    Does anyone know of a recording of Pressed for Time on mandolin or banjo or variants?

    This turned out to be a bit of a silly question.
    I had been learning off a fiddler and accordion player, who were, I think, learning off the rather frantic sounding Flook, or Session A9, recording, and off the sheet music. I had worked out a serviceable way of playing it with them on banjo.
    When I went back and listened to Gordon Duncan's recording of it, there is a banjo sort of riffing very effectively on the melody below his pipes. The banjo player turns out to be Gerry O'Connor!
