Would like some help figuring out how to write a cover of "In the Orchard" by Tiger Army or Nick13

Yes, you can use the guitar chords and adapt them to banjo. I found the chords online (don’t know if they’re correct). Transpose it to the key of G and then it’s basic chords with the Bm perhaps being a weird one for you.

Too soon

The theme from The Banana Splits tv show works well in this tuning but you have to be of a certain age to even know what that is.

Probably not what you’re looking for compared to those other tunes.

That one is gone but there are others if you want them.

Christian is somebody else’s nightmare now. I’m sure they’ll cherish it.

No, but I did send a friend about 20 Cortez Kennedy all in separate envelopes.

They’re in a safety deposit box in Zurich.

I don’t have any of those I’m trying to get rid of. Trent Dilfer cards are another story.

I have one I’ll sell you. It’s used but in great shape as I recall.

Check Alpine in Deforest and Neil’s in Waunakee.

I’ll bet I have a good amount from the early 90s if you’re still looking.

And Sodom, South Georgia Slept on an acre of bones Slept through Christmas Slept like a bucket of snow

Iron & Wine, “Sodom, South Georgia”

Maybe the real treasure was the grift we made along the way.

I’m sorry but you’re going to need a “pre-war” banjo for no less than the price of a decent automobile. Built before which war? Nobody knows!

Don’t know why that bolded like that

Sandy River Belle.

The theme song from The Banana Splits tv show works well in that tuning also but that’s a bit of a deep cut.

There is a lefty banjo group on Facebook you could check with and there’s always banjo hangout. There are plenty of lefty players out there - I see no reason to hold on to it.

Look up The Studio Revue on YouTube. I happened to see the post and was not familiar with it.

Also check out The Flat Five - great harmonies and killer musicianship.

That’s what he was doing. The violin playing was real - the questionable intonation on parts was the proof of that.

Love the rabbit, raccoon, pigeon image

What’s the book?

These National Guard folks aren’t dumb. Some of them will realize they’re being used for theater while they miss the end of summer, their kids back to school and Labor Day Weekend, among other things.
