Twin Sisters

The Reed Martin cut of "Twin Sisters" on his "Oldtime Banjo" CD has always been one of my absolute favorites. This was also one of the first clawhammer tunes I tried to learn when I first started back in 2007. I thought this would be a fitting video for this afternoon since Nashville is rainy, cold and nasty right now. I hope you enjoy this little escape outside in the sunshine with "Twin Sisters".
All the best and keep rollin,
RC

Love this tune! I play it a lot for friends and when I’m just sitting around. Very nice rendition, going to look at more that you’ve done. Thanks!!

[@andrewvida3829]

Wow. That was absolutely and sublimely beautiful.

[@doughutchison6382]

That’s good stuff. I grew up listening to music like this. There’s something about the sound that settles the soul deep within.

[@garypinette830]

beautifully played.

[@ermagerd101]

Thanks Russ, great tune!

[@jimcalamita507]

Love to see the clawhammer vids!

[@danawalker55]

Very nice, Russ! Thanks for sharing and that's a nice looking and sounding banjo.

[@vincentboucher8726]

Clawhammer is very beautiful ! And so hard !

[@lonnalachner7344]

I could have listened too more of that

[@countryguitaronline]

Nice one

[@lapboard340]

Would you be kind enough to show me the inside of your banjo please? Thank you for your consideration.

[@meilinheirendt]

👏

[@timothystone9379]

Would it be possible to clawhammer your mini or is it a bit small for that

[@81crowe]

Only one way to find out!

[@NiallMor]

Russ do you know anything about the history of this tune? I wonder if by any chance it's related to an old Scottish tune called "The Twa [Two] Sisters." Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHqvoqeobtF8l9U

[@campbellbluestone1837]

I always thought its scottish /irish relation was the hornpipe boys of bluehill

[@NiallMor]

@@campbellbluestone1837 That's certainly possible. I merely asked the question because of the similarity between the titles of the two songs.

[@vmalcolm]

Replaced Jake pretty easily with tweeting birds, huh? Lol

[@81crowe]

vmalcolm it was almost a seamless transition from Jake to birds.

[@GunnarSalyer]

@@81crowe the main difference is that the birds were readily audible 😂😂😂

[@81crowe]

@@GunnarSalyer never heard that one before.....
