That Old Banjo (Original Song)

[alexandraxxxxxx]

I love this guys....your videos are so cool...hope your all ...;0)

[sweetfacesofautism]

I normally love John Lee's voice but he is lacking in this video. He sounds tired and bored. His face is showing enthusiasm but, unfortuantely, I don't hear it in his voice. Cute video though with nice graphics.

[volleyballjones]

@sweetfacesofautism The scenes for the video were thought-up and then I wrote the song to go with the video. I put it in a key easy for me (guitar player) to sing with, but turned out to be low for John. He didn't complain and went with it as written. If we had raised the key, you (and John) would have liked it better.

[Westerngitarre]

well done!

[1952banjo]

you guys are great! love it !!!

[MyMoppet52]

Great, great songs and videos! Love your sound. Wishing you guys all the best! Moppet (Barbara)

[monster399]

Love your videos! You put a lot of hard work into everything you do. Keep up the good work.

[TheMobileHomies]

You guys are fantastic!!! The song is great as are the vocals. The entertaing video made it all fun

[stringdrum66]

Thanks! I been playing banjo for over 50 years, I started in 1960, then in 1962 I met Earl Scruggs and we became friends, He showed me alot of good stuff. I met Don Reno about the same time, and he showed me some nice stuff too! Since then I've met almost every mainstream banjo picker there ever was, and they all showed me something, so I feel blessed. I still am in the learning mode and just enjoy playing any chance I get. You guys are great, and very entertaining!

Keep on pickin'

[stringdrum66]

Hey David,

Yes, the fiddle was made with the head on it - over 100 years ago. We lit-up the eyes by aiming laser pointers at them.

Thanks for watching and commenting, Steve

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the great comment. Steve

[HandwhistlerBen]

@volleyballjones - Thank you for the plug Steve. Your ultra professional group is a must listen as well! So peaceful, relaxing and entertaining. I wonder how many young Tubers know that the last line is from the theme song of the Beverly Hillbilies? I have already shared some of your music.  It is a great way to end a hard day.

[mommarox2]

[volleyballjones]

@buzzsawkid

Hey Dave,

Would you believe our tailor is the person (Elvic50) who made the comment just before yours. Her name is Kyoko. She use to live here in Arkansas, but she and her family have recently moved to Japan.

Thanks for watching.

Steve

[Elvic50]

Great Job as usual. We enjoyed it very much. Vic and Kyoko.

[volleyballjones]

Another good song, and good video ! I love it. Especially David floating with the upright bass... much fun. Love the vocals too... can't wait for the next one !

Felicie (Mary-Lou band, from France !)

[volleyballjones]

@Garriflette

Hi Felicie,

Glad you like our new song. We had fun making this video, but not as much fun as with you and Jean-Luc making the Cowboy's Sweetheart video.

Great to hear from you. Steve

[dlimke]

You guys always deliver...awesome song and concept. Very entertaining, looking forward to the next one. (I'm also trying to figure out how to pronounce "Duiffoprugcar!")

[volleyballjones]

@dlimke

Hey Dan,

Glad you approve. I don't know how to pronounce "Duiffoprugcar" either. We in Arkansas just say "that guy who made the 1st fiddle."

Thanks for watching, Steve
