Quite some time ago someone asked if I’d consider including this tune, the theme song for Winnie the Pooh, as a Tune of the Week selection.
At the time, I’m not sure I could recall the melody itself, even though it’s one I’ve known since childhood. So I filed it away for possible future retrieval.
Recently, upon hearing my daughter play it on the piano, the file resurfaced from its resting place in my neuronal crevices.
I grabbed the banjo and, lo and behold, it sounds great! It’s a natural fit for clawhammer and for double C tuning, to boot.
It’s an infectious tune, which comes as no surprise given it was written by perhaps my favorite songwriting team of all time, The Sherman Brothers. And it happens to be very well suited to clawhammer.
It’s also sure to bring smiles of recognition to all ages of faces. So I suggest you learn it, and meet me in the Hundred Acre Wood!
(NOTE: For those considering acquiring a Brainjo banjo, the banjo played in this video is a “Hobart” model. Click here if you’d like to learn more, or claim one in the next batch.
