JESSE POLKA BANJO TAB AND MP3
JESSE POLKA BANJO TAB AND MP3 – Reportedly this was Pancho Villa’s marching song titled “Jesusita En Chihuahua.” When a polka is called for in a contest, this one gets played often. The arrangement has several parts ranging through the keys of G, C, and D. Here they are all played out of the open G tuning.

BILLY IN THE LOWGROUND BANJO TAB AND MP3
BILLY IN THE LOWGROUND BANJO TAB AND MP3 – This is a challenging but beautiful tune in the key of C. In the Texas tradition unlike the Eastern or Bluegrass playing, both parts follow the same progression where an F chord is introduced in the B section in other traditions.

DURANG’S HORNPIPE BANJO TAB AND MP3
DURANG’S HORNPIPE BANJO TAB AND MP3 – This is my favorite fiddle tune recording of mine. Just love it. It’s a great workout for the melodic style in the key of D. I mistakenly slipped in an extra beat and the end of one variation. It is not reflected in the tab. I was momentarily overtaken by the passion of performance.

DAPPLE PATTI CD
DAPPLE PATTI CD – Adam Granger and I have been playing dates together for many years. Dapple Patti is a live recording from 2011 concerts of ours in Minneapolis, Mn. and Madison, Wi. I really love playing music with Adam and the duo format gives me plenty of opportunity to stretch out and play in ways that are somewhat new to me. I love all 17 cuts and the feel of the recording. Hope you do too.
