magic tune

tune by Justin Haynes from our duo cd,  not drowning ...waving
the title is from a car advertisement. 
the lyric is about getting over yourself...a very breezy feeling of  being on the road.  
Justin and I toured the East Coast in his parent's old station wagon, with my dog Fanny Mae. Good good times. 

05 Lasting Beauty

Beautiful music from the early 20th century for the plectrum and tenor banjos, before jazz took over. A mixture of early jazz and blues, classical and ragtime. Much of it very mellow, and not what you might expect from a banjo.
