Boston Burglar
October 20, 2026From the Harry and Jean West 1950's recording. I went with an old-time style of 3-finger picking and zeroed in on his vocals for a melody. The song also goes by Louisville Burglar.

La Bastringue / Greeg's Favorite (TOTW)

Pretty Little Girl
October 4, 2026As played by the banjo of North Carolina's Fred Cockerham, he of course plays it faster and with even more slides, but it's as close to Round Peak as I've gotten by trying to arrange such a tune. This one has five parts!

Sweet Nora Lee
September 12, 2026Art Rosenbaum included Sweet Nora Lee in an album and a book subsequently tabbed. He played it in Seeger's up-picking style, but I arranged it for clawhammer here. It's a sweet song with some lyrics, too.

West Virginia Hornpipe
September 7, 2026Here's a "barn burner" as played by WV fiddler Clark Kessinger, but more like a rocking chair when I play it. It sure has a range, so I turned to the cello banjo and tuned it just three steps lower than standard to play an A tune…

Old Blue Tick
August 22, 2026As played by August Merrill, Missouri fiddler, and collected by R.P. Christeson. Missouri tunes are often notey, and I suspect with more familiarity, I'd want to simplify this more for banjo ease.
