Episode 41: Tim Rowell (Will Teach You How to Play Banjo)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! I hope you’re ready for more banjo duets, because this week’s friend is Tim Rowell! Tim’s a fantastic clawhammer banjoist, tune collector, and educator, and we had an awesome time hanging out in Bach Bui’s apartment in Boston. And Bach joins us for most of the tunes, kind of playing fiddle back up while we take the melody; it’s awesome. Tunes we’ll play: Spider Bit the Baby Stump-tailed Dolly Lost Girl Glory in the Meetinghouse Hanings Farewell Half Irish Bonus Track: Willot’s Hornpipe Tim's website: https://timrowell.com/  Banjo Camp North: http://musiccampsnorth.com/2017-banjo-camp-north/  Support Get Up in the Cool on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecoolSupport Get Up in the Cool
