BEAUTIFUL!!! BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM! AND BONNIE BLUE / Irish Jaunting car? How exciting! I have not yet explored CIVIL WAR TUNES on the banjo, despite them being my forte or knowledge, as I’ve focused on Briggs! Please kindly remind me which book it may be found in? The Early 5 String Banjo solos?
Amazing - going strong! I play “Bully For All,” every chance I get, and love your Buckley’a 1868 Transcription Book. Thank you so much for your contributions to this music history.
Would you post some tutorials? I just finished building a fretless banjo and now I have to learn to play the stupid thing and I'm having a hard time finding good fretless tutorials

Nice song and pictures, Tim; the tempo increasing during the song seems to suggest the progression from sunrise, and those pausing to admire it, to the day getting underway as the sun climbs higher.
