Leone Way is Up

Mark says " I heard Carl and PeeBee`s splendid efforts, and came up with this. Alas no effects or amplification on the guitar as, ironically, I lent Carl my amp a few weeks back and haven`t got it back yet. It was nice of the Robins in the garden to lend a hand though. I`m imagining a horn over the top of it, as well as a "diggadiggadigga"guitar as well (if you know what I mean).

Good, bad, ugly? You decide

Pasta Pisolero?-"No Name Western":a film theme for a film not yet made.

So it's Western Themes ya want ya ornery claim jumpers.Well pick the bullets outa this 'un.
("..oooh don't he sound butch?" -"Shut up Brand!")
A contrast to Carl's magnificent theme-summat a bit dirtier/unwashed/ plain stinky.

Del Rio

It's not often I get audio from my brother Carl, but when I do it's usually quality. He's off on a shadows/spaghetti western trip here. I don't know if he's aware, but according to wikipedia, Del Rio is Texas border country and the setting of loads of westerns and No Country for Old Men. It fits the feel really well.

Playing with a Pick

Trying to get a bit of variation in my playing I thought I'd play with a pick - but I haven't got one, so I used my finger nail instead. Quite liked the result, it's bit softer than a pick.

Make Your Own Banjo part 5 - audio

Here's a first sample of the 'big dog' in action. I'm still suffering with a trapped nerve and can't play for more than a couple of minutes - this may also be due to the fact that big dog weighs a ton!

You can hear the buzzing on the first string and the actions a bit high, but these things can be sorted. The achievement is that it actually makes a sound!

Rumour has it that Harry wants to make another!

Make Your Own Banjo part 4

Harry dropped in the banjo the other day for a first set up. Its big, hefty and loud! It sounds a bit brash compared to the Windsor but with a bit of proper setting up its gonna be sweet. Uncle Harry's done a fantastic job and this thing is a real labor of love.

Look me in the Eye

Mark's been working on some words for this tune that I stated a couple of weeks ago.
