I imagine quite a few of you have had your fair share of cold frosty morn’s lately.

Some of you have probably had more than that.

So rather than rage in futility against ol’ man winter, might as well embrace it. Heck, might as well even play a tune about him!

Like Cold Frosty Morn.

There’s much to like about this tune. It’s not especially notey, and so not too tricky to pick out. And, it sounds best at a slow to moderate pace.

So just play it clean and easy, and let the beauty of the “modal” tuned banjo steal the show.
