On the day this video was supposed to come out I uploaded this instead. It's unlisted now but here's the link: https://youtu.be/wC9QTHv2eQ4

I should also mention that half way through recording this I thought to myself "this song works so well on banjo, can't believe it's never been done before!" so I searched it and sure enough there's already a much better version then mine on YouTube. Steve'n'Seagulls beat me to it. Cheers fellas!
