[banjohombre]

She's wicked good!

Kudos to Katie

[swilsonnnc]

WOW..... speechless..... THAT WAS AWESOME.... I would love to have a 10th of the talent that young lady has......

[nicksgrandad]

There are very few older people who can play OBS that well.

[jtpgz523]

OUT...FLOGGIN'...STANDING!!! I was in orchestra for 5 years throughout Middle and High school, and I met -one person- who could do -maybe- three lines of the opening to OBS, and at a slower pace.

[fuelguzzlerdk]

Lovely ... sure is a favorite, thanks alot for sharing :)

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

It's a lot tougher than it looks, which is what makes these guys pros... they make it look easy and fun!

Nice job, gang - thoroughly enjoyed that.

[FaithfulHermit]

THAT is what music should be about. People having fun playing and allowing others to shine. I've always kinda thought that bluegrass jams were the most democratic kind of music. Anyone who wants to can have a solo, but it's the magic that happens when everyone plays that counts. I remember walking through local fairs and seeing random people just jamming together. Anyone could join - just pull up a chair and strum.

[Tyler380]

Eloquently said..

[Lawyerdude]

Excellent.  That girl can play!

[AnalMart]

She has to be 8 or 9 too.

I've heard countless versions of this song. Only the Stanley Brothers can do it better.

[happyypanda]

shes actually 13 or 14!

[agates11]

No, she was 10 at the time...

[valstar01]

This was so good it brought tears to my eyes! WOW! I was grinnin' the whole song.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Lots of fun. thks for sharing

AURORA.

[AlrightYessir]

Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!

[fdlstx]

a tad snooty are we? could it be wise minds know the joy and recognize the virtues of simple, as well as appreciate different strokes for different folks??????

[agates11]

Simple, Orange Blossom Special is simple, Ok...let's see you pull it off......

that's what I thought...

[mlevar1717]

[lonelywan]

My band is trying to do some bluegrass. We've got all the parts down perfect but something is not right. Might be the electric instruments.

See our song "Come On Day" at our webpage. Any advice would be appreciated.

[rkmugen]

Sweet!!!!

-Як൬ບງêñ

[houndman6]

Bravo!!!!!!!

[simonne234]

wow this is great....everyone is having so much fun.....I can't believe this....they're so so so good.....someone to keep bluegrass going after this generation...

[dreadnought45]

Great pickin' by all. And the girls are so cute too.

[truckereleven]

I am so glad to see that the youth of our nation are going to carry on the bluegrass tradition after we are gone. Wonderful video.

[MonetteBooks]

Fabulous fiddling! Sure wish I could do that. They're all so good.

[biografmand]

She's just so coool !

[ServeInLove]

We were enjoying this video and saw the name Scott Gates. That's when it hit us our son knew Scott in 3rd grade, and we have a school talent show video of him playing then. :) How fun!

[cybergal00]

I would have liked to hear the banjo picker...lol He was kind of drowned out.

[ronjinsan]

This is some really talented kids having real fun! Awesome.........

[calaylatochsa]

do you guys live in orange county by any chance?

[agates11]

Actually Scott is from the Victorville area, the rest of the band is from Vacaville, San Diego and Santa Cruz......

All over the pacific Coast, hence the band name...

[DAVEUSE]

I would still like to to visit the UK or Dallas! Wonderful stuff. Try and keep it up.

Thanks again.

[mollyrose1956]

Wonderful!

[nattybumple]

wow that chick rocks the fiddle, the whole bunch of them are amazing

[fridrikur]

fantastic

[gruntbushpig]

Dont you just love it inm in heavern

[quinoacat]

First Rate fiddling from young Katie. I loved the humor from both her and the Mandolinist.

[wcd47]

More than awsom. At 55 and doing the music thing for 6 yrs in the 70's they are more than great. Best luck to all.

[hummersmstr]

.................. jaw dropping, fuckin hell she is good. I used to play the Violin, making me think about getting into the fiddle, damn she is good.

[DAVEUSE]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE UK AND DALLAS

[philgoody]

marvelous

[skrandoelli]

great!

[kylet92]

great stuff, im from kentucky and am in a bluegrass band myself, and i think you guys played great. keep it up.

[itaibh1]

its sound like when Bugs Bunny running away from Yosemite Sam.

this is the first time i hear bluegrass. sounds great.

[LeovonKlenze]

Music is the best and musically gifted children are even better - but can't anyone advise them, to dress more nicely?

They look as if they had been clad by the remains of the red cross's collection...

[agates11]

Choices in life have to be made, and these kids made the choice for music over designer clothing. Would you like to donate funds for a band wardrobe? It would be significantly less than what it has taken to support their talents in master music professors -- but a choice had to be made. Please advise.

[DAVEUSE]

Fanastic as ever. Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!!

[DAVEUSE]

Hi its me again. As you know I like your music. Like Math, music is an International language. THE VERY BEST FOR THE FUTURE.

[DAVEUSE]

Contact the British Archives of Country Music.

[DAVEUSE]

I think this band is fantastic, they seem genuine young people who wish to do well.

Please let me know if you are ever in the UK

or Dallas TX.

[macabreminds]

THANK YOU! We'd love to be either place! You can look up their web site by searching Pacific Ocean Bluegrass or Scott Gates

[DAVEUSE]

Thanks, I will look these up. You all deserve to make it to Nashville.

[theblueswolf]

great!!!!

grettings from argentina

[Leoguitarrocker]

holy shit this children are great!!!!!!

[rickydisco]

how can this not make you smile and tap your foot,,,,,,,

[osheatunes]

Soooo...I randomly clicked on this cause I recognized the band...and what do I see but Katie! I didn't know she was in that band! lol, it was a surprise. haha, we've been going to the same fiddle camp for like 7 years, XD

[signtalkmg]

She used to be in POB - she's crazy busy with other music now --- check out her other youtubes, Katie is amazing!

[nikakdem]

I think it was Confucius(an Asian) that said (it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt}. It would be wonderful if we all could just be Americans without the prefix. It was wonderful playing and a great preformance.

[agates11]

Amen..well said

[joebubaus]

Pretty impressed by young people playing fantastic blue grass. I came to America at 28 in 1976, but I soon fell in love with old country music. Any one can love blue grass regardless of race and age. These young group shows it.

[bigdjindustriez]

omg she's asian that means she can't play bluegrass. Idiots. Asians are actually great musicians, do you think Yo Yo Ma is a texan? no. Who cares what the race is, good video

[ozjenva]

Fantastic mix of great bluegrass and young happy people playing it so well!! thank you.

[voxxer1]

Fantastic!

[Loublackler]

I love the video! Keep it up guys!

[atholee]

yes remind me of home

[S00nforgotten]

Superb!

[javierahumada]

Blamey! this ladds sure can play

[Lordlako]

This my friends is the future of bluegrass and let me tell you it warms my heart to see BG will be around another generation!

[willmalloff]

Absolutely wonderful and heart warming young people and bluegrass, thank you

[kodaxrose]

that was great

[fredcase03]

wow

[myrnaukelele]

Fabulous fiddling! and the mandolin player's really good- these kids are great!

[EMTech118]

this is ridiculously amazing, wow!

[InLineRecordSource]

Nice !!! I love this song. for some more good ol' country / bluegrass music check out ray riddle on myspace. do a search for his name. You won't be disappointed if you do...

[vestamo]

How old are these kids they are amazing...

[agates11]

Scott is 14, Katie is 12, the rest are 16 and 17

[love2lickabbw]

You go girl!! I love to see youger generations of kids into Bluegrass.

[kitkatyt]

This violin-playing Katie is very impressed with that violin-playing Katie. Also, more Angelica Grim on gigs! She's got amazing stage presence (both while playing and with her timing/delivery in taking the microphone) and plays well with your band.

[agates11]

I agree but she has left to puruse other interests and we wish her well. Our new lead singer rocks and has a beautiful pure voice, check out our other videos

[JCMELKOR]

Go Katie!

[flufferstuff]

excellent! thanks for sharing! :)

[vudukungfu]

the asian musical referance was hot, and well done.

She's a natch.

[TubeKnow]

what a talent! luv

[kjrkdavis]

Wow! Very talented kids! Way to go!

[sweetolelady]

A rose is a rose no matter by what name it goes, the smell is just as sweet.

[FallingDownMountains]

Whatever, I'm not racist or anything (just assuming you guys think that) but it's just strange to see an asian playing a tune that was played during an early American war...

[agates11]

What war? This is the Orange Blossom Special, a song about a train that carried oranges from Florida up to New york... Not a song during a war really and who cares wether she is Asian or eskimo? She is great! Leave it at that...

[cslreepicheep]

Sure sound racist to me. Can't you even compliment the girl on playing a wonderful piece? Why even bring up race, which is kind of dumb anyway because we are all part of the human race.

[dkbradbury12]

You kids ROCK! Way to go!

[akdickinson]

two things, it never ceases to amaze me how many talented kids are out there and are using their talents instead hanging out in the neighborhood causing trouble. two, it never ceases to amaze me how people love to try and knock others because they themselves have no more talent than a carrot. kids rock!!!!

[FallingDownMountains]

I can play mandolin pretty well and fiddle ok (not as good as the asian) but I just hate how our heritage is turned into a cliche

[ralmasol]

it has been said over and over again," music is the universal language",it does'nt matter if you play mozart's pieces with a plant leaf, as long as you give people cheers and laughter,that's all that matters, even if you're a tibetan monk or a rock singer,it all ends up in music....

[theMello99]

Is that the girl from king of the hill?

[FallingDownMountains]

She's Asian... she's supposed to play it Violin style not Fiddle style... what is happening?

[signtalkmg]

Recalling Honest Abe's words: It's better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

[FallingDownMountains]

Asian's don't play bluegrass, it's not in our HERITAGE.

[hollywoodrama]

but Katie does! Ya oughtta see her play classical violin!

[Snarkymom]

As if classical western violin is of Asian "heritage." What are you even talking about?

[cslreepicheep]

She's a human being before she's Asian, and she can play anything she would like to set her mind to.

[cslreepicheep]

I think You have really fallen down a mountain with that comment.

[illusionist1956]

FABULOUS .

[diptanshu]

Katie Nakamura.. you are awesome

[mistyamanda222]

All of the kids do a great job. That take's real talent. Very nice!!!!!

[joosangbai]

[RockyRoader]

Great stuff! If you're ever in Ireland, look us up in Sixmilebridge - That kind of playing goes down a treat!

[stringplayer07]
