[Rob MacKillop]

A new video featuring the banjo sent to me by the Deering company - it's stunning. The music is by the wonderfully-named, Bertie Bassett (such a sweetie) from 1922:

Lovely Rob, I enjoyed that.

Mind I'm still waiting for 'Oh! Susanna" arranged for the Archlute!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Be careful what you ask for! I once played archlute with a baroque ensemble, some Monteverdi. Anyway, the conductor took ages to come on stage, where we were all assembled. The audience were getting restless...so I started a 12-bar blues, and the harpsichordist joined in. The audience loved it, the other musicians too. The only guy who didn't like it was the conductor, who was apoplectic afterwards. I didn't mind...

Nice Rob...went well with my morning cuppa joe.
And I can not believe that you would do anything to break rules and upset a conductor. Not you.

Hmm...I have a reputation...
