I intend to add a few more tunes as I have time. The first one an instrumental, is a combination of two long time traditional
songs, long in public domain. Cripple Creek and Banjo in the Hollow. In order to listen to this music or hear instructions for the lessons I offer, you must have
real player G2 installed on your computer. Real is a free plug in. Its used at thousands of websites
for both audio and video presentations. It allows me to compress a wav file of 30 megs to less than 500 kb
and stream it on this site so you hear the music virtualy instantly. Of course being shrunk tremendously
dimishes the quality greatly, but the trade off is worth it. Its the best available way of sampling large
sound files currently. You can get a free copy of it by clicking here.
I am playing all the instruments in these songs. The second song, with vocals and yes its me doing them all, is a new one, I wrote the music for
it. Although it doesnt highlight the banjo, its a nice bluegrass song none the less.
The words were penned by Julie Ferris.
And the last one for now is called Boil Them Cabbages,
you can tap your foot to my mediocre Fiddling on this piece.
