	Clawhammer Banjo, Ngoni Harp tuning - Marc Nerenberg Linked by Marc Nerenberg 15 years ago: An experiment in improvising using a tuning based on that of the Ngoni Harp from Mali. The tuning is dDGAC. To me this sort of resembles music from Mali - but someone from Mali may well disagree!
	LITTLE BIRDIE - Marc Nerenberg Linked by Marc Nerenberg 15 years ago: Recorded at the Yellow Door Coffeehouse in Montreal - Canada's oldest folk music coffeehouse. This was me, playing some genuine folk music for the young people for whom "folk" = singer-songwriter.
	YOU'RE NO GOOD (Jesse Fuller) - MARC NERENBERG Linked by Marc Nerenberg 15 years ago: A slow bluesy version of Jesse Fuller's song.
