Welcome to Banjo Butch. This blog shares my music with other instrumentalists who are learning to play. My personal videos of how to play songs and my own tablature are all FREE. But if you find something here that helps you, please consider donating a small gift to one of my sponsored ministries. Thanks! Banjo Butch

My good buddy Tom Coolidge is singing.  The first banjo is played by Alan Fisher.  My break in the song comes later on.  I am the banjo picker in the white shirt.  This is down at Bill's Music in West Columbia, SC.
