This channel is to share my love of Traditional music, especially Old Time American music.
I'll add lots of videos, predominantly banjo with the intention of putting them into playlists of the common keys so others can use for backup videos to there own playing on what ever instrument.
I also plan on adding some backup guitar videos for fiddle & banjo players to play along with on popular tunes.
Of course I'd be very happy to do requests if there is a tune you would like to see played, and would love to hear others playing along to my videos.
If you enjoy the channel I'd really appreciate your comments and if you can share too would be most greatful. And of course if you haven't already subscribed , please do so. Thanks

tis always so great to finish the day at work and come home to find a new upload from you, this is perfect to lift my mood, thank you!!!!
Absolutely. R.
Jolly tune...
😊
Very nice!
Thanks
Brilliant! Covering every tune with aplomb. R.
So many tunes, so little time 😀
Thanks again!
Spiffy. R.
I love this song.
😊
sounds great! what tuning are you in ?
Thanks. In double d . aDADE
oh what a smile I have on my face listening to this, brilliant, thank you!!!!!
Glad you like it. I learnt the tune from the fuzzy mountain Stringband recording.
@@oldtimetunesandsongs I definitely haven't reached the stage of learning a tune from recordings, blimey it's hard enough following just a video with one instrument. I did say that you are a font of knowledge for all the tunes you have under your fingers. Keep them coming 🙂
Is this your own rendition? If you can do tabs you should consider a patreon or something, I'd totally be down to throw a couple bucks your way for some occasional tabs on there.
I learnt the tune from the playing of the fuzzy mountain stringband. I tend to learn the basic melody and play around with it as I go. But I've got a basic tab written out somewhere. If it's readable that's another question 😀
I like how that cool tune moves, how it makes me feel (and I hate feelings) and how that banjo sounds under your arm.
That's very kind , many thanks. The banjo is a joy to play, sounds good with anyone playing it I'm sure.
Tricky. Played by a master. Thanks so much. R.
Thanks, too kind.
Good Morning and Thank You. Keep them coming, please!
Will do. Thanks
Lovely
😊
wow wat an amazing mellow sound the banjo has, fretless has a unique sound and this tuning works so well with it. A great tune again 🙂
Thanks. I'm enjoying the difference in sound myself too with the nylon strings, though do find it alot trickier. I'm going to experiment with nylgut strings on a fretted banjo soon, am interested what that will sound like.
@@oldtimetunesandsongs now that will be a wonderful sound I am sure, can't wait to hear it.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Another good one. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent. Old mother Flanagan could work hard all day with this keeping her going. R.
Indeed!
added to my never ending list, thank you for another great tune.
Glad you like it!
Great tune to chill to. Great fretting brother, keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Nice tune, very well played. R.
😊
Lovely playing, haunting tune, accurate name (just above 10 degrees here) and Lovely sounding banjo.
Thanks. Very chilly. Snow too?
@@oldtimetunesandsongs yea, some frosty snow this morning
Nice tune Scott
😊
Nicely played. R.
Thanks Roger 😊
Excellent.
😊
Love that tune.
Me too. A fun one
Lovely job, I always liked the tune, good one for a groove.
Is a fun one. 😊
Nice, I like it!
I'm glad you like it
Beautiful and haunting tune!
😊
Nice! So are those fret lines just painted on? (My vision's not good enough anymore to be able to tell.)
They are inlaid into the neck. Makes it easier but do find I become too reliant on watching my fingers the whole time 😀
Again, thank you!
My pleasure!
such a lovely deep sound with this tuning, great. My first thanks of 2025
Glad you like it!
Having been enjoying your posts a lot since discovering your channel a few days ago. Hope, though, that the new year brings you occasion to smile when you play! 🙂
Thanks. Me too 😀
So glad I discovered your channel. Like your vibe a lot and look forward to your posts to come.
I appreciate that!
Very nice. It's a great tune.
Thanks. It is.
A lovely tune , well-played 👍
Thanks 😊
Lovely...x
Thanks 😊
Thank you again!
Any time!
Real nice :)
Thanks 😊
Beautiful! As a new subscriber, I'm very happy to see your steady stream of posts. And in this case, being used to seeing "manager" misspelled so often, I had to look twice when I saw "manger" in the title - correct for once! 😅
😀 it does look wrong though still doesn't it. Thanks for listening
Yes!
😊
Your fingernail colors have sure helped with proper placement for my fingers. Thank you.
Glad its helpful 😀
Got it! Thank you!👍
😊
Thank you! I'm a happy subscriber...keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Sounds almost like "Hava Nagila!" Always wondered if "Joe Clark" wasn't original a Gypsy or Ashkenaz piece. We were just watching _Fiddler_ _on_ _the_ _Roof._
It may well just do, definitely has that vibe in parts. 😃
Add a dulcimer sometime. VERY NICE!
Dulcimer would sound cool. Need to get myself one :)
Beautiful 💜 love this. Merry Christmas
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too 😊
That’s very nice.
Thanks so much. 😊
Why are they called clawhammers?
It's the motion of the right hand that gives the technique that name.
Oh! I see it now. Thanks for telling me
