"Year of Jubilo" Annie & Mac Old Time Music Moment

[mrclawhammer2011]

Love it!

[9lontoonieful1]

I like this one!

[mmordors]

I like your videos a lot.

I can't help notice how Ann looks at you, a bit in awe at what a wonderful musician you are, all the time never once looking at her fingers on the guitar and never once even missing the beat. Ergo she must also be a gifted musician in her own right. Keep up the good videos !

[fiddlefeller]

Love it, as usual, but you kept Annie's left hand partially out of camera range. Ouch.

[fonofidl]

This is mighty good! That's your right tempo right there!

[bushbeater59]

True American folk, the way it should be done!

[MatzeNuss]

Can see it again and again and again.......Thank God, I have a flatrate.

Happy new year !!!!

[annieandmac]

@MatzeNuss Happy new year - thanks for listening!

[harproli]

Wow, so a nice duett. Very well done

Roli

[MatzeNuss]

[annieandmac]

@PhiloAmericana Thank you!

[MrSantacm]

A terrific rendition of this classic- may as well be riding a time machine and can certainly imagine armed soldiers moving to it and perhaps singing it as well!

Nice to hear music from our past that does not require fireworks!

[annieandmac]

@MrSantacm Thanks for the message and comments! This is one of my favorites on harmonica or banjo.

Mac

[reb198]

[annieandmac]

@PearlJammers69 Thank you for all your kind responses to our videos!

Mac

[yugandali]

That is some fancy harmonica playing! The guitar is good and solid, but the harmonica is something else. Bravo!

Many thanks for your comments!

Mac

[annieandmac]

[SirCoughsalot]

Chubby Parker used to do this one. Now there was a banjo player. Y'all have a great version too, just like always.

[Oclino1]

We re-enactors call this song kingdom coming. if you look it up on here there are words to it as well. Awsome playing i am a big fan

[6thfifer]

This is great! I love this song, its one of my favortes.

[annieandmac]

One of our favorites too!! We'll do a version with guitar and banjo just for fun.

Mac

[la200o]

Please do!

[ScotchIrishFool1]

That is real mouth harp playing, with great control, and great rhythm on the guitar.

[Johndunbar116]

THIS IS SOOOOO AMAZING!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

I also play the harmonica, but you're a lot better, I was wondering if you had the sheet music or something for it, it would be great if you did.

[annieandmac]

Thanks for your message!! There is music notation in "The Fiddler's Fakebook" - All the best,

Mac

[hivolella]

Mr. Mac, I have used its musics in Blues Harp to exercise the Bluegrass. These musics in " Straight Harp" , in the first position of the Blues Harp, they are excellent therefore excuse Bends. Already I touch " reasonable; Garryowen" e thanks to its video arendo a little the technique and the style executes that you with as much perfection.

[annieandmac]

Thank you for the message and generous comments!!

Mac

[moosehunterr]

bless you folks,super music.tks.

[annieandmac]

We appreciate all your comments!!

Mac

[lissycarn]

Love it

[la200o]

Holy cow!, are you guys good! And you seem to be having so much fun.

[annieandmac]

We do have fun!! Thanks for commenting.

[hivolella]

Mr. Mac I am a great admirer of its style to touch Harmonica of mouth. He is perfect for the Folk and Bluegrass that Mr. executes with as much sensitivity. My favourites person or thing are " Crawdad Son" e " Chicken Reel". I touch a little of gaita, to the 56 years of age, and try to observe its dexterity to perfect a little. Already many musicians of gaita heard, but its style is special and is of congratulations.

Ivolella - Brazil

[annieandmac]

Many thanks for your message and comments!!

All the best,

Mac

[Daddymccourt]

Mouth organ in Bluegrass??

[hivolella]

Mr. Daddy, In Brazil the gaita of mouth is known as Gaita Blues (Blues Harp). We have many musicians of blues. But we do not have musicians of Country Music, nor of Bluegrass (my preferred style). This term " Agency of mouth in Bluegrass" I did not know and I must be an expression of more correct language, spoken in the South of the E.U.A, where if he touches Bluegrass. I thank its comment.

[reb198]

fantastic guys ty

[annieandmac]

Thank you !!!

[kisame2590]

wow....excellent..........wow

[SummerRkl]

You folks "is"doin' a service by keepin' "them" ol' tunes alive.

[annieandmac]

Thank you!! we're havin' fun!!

[Mandolin1944]

Hi

I worked up the song for the mandolin using your video as a guide -- thanks for posting its a great tune and you always do a such a fine presentation of these tunes.

It Jubilo usually done in the key of C though? I think most fiddlers use D don't they -- maybe you happened to have a C-harp handy?

But its nice in C actually -- I'm thinking it might pair nice with Billy in the low ground for a set?

Thanks

[annieandmac]

Thanks for the great message!! You're right - fiddlers like to do this in D. Can't tell you why we did it in C this time but it is nice there. Another good pairing might be Johnson Boys. My friend Speedy Tolliver likes to fiddle that one in C.

Mac

[LegallyMoi]

That was SOOOOOOOOO AWSOME!!! WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO PLAY HARMONICA LIKE THAT? My first sgt. in my reenacting group is pretty good but not as AWSOME as you!

[annieandmac]

Thanks for those comments!!

Mac

[LastCityCowboy]

I hope to find a wife like you ...

You are a wonderful pair ...

congratulations.

[annieandmac]

Excellent! Real Americana!

[annieandmac]

Thank you for the comments!!!

[AppalachianNoir]

Nice, I play this on banjo, but I think my "B" part is different than yours. Interesting how things get changed over time...

[annieandmac]

Thanks!! The 2ND South Carolina String Band has a great version with vocals - they might be on youtube.

Best

[thatcrazychick7]

That's so nice. I'm just learning this on the banjo. Simon

[annieandmac]

Thank you Simon!! It's a great tune on the banjo too.

[kwgoff23]

[moosehunterr]

i just love that tune, thank you.

[annieandmac]

Thank you for the comments!! We will probably post a guitar/banjo version in the near future.

[pnj4130]

you two are awsome.

[annieandmac]

Thank you for that comment!!!

[BenAliGtor]

The lyrics were written by Henry Clay Wourk. While some may now deem them racist, remember that Wourk favored abolitionism. In the song, the slave owner turns tail and runs when the "Lincum gunboats" appear, and the slaves take over the plantation, drinking wine and cider while locking the slave overseer in a celler and tossing the keys down a well.

Chorus:

"De massa run- ha haa! De darkies stay- ho ho! And it must be now dere's a kingdom comin' In the Year of Jubilo!"

Nice job!

[annieandmac]

Thanks for all that good info and your comments too!!

[RaptorFarmer]

Has a realy nice homey sound to it.

When I hear it I feel like I'm near a warm fire, literaly.

[annieandmac]

Thank for those great comments!!

[whitetigerlily31]

thanks for posting this or else we would have spent forever trying to figure out what song the southern wolf was whistlin' :)

[annieandmac]

Thanks for commenting!! Tell me about the southern wolf.

[whitetigerlily31]

He was this Hilarious wolf that appeared in a few of the Droopy cartoons. You can find some of his videos on here if you look but they usually get taken off pretty quickly.

[annieandmac]

Thanks - I'll keep an eye out for Droopy.

[TennesseeShine]

Look up the lyrics if you haven't already. They're hilarious but I suppose very politically incorrect in the present day. Year of Jubilo was a minstrel song that became enormously popular in the South after the War Betwen the States even though it equally mocks ol' Massa and the black Contraband alike.

[Connellphotos]

Good stuff!!

[annieandmac]

Thanks for the comment!!

[OldTimeSoul]

(...)

I just wanna say that when i saw all your videos here in YouTube, I feel happy, joy, peace and all that simple good feelings that this music can give!

it's very sad that many people maybe will never hear this beautiful music and feel this beautiful feelings!

You play great! go on in this way and let me dream every time I hear you!

thank you so much!

Martina

[annieandmac]

Thank you Martina and your old time soul!! Your words are kind and supportive. Keep playing and listening - old time music seems to be alive on the internet.

[OldTimeSoul]

Hi,

I really love your way to make music.

I'm an italian girl and i sing and play autoharp (here nobody knows it!)in an old-time music duo, with a very good guitarist.

Here, old-time american music is totally unknown, so we find lot of troubles for play it somewhere, in pubs or in other places...

(continue)

[dryan2902]

Annie & Mac.

Thank you for your talent & effort.

It took some computer searching & work to find the name of the song, I stumbled upon this video.

It was very well done. Thanks again.

I am grateful to have found it.

I love the "Droopy" cartoons & bought the comple collection on DVD.

Part of the chorus & the only words I remember were: "redemption & relief" Revisionists got to it between the Civil war & my grade school years.

[annieandmac]

Thanks for your comments. You have probably already discovered that the actual name of the tune is "Kingdom Coming".

[hucktunes]

Very very nice. Beautiful tune, one of my all time favorites. Nice old Martin, great sound.

[annieandmac]

Thank you. Actually the Martin D-15 is not that old. I bought it new about 4 years ago. It really does have a wonderful tone.

[achnamara]

Take care Mac - see my video response. Nice playing from you both.

[annieandmac]

Thanks for the response and video. I've got the same problem - hurts like the dickens -mostly when i get out the chromatic. Do you play "Garry Owen" ?

[achnamara]

Never tried Garry Owen. I'll give it a try soon. Merry Christmas from Scotland

[jgkovac]

good harpin' and a strummin

[annieandmac]

Thanks, we had fun doing it.

[BenAliGtor]

Nice rendition- but it really isn't a "traditional old time Appalachian mountain" tune: it was written during the Civil War about newly liberated slaves who get the upper hand on their former master & overseeer. Read the lyrics: not PC by our modern standards, but interesting and amusing.

[annieandmac]

Thanks for the comment. Ken Perlman noted that it was written in 1872 by Henry C. Work. Fits more into Americana or American Roots.

[annieandmac]

Just this afternoon I found an 1889 songbook at a used bookstore in town. It had this piece by H.C. Work titled "Kingdom Coming" written in 1861. Thanks again.

[coriolan92isback]

Awesome! Let me just regret you cannot frail your banjo when playing the harp ...
