As played by Tennessee fiddler John Sharp, I wouldn&#39t have know I have Lake Erie on a CD by Bruce Molsky and Bob Carlin hiding under &#34John Sharp Medley.&#34 I&#39m one who appreciates detailed liner notes, but they weren&#39t here. So thanks to Tune of the Week and Mark Gentry this week!

Art Rosenbaum included Sweet Nora Lee in an album and a book subsequently tabbed. He played it in Seeger&#39s up-picking style, but I arranged it for clawhammer here. It&#39s a sweet song with some lyrics, too.

Here&#39s a &#34barn burner&#34 as played by WV fiddler Clark Kessinger, but more like a rocking chair when I play it. It sure has a range, so I turned to the cello banjo and tuned it just three steps lower than standard to play an A tune out of an equivalent to double C tuning.

As played by August Merrill, Missouri fiddler, and collected by R.P. Christeson. Missouri tunes are often notey, and I suspect with more familiarity, I&#39d want to simplify this more for banjo ease.

Banjo fans..Im posting an old recording (1985) of two tunes by Sousa. I recently found (its easy to loose things when you move a lot) this recording of the Sousa tunes which features Mary Levine, a staff pianist with ?The American Ballet Theatre, New York..Her Husband, Joe was the conductor for many years.

John Salyer&#39s tune, played out of &#34Old-G&#34 tuning. I pulled it out of another of my *.mp3&#39s at the hangout: &#34Old G-athon&#34 which has four other tunes with it.

I learned this beautiful arrangement from watching Dave Hum on YouTube. It is in the beautiful Double C tuning. I&#39m using a capo on the second fret, and on the seventh fret of the 5th string. Key of D. I tabbed out the song, which you&#39ll find in the tabs area of the forum. For this recording I am using my Deering Goodtime Special banjo. Enjoy!
