5-string players looking for hard-to-find tablatures: I've just restored and posted "Tom Joad's" Clawhammer Tablature pages. (Yes, 3-finger and 4-finger pickers can figure most of them out, too.) Tom Joad was really Chris Erswell, a UK folk musician who was active in the online 5-string community in the early 2000s. Many folks got good use out of his tabs and were disappointed when the server Chris was using died and the files were never reposted. By doing a sort of scavenger hunt around the Internet, I have been able to track down and repost all but a handful of the files that I was aware of. The end result is here: https://creekdontrise.com/tabs_instr/ba ... /index.htm Please let me know if you have any of the remaining "missing files" or have any comments, criticisms, etc.

The restored Tabs list is below. All of them have TablEdit tab layouts, so if you have TablEdit, you can tweak them yourself or export to MIDI files to hear. Most of them have .mp3s of a real live banjo playing the part (sometimes accompanied by other instruments).

Again, the page that lists these all is here: https://creekdontrise.com/tabs_instr/ba ... lature.htm
