Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs

This is another unusual tune from our Geezer Hill jam with Ralph Roberts. Ralph called this tune Sugar Hill, but it doesn't bear any resemblance to the tune I know by that name. It's a sprightly, bouncing little tune that sounds more like a distant cousin to Cripple Creek, one that Ralph fiddles with a lot of playfulness. Don Couchie is playing rhythm guitar, and I am three finger picking in open G tuning.

BHO member Dan Hayes reminded me of this old time number. My clawhammer attempt at it-I played along with Bob Carlin's recording of it on "Fiddle Tunes For Clawhammer Banjo" a bunch of times until I got it-not just like Bob but I think there's some of his stuff in here...

Just tooling around in the gee-rodge.

For some reason I've never liked this song until last night but last night it finally clicked with me! Really enjoying playing this one right now.

Nice evening with a cigar and some glasses of wine. Love that Irish licks on banjo.

Nice evening with a cigar and some glasses of wine. Wanna dig on the blues banjo I love these days (R.L.Burnside, Dink Roberts).

Based on the playing of Missouri fiddler Earl Collins. He moved to Southern California and I got to meet and jam with him at my guitar teacher's house in the 70's.
