Pineywoods
I made this banjo peice to accompany the fiddling of Burl Hammons. I was told that it would not make a suitable banjo melody but I liked the tune so much that I had to try. It is now one of my favourite banjo pieces and always envelopes me with a sense of sad sweetness.

Learned from a fiddle tume by Burl Hammons
Great playing and choice of tunes. No apologies needed for your interpretations of the tunes as far as I'm concerned.
I'm a player and not an ethnomusicologist or historian.
I probably re-interpret every tune I learn to make it mine.
I have no problem with anyone else doing the same.
We wouldn't have regional styles if it this personalizing were't part of the folk process from the getgo. Paul Gitlitz
Great choice of music, expertly played and sung. Nicely produced. I hope to see The Onlies live, asap. This is an album I listen to over and over. Karamogo
This album is an education in the power of choosing the perfect amount subtle drone. So calming. So easy to listen over and over again. I hope there will be a Vol. 2! Cyndy
