Anyone figured out the banjo part to Steve Earle & The Del McCoury Band's "Connemara Breakdown"? It's on their "Dixieland" album.

It's capo-ed to A for the banjo to compliment the fine mandolin and fiddle parts. The chords are then "held" as C G C G (x2)  F Bb F G C.

There's a bridge with possibly a Bbm F.

That's interesting.  About two weeks ago, I was playing with two guitars.  One guy recalled that song.  Later, I tried to listen to it on the web.  Could not find.  With those two guys, I just played forward rolls and forward-reverse rolls through the whole tune.  Forgot what key we were in.  I will be playing with this guy again, will ask him and get back to you.  It was on the album with the little birds and butterfles on  the cover.
