Somewhere in Dixie
The Greater Gettysburg Banjo Society (i.e., Larry Marschall and Bob Winans) gave a memorial concert for a deceased colleague, Mike McTighe, in the spring of 1993. In this clip, we (Bob plays lead and Larry second banjo) play "Somewhere in Dixie," a 1917 ragtime piece composed for classic finger-style banjo by George L. Lansing. The audio of the video was recorded at a very low level, so you will need to put your volume controls up to the max. With apologies to Hezekiah Urastus Anderton's more "authentic" rendition.

It's great to hear the second part to this. Classic banjo playing is a lonely thing out here in Kansas.

Thanks for the compliment, Rob; coming from you it is much appreciated.
Carl, what you hear on the video is not "the" second, that is, not a published second part for "Somewhere in Dixie." My partner in crime, Larry Marschall, though a brilliant astronomer and physicist and a far better musician than I am, does not read music. I provided him with a chord chart for the piece, and what you hear comes from his interpretation of that, using his good ears.
Having rediscovered a couple of video tapes of concerts we did in the '90s, I hope to post other classic banjo duets we performed, when I get them digitized.
