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!
