I enjoyed Marc's recent post very much. It inspired me to add my friend Jess's tune to the posts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx3XvWVHI9s

Video: (untitled) Linked by Paula_DHJ 14 years ago: A Tin Pan Alley song from the late 20's, with my version of 'singing'. Originally, the guy only had 15 cents, but at some point I guess inflation kicked in and affected the title of the song.

Forum Post: (untitled) Linked by Paula_DHJ 14 years ago: Richard Brown plays Viola Lee Blues.
	JAMES ALLEY BLUES - played by MARC NERENBERG - Clawhammer banjo blues Linked by Marc Nerenberg 14 years ago: A great blues by Richard "Rabbit" Brown, first recorded in 1927, here played in a modified clawhammer style.
Forum Post: (untitled) Linked by Paula_DHJ 15 years ago: There is a ton of good info and resources being posted in this thread regarding the playing of the legendary Charlie Poole. Just thought I would link it here in case anyone was interested.
	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.
	The Fox - Marc Nerenberg Linked by Marc Nerenberg 15 years ago: I used to play this on a long neck, capoed at the 9th fret. I'm enjoying playing it without a capo on this teeny tiny banjo. Doing a "kid's song" for an audience of adults is always a fun challenge.
