  • Won't Back Down! This song was stuck in my head, so on a whim I tried it out on the banjo and it worked surprisingly well! I think this is the third Tom Petty banjo cover I've done here; evidently his songs translate well to banjo.
    Please excuse the sorry state of my hair here. I got glue in my hair (long story), and I think I've got the world's worst case of bedhead now. The had did not hide as much as I thought it would lol.
    I'm in G tuning here. I also finally got a decent mic for outdoor recording! It came with a little wind shield thingy, so hopefully I can get a good sound at exciting locations like the beach that I've been wanting to try! Very grateful for this new gear!

    Banjo pickers seem to be genuine people. They are just who they are. Nothing more, nothing less. That was also the perfect description of my husband. He was a banjo picker. Stay genuine Phoebe only I do not believe you could be anything other than just who you are.

    A song stuck in your head and glue stuck in your hair, but everything's fine cause you won't back down! And now the song's stuck in my head, which is a good thing because your version is awesome.

    This made my night, made me really happy. They sing this at University of Florida where Tom Petty was from. I “dropped out” for a while but this makes me want to go back and resume classes.
    You covered the song beautifully, you really conveyed the spirit and the message behind the lyrics and played it so freely with such confidence.
    You definitely stood your ground.

    You have a foxtail fern! I have two of them, named Aspar and Gus (since they're also known as asparagus ferns), that I picked up looking sad and cold in the sunless back of a grocery store in rural Texas a decade ago. They're still hanging in there today! I always notice them in other people's gardens.

    • @d.randal.h
      @d.randal.h Před 2 měsíci

      That's a great story, and I love it, but I have to admit the first thing that popped into my mind was the movie "The Lonely Guy" starring banjo-picking great Steve Martin. I saw Steve in a small venue in the early '70s before he became famous while he was still performing standup with his banjo.

    This was awesome. Love Tom Petty and I Won't Back Down, and pairing it with the banjo, made this cover just perfect.Thanks so much for sharing it with us despite your hair! Honestly, it just looked like it was hot out when you were recording as it's definitely been picking up here in Arizona. Stay cool and hydrated! :D

    That is a great adaptation. It’s true to Tom Petty’s classic and you added a great twist to it. Very nice job. I really miss Tom Petty. Thank you. P.S. Both dogs went in the house together. When they came out, one had a wallet in her mouth and the other one had some jewelry. Keep your eyes on um.

    My husband and I enjoyed this very much this morning! He had never heard you before! Well, I fixed that.
    I heard you
    on the radio today! I only listen to the radio in the car and I was running an errand, and there you were on WHUS, Storrs, Connecticut. 😃👍👏🌞 I love that your cute doggy was wagging her tail so enthusiastically.
    You are amazing!
