Made famous by Les Paul and Mary Ford (check youtube), and brought into bluegrass in the 1970s by Walter Hensley (again, check youtube), this may be the first clawhammer--make that clawjazz--version of this fabulous tune.

That's another intercontinental job with Don on plectrum banjo & me on tenor banjo: each one recorded his part at home, Don in Australia, myself in Italy. We enjoyed a lot!

This is my "coming out" recording, as my first upload. In support of the tab I posted, it's my transcription of Django's guitar part to banjo. 1st two rounds are Djangos notes, then a couple of rounds of me trying to be gypsyish, then Django again. Recorded through laptop mic onto a Realband backing track.

''Lance Maquire,'' a good tenor banjo playin' old mate of mine, had a copy of this tune, played by ''Harry.' I'd never heard it before, and liked it a lot, so I'm posting it here, so you can have a listen. 21/5/14 I'm sorry for misleading you! but this is ''Lance Maquire'' playin' this, and not ''Harry Reser.'' Take a bow ''Lance,'' well played.

Eddie Kebabjian and I playing Autumn Leaves. I play both banjo parts, Eddy plays guitar and bass. There is a little multi tracking here so we could play all the parts ourselves. There is 2 tenor banjos and a bass and guitar with some guitar fills on another track.

Me and the Americana Ensemble class at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music giving St. James Infirmary a go (Oct 2013). I'm practicing soloing and rolls. It's a wonderful class full of nice, wickedly talented people. http://www.oldtownschool.org/classes/detail/?courseid=3609
