Banjo Music "Calliope Rag" ~ Jesse & Nathan

Jul 2012 - Jesse Rock & Nathan Hanna playing "Calliope Rag" in the cornfields behind Jesse's house via green screen. This rag was written around 1910 by James Scott. The arrangement is based on bits and pieces of different versions including ones by Buddy Wachter and Johnny Baier.

These videos are my absolute favorites of anything banjo related I've come across in years of TH-cam surfing. They were truly therapeutic for my father in the end stages of Parkinson's. The sound immediately calmed him and brought a smile to his face when he was otherwise uncontrollable. Thank You

[@rocklynne63]

I’m so thankful the videos helped your father! They were also great for my mother during the end stages of Alzheimer’s. Thank you so much for your comment.

Thanks, Boyd. I still get a kick out of the part where Nathan played on Jesse's banjo! ~Lynne

Wow, this is awesome! I love the cornfields and the way Jesse & Nathan played this! The green screen video of these guys playing "Russian Rag" on Nathan's channel is also very impressive!

Super! Nice rag tempo. Great backing harmonies.

[@rocklynne63]

Glad you enjoyed both rags, Jennifer. We are planning to work on some more green screen videos soon. The next international collaboration will be on Nathan's channel!

[@rocklynne63]

These are some of the videos we made while our good friend Nathan was visiting us this summer! He and Jesse worked on music projects together for a couple of weeks... including a CD. Thanks for asking about Norbert. He is doing well. Norbert and his wife hosted a nice jam session at their house while Nathan was here and the guys had a great time... no videos to post from that event though. ~Lynne

[@rocklynne63]

Thanks, Laura! The guys and I had a lot of fun making this video in the living room (with the green screen)! I hope to see a collaboration green screen video of you, Joanie and Floyd someday! ~Lynne
