Jambalya



This was the first song I learned on the Banjo, and I actually play it slower than this- as a ballad- after learning to play it the right way. Outside the city (New Orleans) was fun, I spent a week in a cabin on the other side of  
Lake Pontchartrain out in the swampy bottoms and Lamont and I went out to a couple of little town festivals. A couple and I used to go fishing. Anyhow this is the song I'm going to play at my first open mike night next month. Got some others, but this fits well- written by a man who also barely knew the region and written with only a few notes.
