Big Sciota

For my first installment: Big Sciota! This is Jayme Stone's version of the traditional Irish fiddle tune, "Big Sciota." I recorded this on April 12th, 2009. Instruments: Banjos, spoons, coffee cup, jug (bass), and a book closing(thumping sound). "Big Sciota"

Testing the music player.

Work sucka. Let's see if I can add a music player to my posts.  This music player doesn't have a volume control, so you'll have to use your speaker knob to adjust the volume. Pee Wee Herman Theme - Danny Elfman

Setting up my spot.

Alright.  A blog. My intention for this blog is to create a banjo/diary which will follow my progress of learning about and playing the 5-string banjo.  I plan on posting recordings here as soon as I can figure how to do it.
