Thank you kindly for all your comments - sorry if I can't respond to you all individually - but I will try !!
The world needs more music like this
Most of us die twice. Once when we leave our bodies, and the second when our names are forgotten .Dave Hum has gained immortality, his music, his name (the essence of who he is) will live forever. Now he plays in the halls of Odin.
The power of the banjo and Dave Hum
Dave Hum came and went from this life but not before leaving some treasure. Seeing this brings joy and tears at the same time.
The world was a better place with dave hum in it,he is missed
...and shortly after that, I came by, heard Dave playing, had a chat and bought his cd. (Also have a Huckleberries cd) ~ Was off next day to Japan and drove around listening to Dave's banjo. Three months later returned and was shocked to find (from one of his fellow buskers) that he'd passed away. This is a fitting tribute to him - I believe that he loved busking; to have people spontaneously get up and dance to your music (and drop coins into your cup) - what could be better? A fine banjo player. Tragic loss.
What a wonderful video, all that loving energy around Dave. The world still grieves at your passing, a hole remains where your music once was. Thank you for sharing you spirit with us Dave. I miss you my friend. When you looked over and smiled, a tear slipped from eye.
How WONDERFUL is this?
Rip bro, je pense qu il a dû vivre heureux de voir tant d inconnus l aimer et adorer son œuvre et son immense talent. Que la terre lui soit légère 🙏🙏
It´s unbelieveable how Dave was able to inject such energy into these young souls through his amazing banjo playing. He is surely being missed a lot!
the world's definetly a worse place without him
It has been said that the violin is the nearest instrument to the sound of a human singing. And likewise Dave Hum so now proves the banjo is the nearest sound to a human dancing. What a gift.
Dave seems to have adapted to his own unique style of picking. Wonderful musician missed by a lot of people.
God bless you Dave.
What a delightful gift to humanity Dave is. I use present tense as the spirit of his music lives on.
Though I must say the streets that were graced by his gift are probably a little quieter now and the lampposts are a bit lonely these days.
Though his return may not have increased his coffers I'm sure the smiles and the reactions from the crowds paid dividends that most of us cannot fathom.
You sure had a colourful life. RIP Dave
Quel magnifique joueur C est toujours un régal de l entendre jouer
Reposes en paix mon chmpion
Nice to see Dave smile at the end there , a little ray of sunshine in the street . RIP
this almost always makes my eyes well up..just joyful music and joyful youth.
:::-)
this video is actually what inspired me to not just wish I could play but to actually start playing banjo, Dave Hum was an amazing artist with the banjo. I could only dream of playing as beautifully as he does, but my goal is to learn this song, so far im just learning cripple creek, I have a long ways to go.
PRICELESS SHOW!! INSPIRED BY A GREAT MAN...I just knew about him recently . And, as far as I can see, he was so rich (in love) that he spent last years sharing it to others with his music/interpretations. And this will continue with these great videos...R.I.P. Dave.
Chester is not the same without this kind and talented artist...R.I.P....and God bless and protect your family....xx
This happened in May this year when my son was jamming playing banjo with fellow musicians. Young folk began dancing. Was wonderful
Beautiful playing dave you brought so much joy to the world miss you rip love from Ireland
Lovely to watch young people dancing to the old tunes.
What a moment for you Dave ,the jig and kids jave. You hooked me into learning banjo in Australia .
I am a 48 year old clawhamer banjo playing trucker ,Harley rider, and this vid makes me cry ....why...
In answer to your question, I am 72, play clawhammer (just) and this vid brings tears to my eyes too. Why, I think because it touches the inner soul. to see young people dancing for the simple joy of it. instead of heading off to beat somebody up or blow somebody to bits!. More of this entertainment and the world would be a much better place, for ALL of us.
42yo here and it does me too. One of my favourites of Dave's vids. I really enjoy seeing the people around him actually enjoying and participating with Dave...enjoying the gift of music he is sharing. Music really is a God given wonder that speaks to our soul. Like many others I see comment on his videos, certainly, he wound up my interest in banjo (sufficiently to finally kick start). RIP Dave, thanks for the gift you've left us with.
+anthony taylor Very well spoken, Sir
I'm a 50 year old cynical hard ass and I got a lump in my throat and watery eyes. Damn shame the world is headed the way it is. We need more spontaneous joy like this in the world.
Well. if you like banjo's & young & not so young people clog dancing, then try this one if you haven't already : " Old Time Dance Party" at Augusta Heritage Centre. Some great playing & great dancers. I always play it after a hard day.
Nice music graced by lively , young women were indeed a heartwarming sight.
I come back occasionally and watch this wonderful vid....Dave made everyone feel like doing this, the youth seen here (and often the wee sprite, his daughter) acted on the emotion, and I just love this,....Dave, is sorely missed,..I'm sure there is pickin' n' strummin' and spontaneous dance going on in higher places, since he left this world. Kind wishes to his family this Christmas, take joy knowing your Husband and Dad brought such joy (and music therapy) to SO many folks. Love from out west, Laurie
cinderellalifestyle I couldn't agree more. I lived in Bournemouth in the 90'sand would often see Dave play around the town, sometimes with The Huckleberries and sometimes alone. I could never walk past and just was transfixed at what a talented man he was. I decided today to search youtube and see if I could find some Huckleberry videos. Then I learnt that Dave had sadly passed away. He gave so many people such pleasure. In a time when the World is full of such evil acts, people like Dave Hum bring back and realize that there are truly some amazing people . Rest in Peace Dave - simply you gave me such happy times.
*****
his grace and dignity even in passing was amazing, inspiring. And his story of suffering a health issue earlier on which affected his arms and hands then his working around that, overcoming the setbacks to keep playing music always touched me. Be sure and look to his website too; he was not only talented as a musician but also an artist and very web/tech savvy. :-)
His music will last forever.
RIP Dave.
thanks Dave where ever you are
Good to see people enjoying your great music.
Just gorgeous banjo playing. Rock on Dave Hum!
Great music, great kids.. sometimes super things just happen.
Such a happy video! :)
That was just magical, Dave cast a spell on people. I wonder what these young ladies are doing now?
What an inspiration!
I wish that people can dance like this spontaneous in
the future in every country in our world
In Texas, we call that "The chicken dance"! Lol! It's good to see the youngins feeling their oats! Better to see you, Dave. It's been a while. You're sounding and looking good as ever! Nan
Re Mateo Muniz - Same here..could not agree more..R.I.P .Dave
J'aime bien vous écouter,
merci pour cette musique.
Excellent Dave! ;-)
wonderful picking Dave
Those magics moments...
I'm so happy you did that
I WANT TO BE LIKE HIM WHEN I GROW UP
Great vid.
Why Guinness Stout should be served at all public water fountains.

Merry Christmas Dave & family
The man!!!!
Wow oh wow
that`s y i came to America~`creativity ~, but then they asked for my credit score, the rest is history
beautiful! :-)
love your tuning
NiceNiceNice. I'm sure that made your Day. It made mine !
I really like to watch the girl with the white hooded top and black jeans she's great, but then they all are.
I'd buy 'em all a beer after that.
Me likee!
+Liche Christ
me likee too
I thought he was playing Crazy Train at first lmao
I just discovered Dave Hum....love his music! Could someone tell me, is he playing Claw hammer style ? Or Scruggs style?
His style combines, Scruggs, Classic banjo and Reno... his hand position is unique and is the result of cancer that effected his hands and eventually took him...one of the great banjo players from us.
why does the crowd always end up getting off time with the clap and its not just this one particular crowd either it happens everywhere lol
Some of them old hippies ought to get in the act with the millennials.
They are dancing completely out of the music beat.
not as good as irish dance but cool
ok great that they dance to this great man's music, but shows they never learned what dancing is - they wanna act like little britney spears, that's not decent dancing - disgusting, they should teach dancing for girls (and boys) of the old west in the schools - but again, everyone should be dancing like but nobody today respects real music or any art for that matter, so they just sit there like morons. so another great man is gone who CAN NOT be substituted... soon the world will be left with total idiots who can't dance, play real music like dave or know anything proper, just jump around like britney spears... oh, I'm under the age of 30 so don't go off on a rant, there are people who love tradition and are young... just sayin
Well then its up to you and your genberation to keep Irish trad and Scottish trad alive...
