After hearing this posted a while back at the Banjo Hangout I've been wanted to learn it. I finally worked it out a few days ago, so here is "Green Corn" from Phil. Rice's 1859 method. I'm playing on a fretless tackhead I made earlier this year which is tuned to dGDF#A and strung with nylagut strings.

Well, maybe this is stroke style. I've been thinking of this song since I got Sara Gray's recent CD. It is fun to play.

Get Up in the Morning

My first tune from Bob Flesher's "Minstrel Banjo Stroke Style" tutor. Based on Briggs 1855. The original verses are fairly embarrasing, so I have taken the first one, added one that I knew from my youth from a Pete Seeger childrens record, and a third from Dan Gellert's wonderful version of "Jim Crack Corn". For some unknown reason I sing "Wake up in the morning" instead of "get up".

My second tune from Bob Fleshers book (his tune number 4). The tuning is probably a bit sharp from the notes given above. This is the first recording in which I've faked an ending by doing a fade out. It was the best of several takes except for the ending.

Number 22 in Fleshers book. A stately tune, I think.
