It’s “Silent Night” played “classical style” (essentially like guitar fingerpicking) on a 5-string banjo. I made this recording a few years ago, & no doubt I could play it better now, but I was satisfied with the take when I recorded it, & still don’t have any real objections to the performance—perhaps a few quibbles, but that’s it.
I will be back with a post tomorrow, most likely the final installment of the Old-Time Holiday Train.
All the blessings of the season to you, dear readers!

John,
ReplyDeleteVery nice. :-) Merry Christmas, and wishing you both a healthy, joyous, and Happy New Year.
That was a first for me, but it was lovely. Boxing Day now, just barely, but it was still welcome. Hope your holiday is as peaceful as the music.
ReplyDeleteSweet, peaceful, endearing.
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice, John! I like simplicity, and this was the essence of that. Blessings of the season right back atcha!
