Um. She's awesome. I love her?

[CtwoHfive0H]

I like the looks of that peg head.

Wonderful ! Thank you.

Well she is playing a gourd banjo so the tone will sound different. Does that help?

[Marie Mandolin]

I like this very much. Thanks for sharing.

[Myold Cremona]

Enjoyable. I've tried stroke style but I never liked how it sounded when I do it. Funny think is, I like how everybody else does it, like your technique. Of course it might be that I come from a guitar picking background, so I finger pick my gutstring banjo.

I've enjoyed other music videos of you...and the groups you've been in.

the second tune sounds like an old minstrel tune called "coon hunt walkaround", does that ring a bell?

[Jake Tolbert]

Man. What keeps that peg head from collapsing? It looks like there's only toothpicks left on either side. Pretty awesome.

Minstrel banjo is such a unique and interesting style. Might have to learn it some day.
