New Tune

On a rainy day (the only, I swear!) during my holidays I thought I could give one of my favorite tunes a try. I first heard it on the CD "Transatlantic Jam Sessions 3/1": "Frank McConnell's Threestep". It´s on Youtube too. This CD is a bounty for beautiful tunes, as are the others in this serie.
Here is my humble rendition.
Now that I´m a new user of TablEdit, I tried to write down the tablature. At some points I couldn´t find out the exact note values (especially at the end of part two) but more or less the melody should resemble the original tune.
I play it in open G with capo up two frets (5th string also, although the tune works well without even hitting the 5th string). So the tune is in A major.
I uploaded two versions of notation: the banjo tablature and the pure notes for other instruments. You can download the FREE TablEdit File Viewer here.
If you find it easier you may donload the rtf-files for banjo or melody only which can be opend by most programs.

Isn´t this a good chance to revitalise our transcontinental jam session? If there´s an A-flute out there on the web (or a G-flute capoed up two holes :-))) I could imagine a beautiful duet with the banjo. A guitar, mandolin, banjo or any other instrument would fit too. Come on, try it!
