I am trying to learn old banjo tunes and I have found old lyrics to be reasonably readily accessible but I need the music also. The other digital tradition at www.numachi.com/cgi-bin/rickheit/dtrad/lookup? is quite useful but I wonder if anyone has any other similar links with music for old folk or gospel music? I play 2-finger style and have difficulty with the clawhammer and 3-finger style tablature. Thanks for any information!

Doc K, If you have downloaded the music and have kept the files , go to download.com and have a firkle about in the music-midi-music programs, download 1 or 2 then play the music back directly, some of them are great for this, as whilst staying in the same key, you can slow the speeed (tempo) to play along, be warned tho , most midi banjo sounds do not sound like a banjo at all.
