Here are 2 version of the Baltimore Fire Song, one perhaps approximating a playing of it as a hymn or parlor ballad, another with my rough approximation of the banjo playing of banjoists like Gus Cannon who were mixing blues and rag on the banjo. My instrument is a 1923 Vega Tubaphone pot with a Eastman neck

TOTW 6 March 2026: The Baltimore Fire

This is an exercise on the current old time tune of the week on the hangout 3/11/26 Baltimore fire. It is a Blues/ragtime version ala Gus Cannon. The instrument is a 1923 Vega Tubaphone with the Eastman Neck Eastman has used on its White Ladies. Anyone exploring this kind of banjo playing contact me, Thanks
