ah, Google! my friend!

Happiness is finding the tab for "Bile Dem Cabbage Down," as that's the tune for "Down In The Arkansas," which I fell in love with while listening to the re-issue of Jimmy Driftwood's Voice of the People. I strongly recommend that album to anyone who thinks that mountain folk are all backward and intolerant. And I just love Jimmy's voice. I'm not holding my breath for the tab for "Straighten Out My Laig," awesome as that would be.

I'm also pleased to find some fancy (read: complicated) tab for "Cripple Creek" since I still can't my own copy. Looks like a good time to learn how to execute a hammer-on, since I'm already familiar with the tune.

I think I've settled on buying a banjo Fiddlewidget. Kinda reminds me of those stickers you used to be able to get to put on the neck of your guitar. I remember seeing infomercials for stuff like that.
