The vamp is a risk, musically. It's like a breakdown except that it goes on for a whole verse. Anyhow, yup, classicbanjo.com... I've come across it in the past.

Thanks! I like the vamp in the middle, gives it a nice character. If you haven't already, check out classicbanjo.com for more about upper-class banjo in the late 19th. c. Best, and keep playing, Chris. Hey, Lucas, I haven’t been here for awhile, but very nice recording of Africa Polka. Thanks! I like the vamp in the middle, gives it a nice character.
