Ah, but what the 30 second clip doesn't tell you, I've also got a nice accordion solo in polka dots and moonbeams....as if banjo wasn't enough! That was a big part of this album, doing the unexpected and/or slightly unusual with known songs, as well as introducing a few compositions of my own. I thought it would be a good idea to make each track downloadable separately, so people could buy what fit their taste, if they weren't quite up to engaging in the whole experience of the album.

Now I HAVE TO go back and D/L "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" just to hear the solo ... accordion WAS my first keyboard instrument ...

Thanks Rory, I’m impressed – my kind of music.
As soon as I get straight with PayPal I will order your CD, good music is not easy to find.

Impressed, John C.

Just a quick update. The CD is now available for download at ITunes. So if anyone didn't have a CDBaby account and didn't want to create one, you can now find it at itunes. It will be at Amazon.com soon. OK, end of plugging the album. Thanks all for checking it out.

You didn't happen to use a certain old Gretsch tenor banjo, did you?

On the tune "it's so Easy", I certainly did use a certain old tenor Gretsch banjo. I think I sent you a rough mix of that song shortly after I'd recorded it. On Polka Dots, I used my Majestic tenor.
