Well, alrighty then

Here's an old time blue grass tune called Goin Down The Road Feeling' Bad. I haven't played this in years and I'm not really a lead picker so don't expect a lot!

For those who may not know, the banjo style I play is mountain style or claw-hammer banjo. I do not play Scruggs style banjo that you hear in most bluegrass tunes. Some folks call it frailin' banjo or drop-thumb banjo. It's literally picked by using the top side of the finger nails and brushing down rather than picking upwards from the under-side of the finger nails. The high "G" or fifth drone string is plucked with the thumb and thats what gives it a "plucky" sound.

Well, anyway, y'all enjoy this tune. Maybe some of you folks may decide to really take good look at bluegrass style music. It's a lot of fun, can be played anywhere and is usually a real hit after 4 or 7 beers!
