Here I play on my banjo for the first time in this forum, and I play the guitar too. This version of the well known song Tom Dooley, I have from A book and some recordings with one of my musical heroes, Doc Watson. He claims he have it from his grandmother, who as a child was a neighbor to the Dooley family. I like this much better, than the very popular version with the Kingston Trio. I think that was ruined (for me at least), because a danish pop quartet had a hit on danish radio with it in the late 50's, early 60's. I can't stand to listen to it today. But this one with Doc I love. Hope I haven't ruined it for you people :-) I bought the banjo in the middle of the 70's, and used the fingerpicking I had played for a long time on the guitar. I don't know if it is real Scruggs style. I have tried to learn the clawhammer style, but find it very hard to learn. So I stick to my selftought three finger picking.
