Sally Ann

Mary Z. Cox plays Sally Ann on the Suwannee River on her new Recording King Ne Plus ultra. This is recorded on a tiny Fujifilm digital camera on a built in mic--so there is noise.

Lol :) that Fuji camera was stolen two years ago in Equador :) now I have A Panasonic luminex with much better sound--check out some more recent youtubes :)

[maryzcox]

This version of Sally Ann is recorded on my cd, Vintage Banjo, and the recording quality is very superior to this informal Youtube. Also--there is a simple tab to it in my Vintage Banjo tab book. They are both available on my website and make a great Christmas gift for a banjo buddy--or even yourself :)

I love the way you play this song, Mary, and have heard it in an mp3 that sounds great. The sound quality on this video sounds pretty messed up.

[maryzcox]

Of course it does--it was recorded on a tiny digital camera with a built in mic. My MP3 was recorded in a good studio with a high quality mic. I probably really should not have put this up--but it was such a pretty day on the river--I thought it would be fun to share. :)

[Bisbonian]

Yeah, it's fun to see you play it...it was just a bit of a shame to hear the sound, when I knew how wonderful it really sounded.

[maryzcox]

Yes--know what you mean. When my oldest son found out that I recorded that on a digital camera--he wanted to strangle me. Digital cameras were never intended to record music. :) I was going to take it down, but the folks at Recording King really liked it and now it is on my artist page there--so I will have do make a better video to replace it before I can take it down. :)

Pretty ladie,

Good looking banjo.

So pretty and talented

[TinfootTall]

Well, considering what kind of noise one has to crawl through in the old archive recordings - this just fits right in perfectly. :D

[banjotuna]

you'd think you would have a nicer camra. with having such a nice banjo

[barefoothandyman]

I thought it sounded pretty darn good myself! I wanna learn to play this song! Thanks for posting!!

[cadjunk]

In a world becoming ever smaller, it is not unusual to see music styles cross borders and be adapted by other cultures. But there are few sounds more uniquely American than that of a banjo and the way that this woman plays it. When you close your eyes and hear her sweet music, there is only one region of the world you think of.

Your playing and sound are in league with that of Copeland, Gershwin and Bernstein. Sweet picking, ma'am. Thanks for the music.

I am glad you put this up. I always enjoy witnessing your music.
