I have 66 years and 30 days ago I bought a banjo for the first time.
I play the piano well and some guitar and this video really excited me, because my little 8 year old granddaughter, who accompanies me with his guitar and we're playing the red river valley and you are my sunshine, which are easier.
Children very affectionate kiss.
Father and grandfather, a big hug from Buenos Aires, Argentina, this old pianist, but new banjoist, José Luis.
Yea.... a current and updated video would be real cool....Bet those kids are involved with their school work at the moment, though summertime is near...all we can do is hope....before you know it , with a blink of a eye, the kids will have their drivers licenses and will be doing their own thing, hopfully in driving off to collage....
I don't think that the total amount of time i've spent practicing, since 1961, when I got my first banjo, would TOTAL eight years! Those kids do a FINE job.
this is amazing; if more children would be trained in music, how much nicer this country would be... these are the real American people right there....
at first it sounded like he was just plucking random notes but towards the middle and end it sounded great everything went together, nice vid and rock on!
Great job. Your boy is working hard on it and one day will sound just like Earl himself. Keep up the good work. Your daughter is progressing nicely. :) Lord's blessings to you and yours.
That was truly amazing. Makes me wanna get out of the city life and head on down to Georgia in the woods!! I'm serious. That look like a ton of fun. Good job guys! God Bless!
Way to go!!!! Wish I had started fiddling when I was as young as you guys. Makes it a lot easier. Keep pickin' and post some more of your great stuff.
I love this video and it brings good pleasurable laughter to me to see the kids having fun. Dane you hang in there playing the banjo. Sounds great!
Mikayla you are doing a fine job on the fiddle too! You certainly know when its time for the fiddle to take its break. I thought Dane was going to hip his way in one of those times it was his turn to take a break!
fiddlin' pretty darn good too!!!!!!

Hello Johnny
Thank you very much for your response.
I will follow your advice and take care of Earl Scruggs book.
My other grandson 7 years, seeing the video, as well as your son,
blond, and very like him, wants a banjo too.
I think we have a competition ... a great affection for everyone, from Buenos Aires, Jose Luis.
