Wow!!! Thanks to everyone who has viewed this video. What in the world is going on? We never expected to have this many viewers for our little living room picking session. Sorry that comments were turned off when you came here, that was unintentional. They are back on now.
@@TheGrandmaDarlene Thanks Darlene! We put up a new video once a month or so. There are about 2 dozen on our channel now.
Love this. Great stuff. Thank you.
That’s not guitar playing. That’s guitar picking. A compliment by the way. And heck out that slide guitar!
Thanks Carl? I agree, I love playing with those guys. I'll pass on your compliments to Andy and Mark.
What talent! Genuine and truly beautiful. Regards from Canada.
Thanks Fergus! Maybe one of these days we'll get around to recording the Ookpik Waltz by your great Canadian fiddler, Frank Rodgers.
Wow what a great talent you guys are,More please.
Thank you so much Jenny, Cheers! We will post more, once a month or so.

Great job guys! My dad and I used to play this many years ago. Brought back many fond memories. I even can remember some of the words. Thanks again.
Thanks John. I always love to hear about music bringing back memories like that.

Nica, what a kind thing to say; we're very happy to hear that. Thanks for listening!
U guys should do more like this...
Thanks Reinhold! We put up something new once a month or so. There are a couple of dozen videos on our channel so far.
Sounds very very good in my ears... Regards from Denmark 🙂
Tak Boeffen! I did some touring and recording in Denmark back in 1976. Learned a couple of Danish fiddle tunes too. But I can't remember them anymore.
Lots of very creative links by the banjo player. His playing is very reminiscent of Eddie Adcock and sounds like his old Recording B model Epiphone. I think the tone is similar, as both are archtops with high tension on the skin.
Thanks Centerice! I love that banjo, just got it last summer, and never had an arch top before. I took some of the licks loosely from Raymond Fairchild. I think the rest are my own.
@@brunobruzzese234 Excellent melodious playing! "Musical maturity" dictates the choice of simpler, but more beautiful notes, over more difficult, albeit technically impressive, notes. Youngsters often tend to play as fast as possible, the same way they prefer their hearts to beat and their adrenaline to flow, but without regard generally, to musical taste. Pure speed impresses young musicians. Ah, the perspective of things appreciated through the veil of brightly burning youth... Eventually though, they get older and more mature. That maturity bleeds over into their music and they have an "artistic revelation." It comes to them, that perhaps faster does not necessarily SOUND BETTER. It hits every maturing young musician at some point, that the song they've been cracking out at breakneck speed, actually sounds better, when played a bit more slowly, so that the notes have time to strike the tympanic membrane, journey from there to the cerebrum and finally register on the human brain, thus revealing the melody. Looks from here like you've matured musically long ago! Bravo on your unique, original style of playing. PS. Loved the chimes.
@@michaelthornton8000 Wow! Thanks Michael, and very well written. We've got four new videos recorded, I've just got to make time to edit them and post them. Hoping to get one done tonight, Northern White Clouds with fiddle and mandolin.
Who is the banjo player? Thanks

There you can hear me sing and playing Banjo and Autoharp, too. Greeting from Germany. 😊
Nice! It’s fun hearing the five string used in a different genre. Are those German folk songs?
Yes, they are. I like to sing...
The Banjos, you can hear and sea are built by my husband
