Beethoven banjo tune

3rd part of this sonata. I'm always working on the 1st ...

Composed this years ago but just decided to record it. Added some guitar backup to fill out the sound a bit. It's not bluegrassy or Old-Timey, but it sounded a bit classical to me so at the risk of offending the purists out there that's how I classified it, and that's how I settled on the title, which may be pronounced Broken if you so desire. :>) In G tuning.

That was a real pleasure to work with a great musician, thanks Laurence.

Cello Banjo performance by Rob MacKillop of a Bach Cello piece

Solo banjo arrangement of J.S. Bach's Bourree from his third cello suite.

This reminds me of the swirling leaf eddies that keep my first graders from having an orderly line every fall by the cafeteria.

Played on a Deering Eagle II Tenor Banjo tuned a minor third lower and the resonator removed.
