    What an amazingly talented and lovely young lass. The thought that anyone out there might be saying rude and crude things about you, or any of your friends and family in these videos, is genuinely upsetting. Unfortunately it's the blessing and curse of the Internet. Look at all the comments in German and Russian, showing how banjo music played by a lass in the Appalachians (hope I have that right) is reaching the ears, hearts and minds of people all around the world, and giving them happiness. That the same thing could result in cruelty defies comprehension. Truly hope Steve Martin sees your videos someday; the man knows a thing or three about picking and am sure he would be thrilled to see one so young with so much skill. Keep up the amazing work, Margo!

    • @xxxxxxxx3476

      Well said .
      Everything you expressed within your comment I can only but agree with .
      There's no doubt about it , some people are strange , and often malicious .
      However we should always try to remember that they in the minority .
      Unfortunately there's no denying , that one fool with a pen , a spray can , or indeed a gun , can mess up a lot of others days .
      But isn't it funny how beauty , in all it's many shapes and forms , always outshines the bad times in the end .

    Здравствуй Марго.
    Пишу тебе из России.
    Когда я был ребенком я прочитал книгу Американской писательницы.
    "У меня в кармане сверчок".
    Книгу написала Ребекка Кодилл.
    В 1969 году.
    Если я не ошибся указывая дату.
    То что ты делаешь напомнило мне об этой книге.
    Тогда, в моем детстве, я представлял себе Америку именно такой, как Америку показываешь ты.
    Скалистые горы, пастбища, чистая вода, золотые осенние клены, бесконечные дороги и детский интерес к необьятному миру под небесами.
    Я учу детей рисовать.
    Мы рисуем окружающий мир.
    Реальность и фантазии о нём.
    Наслаждаюсь твоим ремеслом и талантом.
    Искры твоей музыки пробуждают во мне ребенка из далекого детства.
    Мы обязательно нарисуем девочку играющую на банджо.
    Разместим в рисунке всех её друзей.
    Овец, баранов, котов, собак, птиц...
    Всех, всех, всех...
    Спасибо за твой талант.

      Девочка делает музыкальный урок пения для маленьких ягнят.
      Вам необходим простой сценарий и монтаж.

    Love this! I got really hooked on Adam Hurt's version of this, which I play on my gourd banjo, but I never could understand that walk-down on the fourth string (in the A-part) until I heard this version of it. I couldn't understand why it didn't go all the way down to the open fourth string. All of a sudden the light went on! Thank you. Trying very hard not to be jealous of your skills, and (mostly) succeeding. Somehow it's easier when it's young people who appear to have born playing.😆🤣 Keep up the great work!!
