    VERY well done, lad ! Energetically and faultlessly performed with self-assured sincerity, verve, and complete confidence !! (Not to mention that most uncommon quality to be found in a banjo player - a smile on his face while playing it). I can tell you've been hard-a-work on your instrument by the dark discoloration on the neck between the first and fourth positions and the 'tanning' of the skin head. I predict a bright future ahead... Keep on keepin' on !

      It is an absolute dream come true to receive praise from the greatest Civil War Stringband in modern history, and specifically- from my own banjo mentor. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. I am sure that you realize I have styled this video directly after your own “Far, Far, From Home” Series, with all of my musical inspiration and what power of performance I do have -learned from your own sincerity, verve, and confidence. I greatly appreciate that you have noted such an intimate and personal detail of the banjo - the instrument which you selected. The minstrel, by Boucher, shall be arriving this January - February.
      I would not be here without you, and that is without a single question. Thank you for the greatest YT comment, and truly compliment I have received in my own time on the earth.
      P.S - I shall continue to follow in your footsteps. (0:
