Thinking about singing Amazing Grace to this tune in church soon. Carter

@watch129 The coolest version of Amazing Grace I've ever seen is on youtube. Search Tim Eriksen and Amazing Grace.. You'll like it.. I think.

You are a wonderful motivator. If ever I loose motivation to practice, I watch one of your video's and It makes me want to practice, in hopes that one day i may have even one hundredth of your skill. You truly are an inspiration. : )

[XavierOnitova]

@rpeek but this bum ditti, bum ditty thing, is challenging to me, but that's where your vids are helping me plenty, thanx mucho Sir. .......P.S Oh man the next barn or garage you find, may be like a very cool studio for your music, a "Banjo Studio" etc, huh? Take care now Mr Peek.

@rpeek Because funkin dirty is the best way I'd decribe it's tone myself. This "House of the Risin Sun" is rockin hard here man. So as of now, I am working on your first week "claw-hammer", frailing video for the banjo. And it ain't too easy either, I have been able to hop on many instruments in the past, and have been able to jam on them with not many problems,

[XavierOnitova]

@rpeek Initially I stumbled across you, by chance, and had a banjo or two laying around here or in pawn shop, and now I'm playing this particular instrument a lot better, due to your dirty little lessons. Honestly I wouldn't of really paid much attention to any of them if it weren't for the word "dirty" alone.

@rpeek I also dig the manner in which you have chosen a very diverse array of content to upload here, and love the way your music and performance of it, is always intertwined and "sound tracky" present in the background, very nice I too hear music everywhere from our mundane human activities, to the heavenly realms

@rpeek Hello Mr Peek, I'm your bran spankin new subscriber Steven from California. I too am an artist/musician and aspiring "renaissance man" as yourself. And I do agree with many folks here, that your videos thus far have been amazingly inspiring, because I also love to get old stuff that I envision after given a little, or maybe a whole lot of TLC, would look after finished, plus your work ethics and drive, put me to total shame, and right now, I need that.
