Good job, i liked the pace never out of meter, great tone, Tasty dynamics. Whats not to like?  Iam now wondering why your Bio says you are a novice?

Thanks for the compliments. Give me a few more months with it, and it should sound better. I just figured it out, with no tab (it took a long time). However, I just checked Joel's site, and the tab is available for a mere $1.00:

Very nice playing and great sound. Really strikes me as expressive somehow. And wow, what a catchy little tune. Is that your Brooks banjo?

Thanks, Isaac. Listen to Joel's version, and you'll see what I'm shooting for. I don't think I'll ever be able to do it at his speed, but I MIGHT be able to capture that "dragonfly" feel - eventually.

Yes, that was recorded with my Brooks banjo. I love that thing.

Well, I can see why you love it!! Great bell tones with a nice richness. I have one coming just like it that should be here in the next 3 or 4 weeks. The wait is killing me. I've been checking your page now and then to see if you've posted any soundfiles of yours because I've been wanting to hear one. Well the wait is over and I'm impressed, with the banjo and of course the person playing it!! I'll go check out Joel's music too. Thanks and great playing.

You pretty much got it, buddy.  Only quibble is that you are playing it A,B,A,B.  It really needs to be AABB.  It makes a difference in my mind, anyway.  Keep up the good work!

Beautiful!  Yes, I think Elwood is right.  It's time to upgrade your experience level.

Two things. One, I LOVE that tune, the way you play it is very touching. Two, you have a typo on your profile. Wormpicker and others have already pointed it out ;) Bravo! Dan.
