Bart Veerman Five String Banjo Tablatures

Bart's Treasures

The following are some of the tunes by yours truly, they are listed in the order of the year I wrote them. A special thanks to Don Couchie, my old teacher, who got me going with the clawhammer style. I don't do a lot of three finger picking these days, clawhammer is not quite as loud and my ears appreciate the lower volume.

Stranger things have happened, but just in case you really like any of these tunes and you want to perform them live on jams, festivals or whatever, knock yerself out - you have my blessing and you won't be pestered by copyright sharks. Should you want to record them though, here's the deal: feel free to record any of these tunes provided that:

• they are performed only on bluegrass, old-time or folk style venues - contact me if unsure
• they are only recorded as bluegrass, old-time or folk style music - contact me if unsure
• you give me the proper credit on the CD, tape or whatever medium you recorded them on
• you produce 1,000 (one thousand), or less, copies of the CD, tape, or whatever medium
• you do not make the tunes available for free retrieval by the general public
• you mail me,at your expense, one (1) free copy of the CD, or whatever medium, my tunes are on autographed by any and all musicians playing on the recording

If you're famous enough that you need to produce more than 1,000 copies, hey, you're making money at it and in that case I'd be delighted to talk about licensing. If you're not famous I'm sure you agree it's pretty cool to finally be able to play/record some tunes that aren't tied up by an army of copyright lawyers and agents - live it up but don't forget to mail me my freebies so I get to enjoy what you've done with (or to...) my music.
