I played this song on the piano at my school's variety show. This version is pure amazing.

[annieandmac]

[UnionMillMusic]

Hello Annie and Mac,

I am an elementary music teacher and have shared this with my students in school. Keep on pickin' and grinnin'.

[annieandmac]

@UnionMillMusic It's nice to hear that you're youngsters are getting a taste of this old time music! Thank you.

[OldBenOne]

I always loved this song and searched for a video for my grandson.

This was by far the most fun for both of us. Thank you for sharing it!

[annieandmac]

@OldBenOne Glad you like it - we always have fun with this one!

[VerticalUnion1]

Sorry guys, just linked to your webpage and saw the CD,s. Wish I could play as well as you. brilliant

[VerticalUnion1]

You two are great, what an inspiration. I reckon you could easily make an album. If you are ever in UK drop me a line and my family and I will happily bile you down some crawdads

[musicbox193]

I learned the verse about the lake getting dry as "Gonna sit on the bank and watch the crawdads die"

[annieandmac]

@musicbox193 That works too - I could never get Ms Annie to sing about watching the crawdads die!

[SnivellusTonks]

I never get tired to viewing that video. It's fabulous. It simply makes me happy. You look so cheerful to play and sing together i'd like to share such moment with you. I'm learning that song for accordion, and i'd like to generate the same joy. Sorry for my bad english, greetings from France and thanks again!

[ChimX420]

You guys are great together.

[annieandmac]

@ChimX420 Thank you!

[jehovahuponyou]

CRAWDADS ARE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES, YOU DAMN EARTH HATERS - LMAO!

POOR MAN'S FIDDLE - LMAO!

POOR WOMAN'S GUITAR (PROBABLY A DAMN MARTIN) - ROFL!

Y'ALL DONE GOOD, KEEP SANGIN' - BRAVO!

[annieandmac]

@jehovahuponyou I'm happy to report that we just heard they've taken crawdads of the endangered species list, it's not a poor man's fiddle anymore - it's a prarie piano and it's not a Martin just a nice Sigma. I like your message, thanks!

Mac

[jehovahuponyou]

@annieandmac - GOOD, I SHALL EAT A COUPLE A POUNDS OF THEM CRITTERS TONIGHT - ;^)

[annieandmac]

[robbin505]

@ditdeb Pick up the Woody Guthrie collection of recordings done by the Library of Congress. One of the greatest collections I know of. Woody Guthrie traveled all over collecting, playing, writing, and learning songs of the people, like this one.

[jgkovac]

Thanks for commenting!

[cranejg1nj]

Thanks for posting. I can remember the first time I ever heard this song. A family reunion were all my uncles and cousins would bring out their guitars and play. We always had at least 6 pickers and we'd sing from noon til night. It was my driving for to learn how to play the guitar.

[annieandmac]

I enjoy reading the stories hearing about the memories that are associated with this song. Thanks for your message!

[bjfay]

Thank you Mac and Annie for this wonderful good clean fun. You are a breath of fresh air. Love this version of this wonderful song.

[annieandmac]

Thanks for the message. We appreciate your comments!

Mac

[jbth123]

can you tell me what harp you are playing

[annieandmac]

It's a Hohner Special 20 in the key of C played in cross or second position. Annie plays in the key of G.

[KajinDetier]

Another one very passionate. I really love your videos; I'm thinking about start playing harmonica because of you. =P

[annieandmac]

Thank you again. You must play the harmonica and you will never regret it!

Mac

[theopiumcowboy]

Ditto to HappyLilBunny18. Annie, could you please tell me the chords. I can't find them on the web, and I'd really like to sing this one to my kids someday.

[HappyLilBunny18]

xD My Dad sang this to me at night when he tucked me into bed when I was a little kid

[annieandmac]

Thanks - we love to hear stories like that!

Mac

[jbth123]

your harp style sounds like the guy that played with the nitty gritty dirt band cant remember his name sounds like the song tennessee stud they did

[annieandmac]

That was Jimmie Fadden. Thanks for your message.

Mac

[Homespunmusic]

My Grandpa taught me this song as a very young boy. This was our fishing "anthem." We would roll down the road in his 1950 Dodge pickup on the way to the lake in the predawn dark singing this song. I would be clutching a paper sack with two bottles of root beer and some cheese and baloney sandwiches. When I listen to your rendition, I find myself in a pleasantly wistful mood and hankering the taste of cheese and baloney sandwiches with root beer. Thank you so much for sharing your music.

[annieandmac]

Your message and story are what make this whole youtube thing so worthwhile. Thank you! I will remember your tale of the Crawdad Song every time I play it.

Mac

[sixstrings2650]
