Christmas Card: 2012 (UPDATE: Replaced original file with a new mix.) Made famous by Elvis Presley, our version was arranged, rehearsed, and recorded, over 4 nights during the week before Christmas. I normally play in a banjo & double bass duo, with my friend Bob Hall, the bass player on this recording. We are in the process of putting together a recording studio in his house and decided to create a musical Christmas card to send to all of our friends and family, and also test out our banjo mics on my fiddle. Additionally, to test out our long range offensive capabilities, we enlisted my dad to record a banjo track from his home in TN. In this updated version, my dad might be the only banjo player in the world to have played a duet with a cardboard box. Note that our paranormal research division is currently investigating the origin of the mysterious voice that appears at the end of this recording. Merry Christmas!

Thanks. Haven't checked in on my recording's page in a while, and I didn't get an auto-notification about a comment. I have several other recordings, but they are on my banjo page (mostly) and mandolin page, with the same username. I steal most of my licks from my favorite fiddle player, Aubrey Haynie.
Anyway, thanks for listening.
