about

Recorded on a January afternoon at my home in Belfast ME, this album represents some of my favorite tunes to play on the banjo at the time. I learned these tunes from my friends, at fiddle camps, and from recordings. John's Tune was written by me for John Balch.

Endless thanks goes out to the vivid music communities, friends, and family that create the musical world that I am proud and honored to be a part of.

I am by no means a master of this music and claim no authority over these tunes, this is just how I like to play them. If you want to learn more about the styles from which these tunes come, I highly recommend seeking out the source recordings and masters of the tradition.

This rendition of Virgil Anderson's "Jenny Hang the Kettle On" is wonderful. It perfectly grabs the simplistic beauty of Virgil's version, but has such clarity. Amazing album! Payton Scott

Outstanding track......I’m afraid I don’t know if it’s an old time folk tune, or a more modern interpretation. Has a sea shanty vibe about, love it though. Do you know the story please? stukabobs
