I Wish I Wish My Baby Was Born / K Fore Banjo

My friend on youtube silasbanjo has put up a great clip of this song with a great teaching clip to help everyone along with this melody and great additional harmonic drone notes . I wanted to do it for him in this wonderful inside out tuning called Rambling Hobo Tuning (From Doc Watson's performance of the tune of the same name ) . I am playing it tuned down a full step plus to a very flat E . In Banjo thinking that is fCFCD -1 . I am also playing it on my new Fretless from Kevin Fore of Round Peak banjo. It is his # 40 banjo .It is set up with a very high home made bridge and Nylgut strings . More on this banjo soon ..

Simply amazing! My Favourite version !

Wonderful, droning sound and not easy to play on a fretless. Perfect accompaniment to an excellent singing style. It's hard to beat Tim Eriksen's version but this, I feel, comes very close. I love it!

I love Tim and Ryley's vertsion of this so much . Riley is the real deal and Tim has done enough shape note singing to have great power in his voice .Thanks for even thinking of me in the same breath ... Yours Guy

Oh how I love those slides ! You get such a wonderful tone on long slides. Also thank you for the kind words, I got to say that our KZbin friendship has been such fun....thank you ! I am yet to have a go on a fretless banjo but my next banjo will be a fretless for certain!! ps. my wife wants to know if you do any harvest jugs ?

[@guywolff]

Hello Tom,Its the brass fingerboard making that clean sustain on the slides . Very cool banjo.Using Yt for these cultureral exchanges is a real and truthful joy I must say.I have some harvest jugs but with international shipping it would be hard .You really have to meet my friend Douglas Fitch at Hollyford Pottery,Stockleigh English,Crediton,Devon,EX17 Tel: [phone] He is making pottery inspired by 12 th century Devon pots and is in love with Veerwood. Plus he is a wonderful` person.
