gear:
bowed acoustic guitar (2 tracks - BHH)
banjo (2 tracks - TT)
This is not a new recording, but I want to share it anyway. Several years ago during the Charlie Poole Festival, I met banjo-master Tony Trischka, who happens to be a home-boy from Syracuse, NY. TT came to my house and added two improvised banjo tracks to a song I'd been recording titled 'Daddy Only Did The Best he Knew How' for the record FINDING GRACE. First pass - perfect. The song is in Am, but I arranged it in a way that the melody of 'Amazing Grace' might be layered onto it in the key of C.
This mix is both of Tony's banjos with two tracks of my bowed guitars, with the rest of the song omitted.
