Subject: RE: Singing with just a banjo
Martin,
I've heard John Hartford play solo banjo and sing the American Civil War-era chestnut 'Lorena.' His voice style was delicate, and the banjo playing ditto, and it was very melodic without being melodramatic. I think this one is on 'Songs of the Civil War,' so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
Obviously, this is not an example of audience participation.
Regards,
