Ranging from the driving sound of bluegrass banjo to the rich chordal harmonies unique to his playing, these arrangements bring out the fullness and sparkle of these great old songs. Every banjo player needs a wide variety of tunes in the repertoire to cover all the performance occasions. Gospel tunes are always in demand.
