I play a banjo but I sort of subvert it further. Among other things, I 
play the Irish flute / tin whistle, mostly Irish rebel tunes which tend to 
be recycled traditional songs.

There was a perfectly good melody just laying around...

Anyway most of the material is in D or G. The Irish dlute has both C and 
C# so it works. The standard banjo tuning is G, so it's a natural. 

The Micks do their own thing with banjos.
