Thanks for the nudge! I have had a look, it's a tune I've never played, though the key is fine. Often with a new Irish tune I'll try it on tenor banjo first to get a feel for it. Watch this space, but don't hold your breath! (Seems quite fiddly..... In both senses.)

Thanks!! 🙏🙏

No, all my music is on here. I've been asked a few times now, so if I can get better at the tech side I may stick something on SoundCloud.......

@ I understand. I think you are one of the better banjo players going around and would certainly stream your music if it were available.

@JeanBaptiste_ thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏

You should definitely do it! 😁😁

Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks 🙏🙏. Glad you like it. It's such a short tune it's hard not to play each part more than twice each time through!

Thanks 😊😊😊

Thanks! 👍👍

Thanks for the comment! Here is the tab....... Merci bien! www.banjohangout.org/tab/browse.asp?m=detail&v=27620

Great to hear from you, and thanks for the comment. Good luck with song, I hope you keep singing it for years to come! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks so much for the comment. I'm glad you liked it. I've never seen another 5 string banjo version of this, but it kind of works I think. I'm glad it's traveled all the way to California! 😊🙏😊🙏

Thanks. This was a lovely banjo. It sold quickly!

Thanks, glad you liked it! ☺️☺️

Hi, thanks for the question. It's in a slightly lower version of sawmill tuning. Sawmill is usually gDGCD. This is tuned fCFBbC. In terms of the musical theory stuff, the tune is modal, and has a minor third and minor seventh, but doesn't have a 6th. So you can't really nail it down to a specific mode. There is a good video on Banjohangout which explains the most common modes, if you need some basics. If not, hopefully that makes sense??

I notice that a lot of Irish know this song...sadly a lot of Americans don't know it. It was never really played on the radio anyway.

Thanks for the comment, glad you like it. I'm sad the world is headed backwards on this too. 🙏🙏🙏

This land is your land had a verse deleted I think - for its politics...... Thanks for the comment 😊😊😊

@@cerddoriaethfynyddig This land is your land deleted verse "One bright sunny morning, in the shadow of the steeple, By the relief office I saw my people, As they stood there hungry, I stood there wondering if, This land was made for you and me."

Thanks for the query. There is a good hand written tab on Banjo hangout. Not mine, but that's what I used. 🙏🙏

@@cerddoriaethfynyddighey thank you. Is this the tuning you used F Bb F Bb C? I am new to playing Banjo….

Yes, you have a good ear! Thanks for the question!

I keep trying! (I keep taking my 5 string to our local session, not sure how it goes down.....) Thanks for the comment 😊😊😊😊

Thanks! I'll try but I'll have to learn it again!! 😁

Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏 glad you liked it!

Hi, yes, it's a late 1920s tubaphone tenor, with a new 5 string neck built over here in the UK. I have kept the tenor neck intact to sell on with it, but unless times get very hard, I'm not selling! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment, it's always good to hear from people. I find it a hard tune to follow and remember!

Thanks 😊😊

Hi there, I don't have a tab as I worked this one out by ear. I have a tutorial video on here though, I hope that helps some? 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi, Great question. It's 4/4 time, but super crooked. This is one of those songs which is irregular! Listen to Nora Brown's playing, the sections and fills she plays are wonderful and powerful. But I can't make them regular in my head! Learn the basic "a part" theme, then the B part theme, then sing the lyrics into it, and it will take shape. Harder to explain than do, the two parts are not too complicated. Try the Peggy Seeger version too, that is a different melody and a little bit more regular in shape. If you can live with crookedness it will work for you!

As ever John, your comments cheer me up! Thanks for taking the time! 😊😊

Hi, the first is called "No Man's Land" (sometimes known as "The Green Fields of France"), and the second "Fair Willie Drowned in Yarrow" or sometimes just "Yarrow ". Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you liked them! 😊😊

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Glad you like it. Thanks for the comment! 😊😊

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏 of course sing it to your dog. The dog I wrote this for howls at a fiddle, howls at harmonica, but loves my banjo! (Maybe it smells of the goat skin on it???) Thanks for the comment!

Thanks John, good to hear from you again. I always appreciate your comments! 🙏🙏

Thanks for letting me know, I love hearing from people who learn from my videos. ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Hi David, Wales is beautiful, I hope you enjoy it. We live in Scotland now, so unfortunately I'm too far away now. I hope the weather is kind to you ☺️☺️☺️☺️ (I always read comments and always reply..... I love hearing from people who use my videos! Thanks for reaching out!)

@ Ah, it was worth a shot. Thanks again for the videos! Cheers from Wales

I was reading the tab which was right next to the camera, so just concentrating! Thanks for the comment 😊😊😊😊

ua-cam.com/video/1G4kPGXYUqE/v-deo.html Have a look at this. Good luck!

@@cerddoriaethfynyddigthanks man!

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks! I can sing most of it, just not the Joni high high bits! Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

I know!

Hope this one works for you, it's a cracker!

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏. It's a corker!

Thanks 😊😊😊😊

Thanks 😊😊😊😊

It was written by Peter Lippincott, over on Banjohangout he's quoted as saying "I just came up with it noodling around one day, oh so long ago. String bands in St. Louis where I lived took it to Galax and other fiddle venues and it caught on. Who knew? I named it after the Snake River, but other than sounding like a cool name there is no added significance. I also wrote an influential contra dance by the same name at about the same time. Doubling down on a good name I guess.” Not sure if there is a Snake River near Galax?

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks! We sang this to our son when he was little, and to our granddaughter now. Thanks for the comment! 😊😊

Keep playing it and it will come good. Quite often I find practising and practising a tune one day, then sleep, and in the morning it will just come better...... Good luck!

@@cerddoriaethfynyddig thankyou ! I try to listen and listen and then it happens😄 i "find" the tune. I have small hands so i have to find another way to play tunes sometimes🤭

If I use a tab, I always, always find my own way through a tune. Thanks for the comments! 😄😄

Thanks 😊😊. I really appreciate the comment. No website, just what's on here and on Banjohangout. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
