  • fiddlin' pretty darn good too!!!!!!

  • I new he could play sax, but I didn't know he could play banjo. Thats amazing!

  • brilliant. Any recent videos?

  • Those 2 will be good later on... keep up the good works kids!! 2 thumbs up from Canada!

  • I hope he's kept it up all these years. Love it!

  • Pretty good for an 8 yr. old. He'll get better as he grows and practices more. I like the way she pushes him out of the way to play.

  • 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.

  • keep it goin man keep it goin. GOD bless all of ya

  • Hello beautiful family

    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.

  • good job!

  • i like your video, is great.

  • The lil girl owns this video!

  • wow! incredible.talented and adorable. love when she shoves him out of the way.

  • Hi,

    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!

    Thanks for putting on the video.

  • haha. i love how she pushes him out of the way.

    he's really good for being 8 years old, but maybe he should play something a liiiittle less challenging than foggy mountain breakdown for a video.

  • That young man is doing a great job on that banjo...but his sister sure can saw that fiddle!!!!

  • Wish I was there in that little cabin, playin along! Keep it going!

  • This has to be the coolest video i have seen in a long time!

  • Yeah Dane!!! Great job....watch out for big sisters hip though....she looks pretty deadly with that thing.

  • If people could only understand just how hard the bajo is to play....Great job kids....way to keep the beat guys

  • god dang does that girl play a mean fiddle!

  • that little girl has a pretty mean hip too!!!

  • That girl plays a mean fiddle! :)

  • That was so cute. Super job, kids, on playing that music. Keep practicing, you'll be great.

  • well done nice to see kids playing
