Thank Ginny for this great clip. It is interesting to note that Johnny seems
to use mostly the four lower strings in his playing which gave him more of a
tenor banjo sound. That is perhaps the reason why people sometimes claim
that he played the four string tenor banjo. Unfortunately at least when I
watch the clip, the sound was slightly out of sync.

All the best for the New Year to all of you on this list from a snow free
Stockholm and were my roses are still in full blossom. Strange indeed.
Ulf
