I'm still listenin I wonder if you feelin what you sing or if its just your well practiced stage demeanor any how if people feeln sad or desparate is frightening to you than perhaps you should stop playin thier anthems but till then dont stop playin for nobody less its your kids ha ha

[daviemcf]

Great stuff!!

[ecojot]

Brilliant - I play acoustic blues, but nowhere near as well as you. May I ask who your favorite players are?

[TheMemphisSlim]

Pipes like Pavrotti

[yanis3]

Seeing people play this stuff so well makes me so happy. I really want to know if you're touring.

[midianpart2]

never did talk back to me did ya darlin fraid Im a little too much like hoopie john right allright well good luck for not the invite to hear you live but a little time hunh its funny what saves you everyday the temptations of the devil keep gettin thicker its a long winded goodbye if my vernacular is too frightening to cipher any how ill give a listen but good bye baby keep singin

[VonNashman]

Umm, why aren't you making records? I'm buying it if you make it.

[RetroJenny]

Very nice. You play really well, and you have a beautiful soulful voice. You remind me of Susan Tedeschi and Bonnie Raitt.

[IvanhoeMartin3]

bellissima canzone!!

[PresidentMcCool]

Wow. I am so in love with you now. Let us know if you are touring. You could put out some new blues covers and preface vid with where your gigs are. Man you should be out with Bonnie Raitt. Anyway, your great. What a great Saturday morning for depressed blues guy!! Learn Beeswing by Richard Thompson.

[JesseyJackson]

I hope that by now your performing somewhere,..... awesome.....

[thumbpickr1812]

That is wonderful! Why didn't God give me that voice? Why, why, why? <}:-)

[kingacres0]

No theatrics, just breathing in and breathing out. The singer and the song are one. You are the balm to a worried soul.

Vint

[thallassocracy]

These cross-rhythms are really impressive.

Your mixture of rubato vocal lines with an almost Country-style regular picking gives you a new and distinct crossover Blues / Country feel (like Buddy Holly had).

[InvisibleNinjar]

beautiful!! want to see your gigs.

[JonathanDaddy]

Keep going! I love your take on this great Frank Stokes tune.

[hardluckwillie]

Awesome!!! I'll just go burn my guitars now.

[breckandy]

Fantastic voice!

[sellobic]

Excellent singing and picking, just great.

[youarenothere]

this is my favorite blues song. Nice to hear it sung so beautifully by someone else.

[BigPaddyFan]

I hope you are not so sad in the real live how does you looks.

Withe voice like this and the guitar you playing you should be more happy.

It is a gift.

Very good. I like it.

[kickingmule]

So Good, a woman/gal sing this song !

That's sooooooooooooo Gooooooooooooooood !!!

Peace Sister !

[cwhanna]

OK its official you are my absolute favorite solo blues guitarist singer on youtube. Get a CD out soon please... please. how long.. how long..

[biancaschuit]

Je hebt iets rauws op je stem, echt heel mooi. Ik zou je wel een duet met Bonnie Raitt willen horen zingen. Heel veel succes verder

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

I may have commented before.. but this is great, Great stuff! Nice work indeed, and really true to the form.

[Funloverdude]

Man, ole stokesy had a dreamy quality to his sound. Good job! Good stuff!

[bullrider2014]

i love your voice! its so classic! mine as well come down to nashville in tennessee. people on youtube love, y not on record?

[robbourassaguitarist]

Excellent.

[cephusjones]

You are awesome!

[kingsindiandefence]

Great vocals on this....I would love to be able to buy a CD with this stuff on.

[JustCallMeBri]

Beautiful!

[rottenhubert]

That guitar sounds perfectly plunky for this stuff. What is it? Sounds like my old ladder-braced Stella/Harmony/Airline/Sears boxes.

Oh, and nicely done.

[riverman7]

Perfect voice for blues!

[ratz671]

Wow, the only word that comes to mind is AWESOME!!!

[johnnyjolijt]

...also the best version (I think) since Frank Stokes. Thank You for posting these songs. Greetings from The Netherlands.

[johnnyjolijt]

Great voice!

[jonasclay87]

To a musician to another keep up the great work. Sometimes no one will listen but I hear you.

[viktorvaldemar]

[sleepymanblues]

Frank Stokes`version is just so good-i`d urge all of you commenters to give it a listen-it`s obvious most of you haven`t heard it!har.har.

[lyndvs]

sleepymanblues, most of the commenters are fuckwits.

Regards, lyndvs

[MSB76]

One positive thing I can say to Mr. Charlie is: "Thank you for leading me back to this vid. Nice reminder of how wonderful this version is."

[hambonecharliejohnso]

i really dislike your dumbed down arrangements of these classic blues.

[bushwacker2008]

[Doctg100]

This is great stuff! How long have you been playing and when and why did you become interested in this type of music? I have to say that you are very talented and I hope you keep on !

[cwhanna]

That was beautiful, period.

[djmoore20041]

Great playing little girl! Wow! How on earth did you learn about this kind of music? It's great to hear someone young and female playing this stuff. Keep up the great work!

[jamescharles999]

thats really well played and sung

[acoustictravellersl]

Love it! I'm going to learn this, just like you play it and include it in my street set.

Best

Jim

[songbird427]

What's your name, sister? I love your work.

[jballard459]

not only a lovely gal, but talented. I wonder if she plays in dropped tunings.  It takes a bit of effort, but worth it

[Boogiewoogiekid]

This is a brilliant arrangement!

[slackaware]

Wonderful.I love your playing and singing.A great choice of songs as well.You should be out there playing and making big dough.

[polanskyd]

That was lovely playing. I don't suppose you've got a tab anywhere of this song?

[Guitarish63]

Nicely Done!

[duffus27]

That was really easy to listen to.

[donalg007]

That's a great version of Frank Stokes! Keep it up, I like some of your other stuff too. take care.

[crokey64]

I love it - lovely. Where can I find the music? I'd love to learn to play it.

[sudley17]

love what you,re doing , sings my pretty baby to sleep . Feel free to check my vid out and also my good friend blindboy at deltabluestips

[wingnut1000]

Do you play any gigs? I would pay to see you. I would have to say you are one of the best and most consistently good players I have seen. A nice touch, and a fantastic voice!

Cheers, Adrian.

[IplayBanjoNow]

Thank you! I haven't started a demo yet, but once it's done, I hope to play some shows.

[cashc0w]

wow, really nice did you interpret this yourself??

[IplayBanjoNow]

thank you! I did.

[cashc0w]

you should tab this for us!

[corman17]

wow good stuff

Do you know the song "last kind word blues?"

Or weeping willow blind boy fuller?

[IplayBanjoNow]

Thanks! I've been working on weeping willow. There's one part in it I can't see to get right.

[dougwapner]

This is definitely one of my favorites. Unreal.

[LizzyDouglas]

Just one word: "DIVINE" !!

[Vizava]

You are amazing and so is that song. I'm slowly figuring it out, but can't get the hang of that c to f hammer-on transition thing. Did you teach yourself this song?

[IplayBanjoNow]

Thank you! I did learn it myself, but I had to play it for a week straight, and still have to play it once in a while to make sure I don't lose it. I think the hammer on to the F comes after a G7. But it's a C before that.

[IplayBanjoNow]

I'd also like to change it at some point to get the nice running base he has going.

[leapsalmon]

Wonderful! I love this song, and am trying to figure out how you do the bass runs. Your voice is superb.

[shawlx]

Really nice, keep playing these kinds of songs! The guitar is great, keep picking, it's fun.

[wera333]

you've got a tendency to make a nasty frown when you're playing your instrumentals.

you're voice is striking, and your fingers are slick nice fingerpickin'. I thought that was awsome.

[tanoloco96]

excellent cover

[myartache]

I like your frown.

[reservaimoral]

i'd love to see you singing vigilante man'

[windowfan]

Thank you. Please keep them coming.

[MSB76]

Beautiful stuff!!  You've inspired me to learn some Frank Stokes. Can't wait to hear more!

[bobheaton]

I don't know what to say....you made me cry with joy that was so sweet,your an absolute angel,thanks for posting this song I'll be waching it over and over again.5 stars,in my favourites and subscribed too,I'm hooked.Love from Bob.

[MancBluesman]

Absolutely enchanting just like the Blues should be played fantastic and skillful guitar accompanying a very strong and soulful voice.

[fingerlessblues]

excellent cover of one of the greatest ever blues singers to walk this earth... brilliant do others... see ya... felonious monk

[cryingsoftly]

Can't believe I missed this video for three weeks. I greatly admire your covering of roots music. My only request is that you keep putting up more videos.

[michelecroft]

wow great cover you should try a version of Stokes' What's the Matter Blues- keep pickin'

[beardedyodeler]

I really liked the finger picking! It sounded a lot like Mississippi John Hurts style. Which I know is hard to master

Good job!! You are a far better guitar picker than I

[RoneyBalogna]

I wish i could sing 1/10 as good as you

Your videos inspire me!

Keep up the good work!

Peace!

p.s. ; Do you know any Charlie Patton songs?

[jonno52]

Really love this! Your voice is strong & pure as ever & the picking is great. (And thanks for the message - I did like the yodel on the Jimmie Rodgers!)

[nagzyou]

fantastic!what a nice surprise this morning...think your voice reminds me of bonnie raitt...xo mom

[IplayBanjoNow]

way to cramp my style

[nagzyou]

that was a compliment!what's wrong?mom

[1inthepipe]

Very nice sweetheart!

I love Frank Stokes, and to hear you sing it does my heart good.

Thank you. I mean it.

[BobbyWeb420]

i'm jealous that you can play so fast...and why look so sad?

[bonvivant567]

[MaceGill]

Tremendous
