Sounds great. I like the bugs in the back. Reminds me of when I lived in a cave turned stone cabin above a rock quarry. Banjos and fiddles sound great in these kinds of places. This song is one of the first I sang with my brother and sister back in the early 1960s. When we got ukuleles we played it with our Dad (Mandolin) and Mom (Guitar or Banjo). Your banjo tone is great and your singing is on point. Thank you so much.

That sounds like a very wonderful memory. Glad you can cherish them.

You build fretted? Okay, now I'm stoked. I'll check out your site, because I'm definitely in the market. I've been playing my own gourd banjo and I love it, but I've got ambitions of playing above the 7th fret.😂

Awesome, yeah. Hit me up any time.
