about

again clawhammer in gCGCD. Learned Bonaparte's Retreat from the Folk Legacy album by Hobart Smith (he plays it on fiddle). He's by far my favorite fiddle and banjo player. He was also a great guitarist and piano player. There are a lot of versions of this tune, I like the way this one rolls along. Salmon Tails up the River is a tune I heard played on the Northumbrian smallpipes by Jack Armstrong, Northumbrian Minstrelsy the album might have been called. It was a fleamarket find. Great music from the north of England. Ducks on the Millpond is a well known banjo/fiddle tune from the Round Peak guys, I learned it from my father and John Burke's arrangement. Milo Mou Kokkino (My Red Apple), a song from the north of Greece. If I could play these "exotic" tunes on the pipes and clarinet I would, but I think they translated to banjo well enough.

Hunter Robertson Geneva, Switzerland

I play old-time banjo – clawhammer and 2 & 3-finger styles and mainly play traditional music from the US, especially the southeastern part of the US – though I make the occasional foray into other things.
