    I heard this version playing in my head, as I finally surrendered and dragged myself into rehab to take back my freedom from addiction. Your take on this fills one with hope, while not being afraid to acknowledge the pain. Thank you

    Lukas, your interpretation of Foster's tune has long been my favorite. It captures the essential southern soulful introspective he must indeed have had in mind when he composed this in the mid 19th century. The version you play today is sublime and so beautiful! You have evolved a distinct mastery in your unique style of playing this over the last few years. Thank you so much for posting.

    For anyone wondering, it looks like his banjo is tuned to Double C. Trying to piece it together

    I gotta tell you, this song, well your previous version is why I fell in love with the banjo, I bought one and started playing it, still learning but listening to this song helps me calm down and often moves me to tears, you are a great player, I aim to become a great player like you!

Now that I have time and most of the house projects are caught up, I’ll be working on this for awhile. Stay safe and be easy on yourselves, long way to go.......

  • @dakotahrickard
    @dakotahrickard Před rokem

    This is very pretty, and I'm glad I heard the song.
    I hope it's not too obnoxious or intrusive to ask, but I'm rather new to the banjo. I have a middling resonator model which I like well enough, but I keep hearing videos that ditch the very bright tone of most banjos for the mellower, warmer, maybe even darker tone of yours. I've looked into the comparison of resonators versus open-back, and I know that's part of it, but I'd appreciate any tips you might have for warming up my banjo.
    And I'm seriously a novice, so speak slowly? ;)

    your link provides no tablature anymore. That said, I'd happily buy a tablature book if you sold one having heard several renditions of your songs now. You have a beautiful method and I'd happily patronize it by buying a book if you ever put on out.
