Description

A message from the artist: “Over the course of ten years playing banjo, I’ve added quite a few Irish tunes to my Old-Time tune repertoire. This CD is a compilation of just a handful of the ones I play, particularly jigs, which are not as commonly played by most clawhammer players today, but I feel I have a knack for playing them. All tunes are played on my Morgan Monroe Luxmore banjo and accompanied by my Seagull S6 guitar. I truly feel blessed having a gift of music.”
