This is a slick and fun-to-play arrangement of this classic ragtime tune. It’s in the C position and has some great syncopated and swing licks!

Great song! A gas to play. I sweep a couple measures instead of cross picking them. Measures 33 and 34 for example it works pretty well.

Ok Banjo Ben
I’ve made up my mind to do this one. I’m not getting any younger and I’ve put it off long enough. I’m going in!!!

I used to think this tune was dorky because I’d only ever heard it on piano, and I find piano kinda irritating. But, after hearing this great string arrangement, I picked up my guitar and started learning it. My sister’s learning it on mandolin and I can’t wait to play it with her. Thanks, Ben!

That’s so cool! I hope y’all get it together, and it would thrill me to see a vid of y’all playing it together.
