Different feel and sound with the gourd banjo and I totally dig it!
Thank you!!☺️💗
These fretless banjos are like listening to rain drops and the sounds as they hit pots and tin roofs. So peaceful
My family had to move to Canada because we were distillers in Salt Lake City. I love this. “Rye Whiskey” is a Goode too.
I’ll do a cover of Rye Whiskey sometime soon! I’d actually never heard it before reading your comment, but have fallen in love with the tune!
I wish the world would have the courtesy to be quiet for a few minutes while you sing!
Finally! The full version. Sounds excellent and a wonderful setting.
Thank you so much!❤
I like the melody being under the higher drone. That's a neat juxtaposition on normal. 👍
Thank you! I have only had this instrument a short time, and that wasn’t really an intentional stylistic choice, just what felt more organic to play.
I've been quite enjoying these covers. I'm not sure if it's the instrument, the chill laid back background, your style, or some other wonderous thing, but I could listen to them all day.
Glad you like them! That means a lot. It definitely inspires me to keep going ☺️
Fantastic! Love your voice and the banjo.
Thank you kindly!
This sounds so good! I wish we lived closer so we could jam. I'm currently growing some gourds to try my hand at making one of these instruments. :)
If you’re ever in eastern Canada let me know! Always down for a jam :)
OMG that was so freakin awesome! hey everybody = look @2:19 when she looks into the camera
Thanks!!
@@talisetunes any time dear - your music is beautiful and you made it even more so when you looked directly into that camera.
This is so good, great job lady!
Thank you so much!!
Love it! Great to see you playing a gourd banjo!
Thank you!💗💗
@@talisetunes keep em coming, your videos seem to get better everytime
Great playing, and singing. Lowly makes some great sounding banjos.
Im absolutely in love with this banjo! They are very talented
Thanks for posting another performance. Not seen (or heard) a banjo like that one before.
I was humming your last song all week.
Thank you so much for listening!💗
Everything about this video fits
Thank you❤
That sounds so cool . Never seen such an instrument. The sound kind of reminds of the Mekong Chapei Instrument Master Kong Nay and Ouch Savy play.
Thank you so much!💗 it’s an oak bodied hand carved gourd banjo from Lowly Mountain Banjos
Sounds great 🙂
Thank you!❤
Excellent!!!
Many thanks!
I envy your family and close friends their lives must feel very rich with you in them you certainly enrich mine even if for just a few moments
❤
Oh dear Lord its a gypsy hobbit. Be still my heart!
Tight
Thanks!
@@talisetunes ya man
Was moriarty the original composers of this song? Their live version is fantastic.
Nope. This is an old traditional song. Some of the lyrics are as old as the civil war.
@@Miglow no one knows the original author? I had suspected it was a cover of an old song but I couldn’t find any old classic versions of it so then I thought maybe it was a newer song.
@@darrenstettner5381 there's a wikipedia page about it if you want to read more on it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moonshiner
@@darrenstettner5381 it's a very old song with many versions. There's the Clancy Brothers version from Ireland (among other Irish artists). It featured on an episode of The Waltons. Plus versions by people like Bob Dylan. I even did a bit of a deep dive based on this comment. The lyrics go back to The Rebel Soldier, around the time of the Civil War. The melody itself is older than 1800. Written down by Niel Gow, a famous historical Scottish Fiddler, who called it an old highland song. There's also songs like Rye Whiskey by Tex Ritter that are quite different but obviously share quite a bit in terms of melons and lyrics. Another "version" of the song is Jack of Diamonds.
How close are you to the airport ?
Too close for comfort at the moment.
@@talisetunes love the music, sadly the airplane noise dose not help.
This looks like ai
Agreed.
I am unfortunately a real human being, but the fact that it’s a question nowadays is pretty scary in and of itself.
@@talisetunes I am relieved. You don't look like an AI in the other videos. Maybe it's a fluke of the light and camera settings?!
@@emm_arrI put my phone camera on the "cinematic" setting- perhaps that played part
@@emm_arr the image has a lot of softness and smeariness to it that probably comes down to the frame rate being similar to the 50 Hz rate like you see in the UK.
Nylon strings + no frets + low tuning = sounds bad
I’ve tried tuning it a bit higher, but the strings won’t stretch that far. I may switch out the nylon strings for the next tune I do.
