Hard Times Come Again No More - a RHopen and TanteA collaboration

[TanteA]

@acapeles1 Thank you Les very much. Yes there are much more funny sounding versions of this song as you did. But we decided to do the slow version.

Very nice greetings from Anette

[Bidyyy]

@Bidyyy Dankeschön, Ernest und Sarah. Die Autoharp habe ich letzten Sommer auf dem Trödelmarkt entdeckt :-)

Nette Grüße von Anette

[rhopen]

We really should have given Mabel a credit on this Anette haha :o) Maybe that is why he meowed at the end? hehe. -Ron

[TanteA]

@rhopen Oh Ron, I did not answer a single comment to our collab! Omg! I will take time for it today. Next time you must do it haha.

Have a great day! Your German friend,-

Anette

[dusstead]

Great job Anette and Ron, really enjoyed it

i'd only heard Bob Dylans version of this song before,

[TanteA]

@dusstead Hi Brain, sorry that I forgot to answer your comment. I had too less time the last month. I hope you are well.

Nice greetings from Anette

[annahpanna]

love this, it sounds great, enchanting haha :)

[ImOfTheWoods]

Wow, how delightful - you sound wonderful together, and love the instruments you used, Anette & Ron! I hadn't heard this song before - beautiful, beautiful harmonies!!! I heard Mabel at the end lol. Very well done, my friends - I enjoyed it so much. 8o)

[TanteA]

@ImOfTheWoods Thank you Sylvia very much. I found this old autoharp on a fleamarket.

Nice greetings from Anette

[karlmahlmann]

Very, very cool. I really enjoyed this. Maybe not one of Stephen Foster's greatest hits, but a real jewel. You guys did it right.

[TanteA]

@karlmahlmann Hallo Karl, sorry that I did not answer to your comment. I just forgot... I did not know this song before. Ron said we could try it and I am glad he did.

Nice greetings from Anette

[jessatilley]

Fantastic collaboration you've done. Has the uplifting feeling of a Christmas carol, but for all year round. Lovely.

[musicfamily]

Nice work Ron and Annette. I did not know you can play the Auto Harp. Very nice indeed.

[Plans4Nobody]

Excellent! This is one of many really great Stephen Foster songs that you two would sound great collaborating on...

[rpatt100]

A great old folk tune Anette . One of my favorite Steven Foster pieces . Well done !

[lorene31513]

A great song.....VERY well done!! Thanks for sharing. 

[MrJaliprandi]

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Very beautiful rendition of this great song! Sung so beautifully - love the instruments you're using in this performance. Beautiful! 10*

[1Jisom]

Really nice you two, enjoyed every bit of it..

[BluegrassForte]

This is one of my favorite tunes. Great collab. I always enjoy listening to you both! It always amazes me to see the different instruments you both play! And one of those instruments must have the voice of a cat??? :D Thanks to you both for your support of my music!

[TanteA]

@BluegrassForte Hi Lindsey, so great to hear from you!Thank you very much for listenening and for your kind comment, also in Ron´s name! My first autoharp I saw in the movie about Jonny Cash´s life. His wife played it, and I thought to myselfe: Oh I want one too :-) And Rons big mandoline fits very good to it. And yes, you heard right: I have a cat organ too =^..^=

Very nice greetings from Anette

[germaxco]

brilliant collab !!my congratulations to both !

[PatrickGMoran]

I have never heard this song before. What a great tune for a collaboration. You both sound excellent in your separate parts and together. An 1854 folk song...who would have thunk it. Great job Ron and Anette.

[TanteA]

@PatrickGMoran Hi PatrickGMoran, thank you very much for your friendly comment. Yes it is a great tune. I am glad that Ron had the ide to sing it, so I learned it too. Nice greetings, also in Rons name, -

Anette

[suuzzee5]

Anette and Ron

[dholeton]

I just wonder how you do it!

Well done Ron and Anette

Dave

[TanteA]

@dholeton Hallo Dave, thank you so much for listening and you friendly comment.This time I made the audio mix. It was a bit difficult to put it all together, but a lot of fun too. Ron is a very good partner to work with. Very nice greetings, also in Rons name, -

Anette

[chuxtrux]

beautiful job, both of you. i had not heard this old song for maybe fifteen years or so. your version is as good as any to date. absolutely lovely, chuck.

[TanteA]

@chuxtrux Hi Chuck, these old beautiful songs are in danger to be forgotten. We have this problem im Germany too. Thank you very much for your kind comment, also in Rons name.

Nice greetings from Anette

[onewomanandsomesongs]

What wonderful collab, Anette and Ron! Just such a pleasant listening experience from two You Tube stars. Y'all did a really great job here.....always love listening to all the instruments you play! :) Janet

[TanteA]

@onewomanandsomesongs Hi Janat, this collab was a something special, because it brought me closer again to American folk music. Thank you very much for your great comment, also in Rons name.

Your German friend, - Anette

[Weatherhill1]

Very very Nice.

* * * * *

[TanteA]

@Weatherhill1 Thank you Weatherhill1 very much. We are glad that you liked our vid.

Nice greetings, also in Rons name, -

Anette

[MartinRaetzJr]

Here I'm again. You have made me addicted to this song ;-)

Very nice also the vocal solo from cat Mable in the end. Martin

[TanteA]

@MartinRaetzJr Thank you again Martin :-) Yes the chord changes of the song are just beautiful. The autoharp fits perfectly to it. It was Rons idea to sing this song to my new instrument. But we must sing it in C Major, because I don´t have stripes for all harmonies. I will look where I can buy more chord stripes.

Yes Mabel is a talented singer too, but he was too shy to appear in the vid.

Nice greetings from Anette

[freeoriginalsongs]

Wonderful Anette - Lovely in every way.

[TanteA]

[TanteA]

@talesandtunes Hallo lieber Michael :-) Schön, von dir zu hören. Die Autoharp habe ich auf dem Flohmarkt gefunden. Dann hatte Ron die Idee, dieses Lied zu singen. Ich kannte es vorher gar nicht.

@Bidyyy Hallo Ernest und Sarah, vielen vielen Dank! Ich mag einfach diese Folkmusik-Instrumente und ich freue mich schon, wenn ich etwas darauf spielen kann. Die Autoharp habe ich kürzlich auf dem Flohmarkt entdeckt.

Ganz nette Grüße von Anette

[CurtisMateer]

I didn't know Stephen Foster wrote this terrific song , thought it was a traditional. Beautiful. Love that minor change at 3:41 in particular, it's a nice moment. Great work you twobe. I know Ron has been wanting to record this song for ages so it is nice to hear it finally realised here in such a fine way Anette. Pete

[TanteA]

@CurtisMateer Hallo Pete, Ron was waiting to record this song for ages? I did not know this. He only said to me: Anette, you have an autoharp now, what about this song? Thank you very much for listening and your kind comment.

Nice greetings from Anette

[Maysey1]

PS! I've saved this to my recently new PLAYLIST titled "Traditional Folk". I really enjoyed this Ron and Anette

[Maysey1]

Absolutely lovely cover of this song Ron and Anette. The instruments and your heartfelt voices blended beautifully together, with each note and tone from both finding their own place in the wonderful landscape of music. Thank you Ron and Anette for the beautiful cover of this song which I will listen to many times over, and thank you both for inspiring me to return to my more folkish roots of writing and playing. Wishing you both all the best on this lovely journey. Mark

[TanteA]

@Maysey1 Thank you Mark so much for your good words. I am so glad that Ron shares my love and interest in folkmusic. So we had the same feel to sing that beautiful song.

By the way: The autoharp I found on a fleamarket ;-)

Wishing you all the best too, also in Ron´s name.

Your friend from Germany, - Anette

[1catbob]

This is a wonderful collaboration. Thank you Ron and Anette. Anette, though not seen in the video, your recorder also adds a special sound to this song.

Bob

p.s. hello Mabel =^..^=

[TanteA]

@1catbob Hi Bob, thank you very much :-) It was a great thing to do this collab together with Ron. Yes, recorder is a great instrument, often underrated.

Nice greetings from Anette, also in Rons name.

P.S. Mabel says "meow" back

[sharbohemia]

Oh how beautiful... and Yes, I heard Mabel's little "meow" at the close.. :))

I liked this... very thoughtful... and strong... Ron, Anette, beautiful job. Anette, I liked how focused you had to be on the different, precise, chords on the autoharp.. Peace to both of you... God Bless... g'night. ♫ ~Sharon

[TanteA]

@sharbohemia Hallo Sharon, it was a great experience for me to learn this beautiful old song and to perform it with Ron, who is such a good musician. Thank you very much for your kind comment.

Nice greetings from Anette, also in Rons name

[amccann7]

Nice greetings from Anette, also in Rons name

[jugnutgut2]

Well done you two! enjoyed it very much.. that Stephen Foster was the Bob Dylan of his day :)

[TanteA]

@jugnutgut2 I did not know Stephen Foster before and not the song. So I learned something new about American culture. Thank you very much, also in Rons name, -

Anette

[CharmedQuarkZ99]

[TanteA]

@mettanc Hi michael, thank you very much for listening and your kind comment.

Anette and Ron

[rhopen]

Hi Anette. I think you did a marvelous job on the mix and you added just the right instruments. I am very proud of it and it will go in in my special vids folder and stay there. Oh and maybe Mabel is mad because we didn't give him a credit in vid? :o) Nice greetings Anette from USA. -Ron

[TanteA]

@rhopen Dear Ron,

it was a great experience and much fun to do this collab together with you. I am so happy that we can share our interests in folk music, but for other styles of music too.

We will mention Mabe in the credits, if he will sit in that damn basket next time =^..^=

Your German friend, -

Anette

[Peregrin27]

Hallo Anette. Wie ich sehe bist du jetzt auch eine Autoharp-Kollegin ;-)

Und was für ein schönes Lied. Ich hab das auch schon mal aufgenommen und konnte gleich mit euch mitsingen. Wunderbar ;-)

[TanteA]

@Peregrin27 Ja Ben, und es ist wieder mal deine Schuld gewesen :-) Genau wie bei der Dulcimer. Zuerst gesehen habe ich diese Instrumente bei dir, und dann habe ich mich sachkundig gemacht.

Du hast dieses Lied auch schon einmal aufgenommen? Ok, eigentlich wundert mich das gar nicht, denn du bist ja ein Experte auf diesem Gebiet. Ich hoffe, dein Studium geht gut voran, lieber Ben.

Ganz nette Grüße von Anette

[LONGWINDING]

Hallo Anette, and Hi Ron;-) Super schönes Video, great world-wide collab. Das passt wirklich gut zusammen, Deine und Ron´s Stimme. Und dann noch Dein Instrument - stark!

Vielen Dank auch....und mehr von diesen schönen Collabs,

Liebe Grüße, Frank

[TanteA]

@LONGWINDING Lieber Frank, vielen vielen Dank! Ja, musikalisch gesehen passen Ron und ich wirklich gut zusammen. Sowohl was die Auswahl der Stücke angeht, als auch in der Frage der Umsetzung. Es kommen bestimmt noch mehr Collabs, denn es macht vor allem so viel Spaß :-)

Nette Grüße von Anette

[cameragirlJane]

I popped on to my originals channel to change my background and saw that you had posted! Oh this was lovely Anette and Ron! You both did great both musically and harmoniously:) Ron did a nice job with the video too! Big Thumbs up and favorited:)

[TanteA]

@cameragirlJane Hi Jane, so great that you like it! It was Rons idea, after I sent him a foto of my autharp. I got it on a fleamarket three weeks ago. It was much fun doing it.

Very nice greetings from Anette

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Wonderful! One of my favorite songs...

[TanteA]

@GrumpyCoyoteTunes I just learned this song one week ago. But I must say, it is one of the most beautiful song I ever heard. Thank you very much for your friendly comment.

Anette

[0258jtj7]

Wow! Such a nice blend of voices and beautiful unique instruments. This is a classic and goin' in my fav's!!!

[TanteA]

@0258jtj7 Hi Ray, thank you so much. You have so beautiful folk songs in America and I really love them. I am glad that Ron has the same feel for music too. He inspires me a lot.

Nice greetings from Anette

[Guitarman092004]

So ein "Autoharp" hab ich bisher noch nie gesehen.....Danke Anette für diesen Song.

[TanteA]

@Guitarman092004 Hallo Toshy, ist ja auch ein Amerikanisches Folkmusik-Instrument. Danke für deinen netten Kommentar.

Nette Grüße von Anette

[MartinRaetzJr]

This time you have hit the bull's eye by me. I sit here and can not stop to hear again and again. Great compliment, for me is it one of the very best folk songs which was ever uploaded on Youtube!

Diesmal habt Ihr bei mir voll ins Schwarze getroffen. Ich sitze hier und kann nicht aufhören mir den Song wieder und wieder anzuhören. Größtes Kompliment, ist für mich einer der allerbesten Folk Songs, die hier jemals hochgeladen wurden.

Martin

[TanteA]

@MartinRaetzJr Hallo Martin, vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar. Ja, das Lied ist wunderschön. Ich freue mich, dass Ron mich darauf gestoßen hat. Es hat sehr viel mit unseren deutschen Volksliedern gemeinsam finde ich.

Ganz liebe Grüße, auch von Ron. Er hat sich sehr über deinen Kommentar gefreut.

Anette

[KasugaD400]

Hallo Anette, habe gerade deinen Kommentar zu meinem letzten Video gelesen, vielen Dank erstmal, und finde nun dieses wunderschöne Stück .

Das ist extraklasse, dafür hätts früher 5 Sterne gegeben, heute leider nur nen Daumen, aber den wenigsten nach oben.

Viele liebe Grüsse

Werner

[TanteA]

@KasugaD400 Hallo Werner, ich habe mich sehr über deinen Kommentar gefreut. Ja, für dieses Projekt habe ich mir richtig Mühe gegeben. Es war mein erster Audio-Mix für ein Collab. Am Ende hört man gar nicht, wieviel Arbeit darin steckt :-)

Nette und liebe Grüße zurück

Anette

[trudbol]

That was very nice you two, I enjoy these mellow classics and your collaboration works quite well. Perhaps the stereo panning is a bit extreme, but I'm just nit picking, I really enjoyed it. Cheers, Julien

[TanteA]

@trudbol Hallo Julien, thank you so much for listening and for your friendly comment. We appreciate it very much, because it comes from one of the best musicians here on YT. You always upload high quality vids. With the panning you may be right. I am just learning it.

Looking forward to your next multitrack recording!

Nice greetings and Cheers, also in Rons name, -

Anette

[Roselyne18]
