[awilki1963]

This has got to be one of the best versions of this song I have ever heard, Brilliant.

[thenoodle48]

one of the best renditions i've heard of this song. you gentlemen make some excellent music. keep it up!

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Very cool.

I love the song.

George Vreeland Hill

[MrFrodo1066]

best version I've heard so far. nice

[Salt7iel]

Nice start

[91cobra50]

Sucks

[91cobra50]

Sucks

[caddycady]

Now that's the way music should be played. When you hear a song and cannot pick out the instruments... it ain't music. GREAT JOB FELLAS if you're ever in WI let us all know so we can grab out guitars & fiddles and we'll meet ya on the front porch for an old sing-a-long jam session. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!

[FRANK1FM]

I was raised in New Jersey and I'm proud to see good "Patriotic" country folk like these guys.Just keep the torch burning.Two Americas emerging.Me and people like this and the other is God help us with the "new immigrants" coming to America.People coming from countries that hate America.Notice what people are holding American flags on the 4th of July.See any new immigrants?Think about that.Will their children show up on the 4th with an American flag?We know the answer to that.

[mommarox2]

whoot, that was an excellent performance guys, love this song and always want to get up and dance when this one si played

really enjoyed this one too

[ionfreak33]

Top notch!

[MrTomstatube]

Great Performance!

[Eddythebeast666]

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent. Today we remember. Solemn Greetings on this Remembrance Veterans Poppy Armistice Day to all nations.

And for the for Americans/Canadians Please accept my salute on the anniversary of the Battle of Crysler's Farm Nov 11 1813.

[swmpmn85]

many, many years ago I was assigned to the seventh infantry (cotton balers) . I do love this song. I can remember singing it when I was a kid.

[jezzyjez0812]

Lovely English tune :-)

[jezzyjez0812]

Sounds brilliant guys still proud to be British though a nice English sounding tune

[firemanjon54]

thanks

[firemanjon54]

whats the name of the song you here in the segment before the song starts?

[volleyballjones]

@firemanjon54 That's a snippet from our Doctor My Eyes video.

[RedRiverTxLa]

Loved your video.

[calvinthecat81]

Now I am realy mad ! I would like to buy a CD the more I click to see your work.

I did not find it on Amazon.com

Possibly I am too sleepy .

Well if you have a place to buy some of your stuff let me know John

[calvinthecat81]

The girl will love this when she is older.

I wish my border collie could do things as well.

The thing is here this is better than NGDB on utube as they speeded theirs up from the 1970's vesion. .

Why speed anything up or add something to a perfect song?

Well done masters!

I am glad someone could respect the song and do it correctly.

My opinion but the song makes me smile the way you did it.

John Calvin is my cat but not my name

[speck444]

cool

[paperbacknovel]

No that's Staten Island. I recognize those trees.

Great video guys -- well done cover. Love it. I've got some old tube radios in the basement that need to be put on display more.

When are you guys going to be on Twitter so you can tweet us twits each time a new video goes up? Also you should come up to Staten Island sometime and perform. There's a Blue Grass festival in the fall; not that you are Blue Grass per se..

[paperbacknovel]

@paperbacknovel Sorry for the double post -- these days Youtube throws your post half way down the page, not to the top, so you think it hasn't been posted. Then they don't allow you to remove it. Youtube is going backwards.

[volleyballjones]

Vanessa,

Thanks for asking. We are a group of friends who made these videos on a lark. In the process we've had some fun and got in some good practice time. I don't think we are ready to go on the road, but we are starting to get a few requests to play for local events and are having some fun with that.

Thanks for checking out our videos and taking time to comment.

Steve

[willienelsonpri]

Steve and all, this is a great performance. The music is alive and fresh. Artful blend of both country and western. The mandolin lead was a sweet touch. Warm, strong vocals bring this old tune to life. Great slice of Americana. Thanks, Liz

[alexandraxxxxxx]

Steven this is so great ..what a clever vid too ...

Im sitting here jigging hehe !!

[csason]

I am half-Harted.. ;)

My Mama is a Hart.

[2xVitamR]

Hello Steve, thanks for your answer and the information. What cool teacher Jimmy Driftwood was, to sing the american history. Super. And I could learn something I didn't knew. Thank you and all thwe best for you.

Michael

[volleyballjones]

Ed,

You are too kind.

Thanks,

Steve

[2xVitamR]

Well done, it sounds good. I know this song sung by Lonnie Donnegan and later in the 70ies sung by the Les Humphries singers. Nice video with the little girl. My stars for you.

Michael

[volleyballjones]

Guten Tag Michael,

You may already know this, but Jimmy Driftwood (birth name James Morris) wrote this song in 1936. He was a school teacher and wrote this song and sang it to his class to help them understand their lesson.

Thanks for watching,

Steve

[csason]

Where'd you learn all this stuff ???

Nevermind.. I know.

[gingermc2]

Good video, guys. Like your introduction.

[volleyballjones]

Hi Ginger,

Thanks for watching and taking time to comment too.

Steve

[bownessgord]

Thanks for the high rating.

Much appreciated,

Steve

[Skawirt]

Great intro! Cute little girl. You guys sound great together (as usual) and I always enjoy seeing the beautiful instruments you're playing. Loved it!

[volleyballjones]

Skawirt,

Glad you like our instruments. David Evans was bumped over to fiddle on this song, and we asked John Lee to play mandolin. John had been practicing his part on his beginner level A-Style mandolin. A few minutes before recording, John's wife handed him a new F-Style mandolin (as an early birthday present). He was totally surprised and we all got a big kick out of seeing his reaction.

Steve

[jplee888]

Steve,

The intro alone is worth the price of admission. That's the best u-tube intro ever! Great job!

[volleyballjones]

Jplee888,

Glad you liked the intro. I was hoping my band mates would be pleased with how Gracie's little skit turned out, but now I'm worried they will be jealous of her stealing the show.

Thanks,

Steve

[phijomac]

loved it

[volleyballjones]

Johnny,

We couldn't have done it without you.

Thanks,

Steve

[ariellehunter]

She is so cute ! Authentic scene too .

[volleyballjones]

Ariellehunter,

That's my, little granddaughter and I think she is cute too.

"Authentic" is the word one of us said when we stepped out into the woods to film this video. It kind of looks like we are back in 1814, doesn't it?

Thanks,

Steve

[harleyhawgn]

This is a totally excellent video. The clips and the music is awesome. THANKS FOR POSTING, C.W.

[volleyballjones]

C.W.,

Thank you for these kind words.

Really glad you liked it.

Steve

[hearkenstwings]

Always a joy to see and hear your wonderful blend of vocals and instrumental talents amidst nature's beauty. Sweet! Gracie is adorable and I love the U + the tube. So cute!

[volleyballjones]

Holly,

Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Glad you liked it.

Steve

[About2Rain]

Haha...u + tube + a beautiful little girl = 1 heck of an intro!

Great pickin' in the great outdoors.

Hearts & Silver Stars to you all!

[volleyballjones]

Donna,

Thanks for watching and giving a fine comment.

Steve

[23L]

Fantastick! The only problem with videos from vollyballjones is that there are not enough of them!! More, more please! :) a fine job all around.Steve is that guitar part of your collection of "cowboy" guitars?

*****'s

Larry

[volleyballjones]

Larry,

I guess we are a little slow at coming out with videos.

The guitar I'm playing is a 1995 "OOO" Martin from their Custom Shop. I had an artist draw the art, and cut stencils. Then I sent the stencils to Martin and they sprayed paint through them to make the design. They also gave the guitar a slight aged tinting - like the Eric Clapton signature model they were doing back then. It is reminiscent of the 1930's - 1950's cowboy guitars, but a much better guitar.

Thanks,

Steve

[useryug]

Nice one, VolleyballJones Pickers!

[volleyballjones]

Barry,
