Old Molly Hare

My very first video recording done with a USB1 web-cam. It was a sort of first test shot to see if the web-cam worked--filmed around 2000. The sound was recorded through a stick microphone that came with the PC. The clip features a fragment of "Old Molly Hare", a traditional tune played on a 5 string banjo in the clawhammer style.

Cherokee Maggie

An informal jam session in the summer of 2004 featuring the tune "Cherokee Maggie."

Irish Slip Jig

An informal jam session in August 2004. Someone starts playing an Irish jig and others join in. Completely unrehearsed. The mandolin is a Vanden F-5.

If I lose

Cherokee Shuffle
