Earworm Alert

I’ve been messing around  trying to learn a tune called Westfork Gals on the banjo and damned if that melody isn’t stuck in my ever-so-small brain (I think of Pooh, saying “big words bother me”)…and it won’t go away. In times like these, the only thing to do is share. Please enjoy Westfork Gals. You may be enjoying it over and over again, just like me.

Here’s a version from Twisted Geezer…

And here’s another lovely version I found on the amazing YouTube machine…. featuring Ralph Roberts at a Clifftop campsite jam.

And here’s a banjo version by Don Couchie. I like this one a lot too…straightforward, but he sneaks in some swanky little ornamentations. Nice job.

      Since I started in with the banjo I can’t stop listening to all this hard-core old time material. It’s like I entered a whole different musical universe.

Have your say...
