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.)

This is amazing. I was wondering if you have a copy of your arrangement? I would love to learn this!
