Nice job on those tunes! :-)

[@bison851]

Could you possibly post a video of Marching Through Georgia in G? Your version in C is the best one I've heard in that key.

[@alexprice72]

Love it! Thank yo for sharing with us!!

[@choahow]

Don't have a tab. I play by ear. I play this in Double C and in G depending upon which banjo I have at the time. I just listen to the tune over and over until I have it and then I"find it" on the instrument. Thanks for listening.

[@zukakog]

wow, that banjo is over 100 years old! Is that the original skin?
_Almost_ makes me want to ditch my uke and pick up a banjo...
Keep posting!

[@choahow]

Thanks for the kind words. This is most likely not the original skin head. Probably from the 1940's or 50's.
