I love to hear the progression of your daughter's singing, she has a great harmony! Keep her interested!!

[@robinmatyjasek7390]

Love the string squeeks...

[@WalterKerr]

Lovely playing and beautiful harmony too. That young lady is truly good.

[@ClawhammerBanjo]

Thank you, Walter! I feel similarly about that young lady :)

[@michaelmaddux5447]

Wonderful! Memories of John Hartford make my eyes wet and your harmonies would make him smile

[@ClawhammerBanjo]

Thanks so much, Michael. He was one of a kind.

[@calumsmith9191]

It always makes me smile when your daughter's in it!

[@Erik-qu4xc]

Wow I love this! Thank you so much

[@ClawhammerBanjo]

+Erik Lechtenberg you bet, Erik!

[@jimdennis4146]

Brilliant! The new "Song of the Week" is a wonderful idea. I have become too focused on fiddle tunes in my banjo practice. This is so refreshing. Thank you for all you do. Now if I can only get my daughter to sing with me....

[@J.Stuart]

Love it! Would be keen to see other John Hartford songs (his own, or traditional numbers) in future. Definitely a Hartford vibe to your performance.

[@ClawhammerBanjo]

+equazor thanks, really appreciate that.

[@Natalieforpope]

I've been watching these videos just to learn banjo but I'm now watching them jsut for the musical enjoyment of it - this is really good. CLose harmony singing is hard enough, but to get it so right is really impressive. Lovely stuff. CD next please :)

[@ClawhammerBanjo]

+Natalieforpope Thanks so much - appreciate the CD encouragement! :)

[@DanDDirges]

Sounds so great! New song for me-I`m luving it!

[@brianm1908]

Awesome job, both of you! Both of your vocals are strong you harmonize so well! Kudos!! Brian M

[@ClawhammerBanjo]

Thanks, Brian!

[@jmoathout1]

Thanks, Josh. Pretty tune I hadn't heard. I was trying to do the fingering with three fingers (no pinky), but watching the video, I'll bring-er in.

[@johnnybx3254]

Superb! I just ❤️ it! God Bless You!

[@ClawhammerBanjo]

+John Borgen thank you John!

[@ghostofhoward]

Yes! thank you for this one!

[@Freawulf]

Amazing! Kudos for keeping your old time music tradition alive and kicking. Greetz from Athens! (not the one in Georgia, the original one)

[@louiswiley6121]

Your daughter sings very well with you. She looks a lot like her daddy. I am going to try to learn clawhammer banjo, love your sites.

[@andywall8674]

I really enjoy your videos and i also subscribed for your tab-newsletter. It's quite hard to find good clawhammer tabs online so you helped me really out. Thank you!

[@ClawhammerBanjo]

My pleasure, Andreas - thanks so much for the kind words.

[@srnunan4783]

I was looking for those triplets all the way through,,, but never found them. They make the song to me

You and your (I guess) daughter make a perfect duo, if you don't perform on stage you should consider it, it would be awesome !

[@ClawhammerBanjo]
