Play 'Dat' Banjar Martin "Banjo Man" Liebschner, Jr.
All Instrumental

You can't help but rattle along with this collection of 22 eminently bone-able tunes from the 18th and 19th century.

Sticklers for detail can tell you that although Red Wing was a pop hit in the 20th century (1907) by Kerry Mills, he adapted the tune from The Happy Farmer, aka The Merry Peasant, aka Frohlicher Landmann, originally written by Robert Schumann in 1848. (Mills also wrote Meet Me In Saint Louis, Louis which was a pop tune in 1904 and a hit with the release of its movie namesake in 1944.)

Vintage Tunes Played on Vintage Instruments
This CD represents music from the 18th and 19th century using four uniquely original 19th century banjos. "I don't use any modern recording method," says Marty.

You Won't Find this Rare CD at the Local Music Store
