<title>A Sea Breeze</title>

<link>https://www.banjohangout.org/song/30168</link>
<itunes:summary>A medley of sea songs with a banjo twist, this is also one of Morley&amp;#39s trickiest solos to play at speed, in which Old Joe predates Bill Keith&amp;#39s performance of Sailor&amp;#39s Hornpipe by at least 50 years! Nothing new under the sun, eh?

The songs/melodies in this solo are:

1 - Intro (Joe Morley)
2 - Tom Bowling (Charles Dibdin)
3 - Rule, Britannia! (Thomas Arne)
4 - Jack&amp;#39s the Lad/Sailor&amp;#39s Hornpipe (Anonymous)
5 - Outro (Joe Morley)

Played on my new Clifford Essex Weaver banjo, similar to the one Joe Morley would have played.
 
This style of playing is known as Classic Banjo. For more information visit: http://classic-banjo.ning.com/</itunes:summary>

<link>https://www.banjohangout.org/song/33846</link>
<itunes:summary>This is a banjo tune that you may recognise from Clive Palmer&amp;#39s playing with The Incredible String Band - I&amp;#39ve added variations from the &amp;#39Clifford Essex&amp;#39 arrangement.  Can&amp;#39t quite play it up to speed yet - it&amp;#39s tricky playing with bare fingers.  I get in a tangle!</itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary>This is a tune I wanted to learn after hearing it on a Clive Palmer album.  It&amp;#39s interesting that it sounds so modern with melodic and single-string elements but was actually composed by Morley in the 1920s. The original score has a tricky third part which I have yet to tackle!</itunes:summary>
