There are countless versions of "Bonaparte's Retreat" floating around in ether. This one here, especially the singing, was inspired by the great Ola Belle Reed off her album "Rising Sun Melodies." The arrangement here is classified as a Brainjo Level 3 (read about the levels at clawhammerbanjo.net/levels). Tuning is double D, or "aDADE", on a steel string banjo, but tuned down here on the gourd to about double F#.
