Subject: RE: What Songs Have You Played a Lot Lately?
I'm just a student so I play the same things a lot. On banjo, it's WHISKEY BEFORE BREAKFAST, MISSISSIPPI SAWYER, BILLY IN THE LOWGROUND, and I'm learning BANJO TRAMP. Those are all in open C tuning.
Then with the "E" tuned down to "D" on the first string, I'm playing ANGELINE THE BAKER, NEEDLE CASE, and LIBERTY.
I'm just learning to pick guitar, and the songs I'm playing are THE WABASH CANNONBALL, THE RIGHTS OF MAN, BURY ME BENEATH THE WILLOW, and WAY DOWN TOWN.
There's this great song on banjo called "CRUEL WILLY" that I've been practicing. He is cruel to all the girls and gets it in the end.
By the way, as my OB doctor was examining my breasts today she asked if I play banjo. For a short second I puzzled until I realized she saw my banjo necklace charm. Whoa! Where'd that come from, I wondered? Banjo breasts! Haha. Margo
