Fantastic. Bacon and Day Senorita banjo
Hi Aaron, nice to meet you earlier! Lovely song this! Enjoy your tour! Greta
Absolutely wonderful
🤯
great dynamics, excellent touch, fantastic sounding banjo with very little sustain.... everything you would want in classic banjo!
Sounds great......
Thanks for sharing with all of us 👍👏👏 Just wonderful 😀
Fascinated by this style. First heard Rob Mackillop and later, Jerrod Paxton. Questions: no picks? Steel strings? Standard banjo tuning GDGBD?
I figured out “Coloured Aristocracy” off a Guy Van Duser record back in the 80s but didn’t stick with it.
AJL has an instructional playlist on his channel. I believe this style is typically played with bare finger pads on gut/nylon and standard tuning is gCGBD.
Mighty fine
How is the banjo tuned? Brilliant and thanks. Have the CD but to watch you play is delightful
@David Caron thanks
is there a place i can find the tab for this?
Mo' beard? Ha.... but a delightful classical romp for sure!
A frolic is right. Lovely picking....and a super beard!! Sorry, just had to say it. :)
AJL has done us a wonderful favor by playing a major role in bringing this banjo genre to the larger Old Time audience. There may be discussion in the OT music world if this is truly "Old Time Music", or should be relegated to a separate category of banjo music apart from OT. Maybe so. But it cannot be denied that the Classic Banjo era was a type of "missing link" between the banjo music of the Minstrel stage and the early Hillbilly recording era and, ultimately, the rise of Bluegrass. And, importantly, while we have acknowledged the interchange of banjo music between White and Black musicians during the era of segregation, there was, it seems, an interchange between urban and rural banjoists as well. Some of the brilliant recordings of Charlie Poole and Uncle Dave Macon seem to be influenced by this style of playing. At any rate, AJL is one of the greatest banjoists in the world, and his Cd is a total delight. And the liner notes are both inspirational, and an education in banjo history and they provide answers to so many questions I've had about late 19th and early 20th century banjo picking. Highly recommended!
spot on, very difficult to achieve level required to play this style, certainly wasn't appreciated by rural recording tycoons or radio barons
