I don’t know who Bill Cheatham was, but the tune named after him has endured and has become a standard in both the old-time and bluegrass genres.

I videotaped some banjo practice tonight. Here’s me, attempting the old-time Bill Cheatham on clawhammer banjo.

By the way….I’m still pretty new at the banjo but I’d love to find a fiddle player in the Toronto area to make some jam with. Contact me through this blog if you’re interested.
