	Carolan's Draught (Celtic Fingerstyle) Linked by Tom Hanway 12 years ago: Similar to my recording for Complete Book of Irish & Celtic 5-String Banjo, and in my BHO Music Files. Note fretting-hand fingerings: index (i), middle (m), ring (r), and pinky (p) fingers. Enjoy!
MP3: Carolan's Concerto - from Complete Book of Irish & Celtic 5-String Banjo Linked by Tom Hanway 12 years ago: This classic piece by the blind harper O'Carolan (1670-1738) is perfect for Celtic Fingerstyle banjo. It's a popular session tune, played with reverence for the last of the Irish harper-composers.
	Blackberry Blossom (hornpipe) Linked by Tom Hanway 12 years ago: I recorded this back in ’98. I play it today with less bounce and a bit slower. It’s an old American BG and OT standard that has found its way into ITM thanks to Eileen Ivers and John Whelan. Enjoy!
MP3: Tarbolton, The/Longford Collector/Sailor's Bonnet (Celtic fingerstyle) Linked by Tom Hanway 12 years ago: Tune link in response to request in a Celtic 5-string thread: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/284772/2
	The Longford Collector Linked by Tom Hanway 12 years ago: Please notice the mixture of fretting-hand and picking-hand techniques in Celtic Fingerstyle.
	Drowsy Maggie/Sweeney's Buttermilk/Ships Are Sailing Linked by Noah Cline 12 years ago: Set of reels. aDADE tuning
MP3: The Butlers Of Glen Avenue / Sliabh Russell / Cathal McConnell's Linked by Laurence Diehl 12 years ago: I learned this set from lunasa
