Songs with clawhammer banjo, from Pat Kelleher

Thanks to Pat Kelleher of Dripsey, Co. Cork, for letting the BIB use these videos of his clawhammer-banjo arrangements for two songs: 'Wayfaring stranger' (above) and Elizabeth 'Libba' Cotten's 'Freight train' (below). The banjo shown here has the normal length of neck; Pat is highly regarded for his long-neck-banjo playing.
