This is my version of John Stenson's No. 2. I am up-picking and adding a few accent notes here and there. I revised the B part by using the lower octave and adding some different riffs. I think that old time fiddle tunes leave room for players to be creative, while preserving the original melody. Enjoy.

Thanks for your positive comment. A local luthier is building a custom mountain banjo for me - flush frets, Dobson-style head stock, skin head, Nylgut strings. It should be finished by in about 30 days. I will post some tunes on the new banjo when it is finished.
