Starting a new thread for our videos of the day. If you are just joining in we have called these the Canary Series because my grandma and her canary moved in with us just before the stay at home orders went into effect for my state. Oliver LOVES the live music and we never know when he will burst into song and sing along so we just went with it! Today’s video is Limehouse Blues.

@WillCoop, pulling what off? Limehouse Blues took some practice. I’m not sure what you are referring to?

I thought you meant you liked this song and were learning it.
I like everything y’all do.

Oh, sorry. No. We had to smooth through Limehouse Blues for several days before it was ready. I think the single hardest lick I know is in this song. Didn’t mean to get you excited!

So we decided to have some fun with the contest song and change it up a bit. Our video for today.

Man, @banjoboyk,
I really liked this inspired rendition! I enjoyed the whole thing but from 0:33 to 0:50… and the gradual descending back down to open position was soooooo nice! 
Many times, the transition is very swift - even abrupt - and so I like the smooth transition here… as a listener can enjoy the tonal change quality down the neck.

This one took me way too long to get recorded. A little rough around the edges but I hope you like it.

Hi Kaleb, I have to say that was brilliant. And a tough lesson to learn. I learned the Eddie Collins arrangement and as I recall it has around six very complex sections covering all 22 frets of the fingerboard… I recorded it about 6 years ago and posted it on my YouTube channel. if you care to check it out. No where as near as good as yours though. I take my hat off to you.

Thanks @Archie! I will go check it out! It is a very complex song and I’ve been working on it off and on for over a year. Still ended up with a metronome in my ear because the timing is uniquely difficult.

That was awesome! That’s like my favorite piano song, I still need to learn it on the banjo.

@D_HRRFan7303 Daniel learned it on the piano. We love all things Scott Joplin! If you are interested in the tab for it, I got it from the Bill Knopf website. There is also a CD you can get to go with it. Today’s video. They recorded without me.
