Hi NBB-here's an old pop song and a picture of the man who did it best -Leadbelly.
Got memories of my mother in law (bless her soul) singing this after a few mountain whiskeys.

Goodnight Irene

Strangely, my professional life and banjo-life have started to collide recently, which feels a bit odd. Aside from a sad preoccupation with the banjo I'm also involved in the world of contemporary art and have started making work again as part of an internship at the University of Teeside. What started to come out though are a whole series of works derived from banjo, folk, blues and the arcane world of music and musical instruments.

I've started on a series which is based on the names of American folk and blues musicians and I'm particularly interested in the 20s, 30s and 40s. So if you have any particularly obscure ones drop me a line and be part of a contemporary art project. (make em real names though!)
