PLAY BALL! ! I remember that this beautiful Sousa's march used to be played by bands as a call to start a baseball game in the old times, when TV sets had just appeared. The rendering of this piece of music on the banjo, it's something to write home about!
Hi, Bill! I´ve play drums all my life, i´m 65 now and I have sold them now, but I must have any thing else to play on, so I bot me a 5-string banjo. Well, I´m in the beginning. When I hear You playing, is just the way I like. Clean, simple BUT DIFFICULT. I´ke BlueGrass and many of Your melodies like: "Maple Leaf Rag", "Washington post march" and the way You play "Foggy Mountain Breakdown". I would be very happy if I can learn to play them like You do. Whishes from Sweden, Gosta Warolin.
Hi Jay. Eric Berg is the artist who designed the shirts. It's an F6F Hellcat which my father flew for the US Navy during World War 2. I have all of the warbird t-shirts that Eric designed for his company: 3DShirts.com Cheers, Bill

Lovely ! The most American march played on the most American instrument. It lends it an unexpected and delightful rural note.
Fantastic, never heard it this way before.
The filling in you do on the main melody is fantastic
Excelente !!👏👏👏👍👍
