Here's my attempt at this fairly unusual piece of music that I learned from banjo master, researcher and mentor George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. Virgil Anderson, Dee Hicks and Dock Boggs (to name a few) also used this tuning to great effect.
Look out for some close-ups on this one as well as a discussion/lesson in the coming days.

Nora Brown does a wonder job playing this tune. I highly recommend checking it/her out.

2018-05-22 19:18:20 +0000 UTCIm in Kona/Waikoloa on the other side of the island from Kilauea. It’s not even a part of the conversation. Not a concern at all. The locals say the “VOG” ( volcanic fog) isn’t any worse than usual. I heard much more about the eruption on the mainland. Although I did see a stream of what were probably national guard choppers coming from the east this morning. I assume Kilauea related. Aloha!

2018-05-19 23:49:20 +0000 UTCAccording to the "news" it's all fire and brimstone in Hawaii these days--according to actual humans living there or visiting most things are back to normal. Sounds like an interesting vacation.
