It's my great privilege to mess, beyond reason, with Hank's solo banjo instrumental of this old-time tune.

Hank Tilbury: banjo, original arrangement
Dan: percussion, guitars, bass, melodica, jaw harp, analog synth

Hank credits the tune to the clawhammer playing of Sidna Myers, field recorded in 1965. 
Dan credits his arrangement to overexposure to electronic/folk fusion in the mid 1990s.

Hank's piece can be heard on his terrific new album 'The Beast With Five Strings' which can be listened to and downloaded for free (or more) at https://hanklebury.bandcamp.com/album/the-beast-with-five-strings

Many thanks to Hank for continuing to encourage my worst tendencies.

Go ahead and download for free, and then pop on over to Hank's record and download that too.

Stuck on you (cover)

Vancouver Island is my home. You'll find a mixture of ambient field recordings and music (mostly old time banjo). Wearing headphones is recommended when listening to the ambient tracks. Cheers!
