At least as many for me….. the beat is mesmerizing!

Me too.

[@Dylan20]

Wow this tune is hypnotic. I love the way it just kinda gets in there and grooves around for awhile. I like your playing!

[@BennyBleu]

Thanks so much Dylan, getting in there and grooving around is my whole thing :)

[@ephemerics]

So rhythmic, rock steady yet so groovy. A pleasure to listen to - thanks!

I appreciate it!

[@harvdog5669]

@@BennyBleu Hey Benny, get yourself a old civil war style cap with a bill that is a Navy Blue in color. Maybe an old style U.S. CALVARY STYLE CAP THAT is navy blue..
That with your beard and the clothes you are wearing in video would go great with the tunes you play. And if you could start singing would be a really big plus. From a claw hammer fan..just a cool thought.
Period clothing is really cool stuff.. Have a blessed day.

[@rhohoho]

Fantastic! Hadn't heard this tune before, it's lovely.

[@victorvargas4120]

[@fp2386]

i play this tune in sawmill....i think i like your version better

[@WinterWilson]

This is gorgeous playing. I love this version and have been trying to work it out. I’m struggling with the second part, is there tab anywhere or a tutorial?

[@BennyBleu]

Thanks for playing along! If you want to sign up on the mailing list here: ( bennybleu.com/mailinglist/ ), I'll be sure to let you know when I make a tutorial for this tune. Possibly a tab too. Coming soon for all my banjo follwers!

[@lawr.h]

Fantastic playing 😍
May I be a nerd and ask about your banjo specs? It sounds lovely!

[@BennyBleu]

Thanks a lot! It's a Bart Reiter banjo, simple brass tone ring, heavy strings, I scooped the neck out. I try to coax the warm mellowness out of it.
