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:
@@HistoryBoy Stop now ! You are TOO kind, young feller ! (I think I'm blushing...) (O: I am very pleased to have played a part in your reenacting experience, and especially at the beginning of your (Civil War) musical journey. I have no doubt there will be more and better to come. I look forward to watching it unfold... God bless.
What, a Yankee singing a song about Southern state? Reminiscent of Lincoln having the band play Dixie, following the news of Lee’s surrender. we need more of that today.
My humblest and most appreciative - thank you, from Connecticut! Your compliment on my own banjo playing means a great deal, as I have been working hard to hone the craft for over a year, more specifically working on this song.
That is a huge compliment Michael. Thank you so kindly for your words. I work on it around an hour every day - or more if I can help it! Practice makes perfect… what is it- 10,000 hours…
Appreciate that Shawn. You have been here since the beginning- here is to many more years on the channel! That being said… maybe it’s time for a name change? Not quite a boy anymore.
Thanks so much man… Huge compliment coming from you. I’ve studied your recordings of the song for too many hours 😂 P.S - as your voice is most similar to mine, I modeled all of my singing after you. This is the first song I learned to play on the banjo. Began the second Clif uploaded the tab.
@@knoxmassey6822 that is so kind of you man. That means a lot. Seriously. And thank you - looking forward to seeing the tutorial - If you like “Riding a Raid” perhaps look into “Jine the Cavalry!” It’s not quite as good… still catchy though.
DUDE! You sound fantastic! Love me the sound of that minstrel, what make is it? Also, I’m from Connecticut as well. You play often in the area? Would love to see you perform sometime.

Practice makes perfect. ✌Übung macht den Meister - AS we, used to day in Germany.
say, sorry
@@martinbrode7131 Exsctly correct! I appreciate it! Thank you for viewing!
P.S - one of my favorite tunes is about the German immigrants fighting for the Union (written as a joke by an Irishman!) “We go to fight ‘mit Siegel!”
Quite nice, you’ve become an accomplished banjo player/singer.
That is a huge compliment Michael. Thank you so kindly for your words. I work on it around an hour every day - or more if I can help it! Practice makes perfect… what is it- 10,000 hours…

Thank you SO MUCH Mr. Chappell! A comment from you means the world. Your work has inspired every step of my learning of this tune.
