Casey Henry
The requests for our new custom lesson service keep trickling in. I thought I’d post an updated list of all the songs I have available at this point (or will have soon, as I’m still in the process of recording them…)
Blue Ridge Cabin Home
Shuckin’ The Corn
Shenandoah Breakdown
John Henry
Doug’s Tune
Faithless Love (as recorded by Linda Ronstadt)
Whiskey Before Breakfast
Sally Johnson (the banjo backup as recorded by Doug Dillard)
Eight More Miles to Louisville
Give Me That Old Time Religion
Red Wing
Down Yonder
Dear Old Dixie
Just Because
Precious Memories
Washed in the Blood
I Am A Pilgrim
Just A Closer Walk With Thee
Old Rugged Cross
Wshew!! That’s quite a list. Some of the requests surprised me, but most are really good solid tunes that I think many people may be interested in. It has been fun coming up with simple, solid arrangements for the tunes and some of my live students have been willing guinnea pigs. The lessons are available for $30 per song by emailng me.

Casey, it’s a good thing that I scanned ’round these blogs a bit as I’m catching up because this is one entry I missed. I notice that the two custom lessons you prepared for me are in the listing. They are excellent lessons too, and that means this is a good list. All the songs/lessons listed above are in the Key of G, right? Do you get requests for songs in the Key of C? (Just don’t know how I missed this.)
Actually, Whiskey Before Breakfast is in D (capoed 2 played out of C position), and Just Because is in C. I just recorded a version of Tennessee Waltz in D, played open without a capo.
So I guess the answer is yes, I do get requests for songs in other keys.
What about John Henry? Is it also played in D, open without a capo?
Nope, it’s a G arrangement of it.
Yep, that’s good news.
Casey, I hope you’ll update this once more after your Nov. ’09 tour. I’m gonna order some from the above list after get back to Nashville and get rested up. The five I have are super good. Thanks.
Of course, in my comment just above, that’s “after you, Casey, gets back to Nashville.” Is it because there’s too much banjo on my mind!?
Sure thing!!
