To Mr. Marc Dalmasso. I hope I did not butcher it too much. From Converse's "Green Book," 1865.

Don't make fun of my "tub." I know it's a relic from the dark ages of the banjo. ;-)

The only thing you are butching is the name of the national Hymn : " La Marseillaise " .Not a big deal .It 's may be Converse ' s fault .
The fretless notes are perfectly in tune ; bravo ; i know it is difficult to play in tune with the fretless

Very nice, Joel! I was wondering when someone would do this for Marc. I love it!

Thanks. Yep, I was keeping with the title Converse used. He uses it again with a different arrangement in his Analytical Banjo Method. James Buckley uses the same title in his 1860 book. So I wonder if it is a 19th century thing?
