Songs to Learn and Teach

Banjo Ben,

In one of your videos, you mentioned that we can suggest tunes that we would like you to teach us. I hope that you still do that.

I really like an old fiddle tune that my dad did when I was a kid. He was trained as a classical violinist, but he did a few Bluegrass tunes as well. He fiddled a mean “Lonesome Reuben’s Train” that I always enjoyed playing with him. We knew a Banjo player down the street and sometimes we got together after church and did it together.

Can you learn and teach that one on Guitar, Banjo, and Mandolin? This may be asking a lot, but that’s always been one of my favs in Bluegrass.
