The Tennessee Stud

Cherokee Boogie

hey-ho-a-leena

Til The Rivers All Run Dry

No Banjo

El Paso

Its lyrics were changed for a gold rush era play: Down in the gold camp of old Rough and Ready I fell in love with a gal with blue eyes. Nighttime would find me in Susan's great kitchen Drinking fine coffee and munching on pies. Etc.

1. Crazy - Acoustic Flat Top - Buffy McGibbon

16 - Don't Forget Me, Baby - Russian version

Ne Zabyvay Menya - my original words in Russian

Tennessee Waltz

An old but nice waltz tune

15 - Don't Forget Me, Baby

This is the first song that I wrote in country style for banjo. At first it was written in Russian language by myself. And now I'm happy that I can sing it in English too! This English version of lyrics for this song was written for me by my Banjo Hangout friend - Mike Gregory! I want to thank him very much for his great work about my Russian lyrics to translate it in English! So his name will appear on my future banjo CD where I add this song if you'll appreciate my performance of it. It is so ...

Faded Love,open D

An old tune I fooled with playing dances in the 70's

Liberty

This was recorded at Black Creek in 2008 with some friends.

In The Pines, a la my old friend Mizzook's way

Played in Wilbur's ( aka Mizzook ) simplistic and, to me, pretty style. I hope you like it, and thanks for listening. Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated. Bill Martin

Ring Of Fire-Bill Breen

With everyone's thoughts on the political season, I thought I would throw my hat in the ring..."The Ring Of Fire," that is. Again, my favorite bass player (my wife Lynn) accompanies me while I pick the banjo and guitar.

Buckaroo - Bill Breen

This is my version of the Buck Owens' popular instrumental, "Buckaroo." I put this arrangement together in response to a request from my Banjo Hangout Buddy, "Lumpy." My favorite bass player, my wife Lynn, is on bass and I'm on banjo and guitar. I hope you enjoy it, Lumpy!

Tennessee Stud - Bill Breen

This arrangement is the result of a request from my BHO buddy, "Branding," who asked me to record Tennesee Stud. My wife, Lynn, is on bass and I'm on banjo and guitar. I hope you like it, Branding!

Texas Moon

copyright 2007 Hal Rowberry. All rights reserved. I played banjo on this session job, and really like the tune. Lots of fun to listen to! My part was mostly rhythm, but I got a few licks in, here and there. You can hear the banjo mostly on the right side of the mix. At the end of the song, there's a reference to: "dancin' to Pinto, at the Saddle Sore Saloon' The Saddle Sore is a famous honky-tonk just over the hill from Jackson Hole, on the Idaho side, in a tiny town called Swan Valley. All the ...

Workin' Man/Folsom Prison Blues - Bill Breen

Just a quick, down and dirty version of my favorite instrumental medley. My wife, Lynn, is on bass and I'm on banjo and guitar.
