself..it's a tune that I haven't played for some time and you've inspired me to have a go...Steve.

THx ; transmission de pensée ? marc ;  i think you should let down the intro and practice the tune himself in a  " dance " rythm . Then , when you 'll have the tune in your fingers , back to the intro ; just what i 've done ( didn 't play very well the intro ) ; one more time , find the good fingerings & don 't hesitate to change it if necessary ( the 3rd part , more than others , needs rigor with the fingerings )
