Ohmygosh!  Stupendous stuff, Chris!  My jaw drops at the technicality of it all: those impossible stretches, every note clear as a bell, remembering that a 12" Weaver has wider than usual fret distances, plus an arrangement that reflects almost perfectly the orchestral arrangement but brings out the unique contribution that a banjo can make.  Is there any more background information that goes with this, Russ?  (I hadn't realised that Chris's front room was so lavishly furnished.)
