If I Only Had a Brain- Clawhammer Banjo Arrangement

- If I only had a brain, I would have realized that my dad was working on a project in the backyard and filmed somewhere else. Ah well, we got a good video in the end. Didn't get enough wind to spin the propeller hat though. This was a really fun song to arrange! I think the melody fits the banjo sound very well, and with a little clawhammer styling thrown in, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!
Shoutout to Schmudge the terrier and Lollie the corgi for running around like crazy and causing mischief. Maybe I'll get them to sit still with me for a video one of these days.

This is so refreshing. When TH-cam was innocent and real.
I think this just proves that part of it still is especially with musicians. You just have to know where to look
that propellor hat is literally the coolest
Totally agree! It’s epic awesome sauce!
Love the honesty in your tunes
The biggest shout-out to that human wandering around seeking garbage with perfect timing and to the cute little dog
The hat is like a Jughead Jones crown hat combined with a propeller beanie!
I have been avoiding the news (always bad & sad) and instead, found your music and spirit totally uplifting - thank you!
This one's so cute! Of course the propeller hat, but the dog sniffing the camera, and a cameo by your Dad. But best of all is that you arranged a tune from the Wizard of Oz! How wackily cool. Thanks, Phoebe!
Being a somewhat older person I sang the loud parts "out loud". I know what you were singing silently! Having grown up watching the " Wizard of OZ" and being from Kansas this is a special song for me! Thank You!
How I love this tune - never heard it on banjo, and now I'm just so happy.
Love the hat, Love the happy creatures and really love the banjo...just don't fly away!
I always sing this song to myself when at work
I'm sure this has been said time and again, but you and your music always bring a genuine smile into my day. Thank you and keep up the great work.
I was expecting to see Oscar jump outta the trash can 😂 - you got there in the end - nice!
Doggo cameo! They're adorable!
I notice how you can play without looking at the neck. I’m impressed by that. You are playing with feeling. I’m an old guy who plays guitar. I love banjo and thanks for being there with that beautiful smile
The great ones make it look soooooo easy.
Decades upon decades in the future, this will be the coolest old lady anyone has ever known.
You are AWESOME!!!!
I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Piper. She loves your playing also!
I love that you include your furry friends in your videos and show your special love for them when they surround you with their love!
Thank you for your inspiration Phoebe, your gift is beautiful!
Love the pupper half-time show
As someone who was once the Tin Man in a production, I have a soft spot for any "If I Only Had A" song, and this one was so well done. I loved it.
Sounds great. Banjo is the perfect instrument for that song. You just want to sing along.
Hi Phoebe. Love your banjo playing. When I was a kid I had a Beanie and Cecil propeller beanie that you could wind up and when you pulled the chinstrap the propeller would fly off (I'm an old geezer). Thank you for your music. Also, I am a fan of the Wizard of Oz {books and movie). I remember when they used to play the movie once a year like a holiday.
The little sister of the girl next door. Your videos always cheer me up.
I love this! The tune, your playing, the dogs, but most of all the hat! Keep it up, young lady. You're a ray of sunshine!
this was absolutely the most fun i had all day, and i had a REALLY fun day! thank you so much for topping it all off :)
We watched that movie every year. ❤❤❤❤❤
My brother and I were just talking about the fact that back in the day we would wait each year for November to roll around because they would air the Wizard of Oz on TV…
🤣 the blue shirted kaki bottomed creature!
💙 🪕 🎶
Oh enjoyable songed one.
You should have two counter-rotating propellers, so that once they start spinning, they don't spin you around due to conservation of angular momentum.
Wait for it!!!
Ha ha! "If I only had brain" -- a complete poem in 5 words! Look closely!
Gorgeous beautiful hat!
Nice playin!
No no, it sez "If I only had a brain". No, wait, that's a bug on my screen. It crawled off
Thanks for brining a smile to my face. Like Steve Martin said,can’t e sad while playing the banjo!
Scarecrow and countrygirl all in one! Now ya just need a lion, tinman and dog! 💛
Great tune....I forgot about it!!! And the hat made me smile which I needed today. Much love kid.❤😎✌
I am tapping my foot to this tune. Thank you for sharing your banjo playing with the world. We really love it!! From an old washboard player in Sydney Australia.
Great entertainment with real people living real lives. And Dogs too. Life is real fun when you live your life for the Lord. Thanks Phoebe.
The last part of that video made me laugh so much. Very sweet!
That was great and from one of favorite movies. Thank you !!!
Bless your beautiful Self and that Corgi!
Thanks! Love life, be safe.❤️🌹
Love it ❤
Pheobe you are amazing. That was terrific!
This off the wall wry humour is delightful
Dimples and banjo skills gonna open a lot of doors for you gal.
Your propeller reminds me of "Karlsson vom Dach" by Astrid Lindgren...perhaps you know...! I do like your vids - I don't know how - but I get so relaxed by watching you! Stay tuned...! Greetings from Germany! 🥰
Now I know I have a heart, because it's so happy!!! Doc, this may be my favorite thus far, along with the Christmas carol medley. Thanks for another maximum strength dose of banjo, dogs, and Dad! (Hi Dad!) ❤❤❤❤❤
Cute song, cute outtakes, and it's so GREEN where you are! Signed, jealous in the midwest
loved the trash an finale!
Thanks for the outtakes! 😂
Lovely hat! I belive it would look great together with the sweater (yes, you know what sweater I mean)!😊
Nicely done kiddo,
I don't play clawhammer but I enjoyed this, I do pick a 5-string and guitar. Wish I had started when I was younger.... Nice Job.
That was great ' a lovely atmosphere with hilarious outtakes '
Love all the critter action!
...hard to play slow, aint it? Great job! Love the Goober hat!
I love your playing! You are a bright, beautiful girl with a great talent. And you figured out the notes to this song!
Why can’t Phoebe Sanders run for President?!? The world would be so much more peaceful with her playing her banjo on the front porch of the White House.
Wicked sweet, the scarecrow was always my favorite!
Beamie, since it is a Moon Pie Panjo its lovey sounds are like beams from a loving moon.
Good one Phoebe, I got a hat like yours we call him jughead hats. I made it years ago from old cowboy hat. I do not have a propeller on it. I'll take a picture of it sometime and send it to you.
Also known as crown hats. Originally made from old fedoras. Made famous by the character Jughead from the Archie comics.
The animals crashing the party was fun.
I love dogs in guitar vids so it's no surprise that The Good Dogs would make this vid better! 😂
Nice!
I'm all about that 👍🥸
3:30 interrupted by love ❤️
Massive thumbs up for the playing (as always) but also the propeller hat! 👍
Love the hat! I'll give you a dollar for it!
Love it.
I really thought your dad was Dan Povenmire for a second. But great song and well played!
I never realized it before but that's a perfect banjo song.
Hi from New Zealand. Thank you that was delightful.
Goober... Fantastic
All the retakes reminds me of some of the short videos I attempt to do. Sometimes, it goes smoothly, but then there are times when you can't seem to get 5 minutes without an interruption.
Love the propeller hat!
Love the hat!
lovely chaos
Thanks! Phoebe 🎶🪕
Love your creativity, your music & your animals very uplifting, thank you 😊 ❤ Cathy
Loved the outtakes! Your dogs are the cutest!!
I loved it! it made me smile today . Frail on!
Absolutely wonderful! And I'm glad the hat didn't take you up before the tune was over.
PerfectPerfect
Great girl... Loved your talent and patience....👍⭐🏴
That cap would be great for the next time you play I'll Fly Away.
Wonderful playing and a Corgi. What could be better?
Loving your output. Keep it coming and let me know when your gigging in Scotland.
I do love your hat
Very nice! I play this song on mandolin a lot , but you're right, it does fit the banjo very well🙂
Ah…my theme song! 😂
😂
LOVE the hat!
I'm a big fan of that headstock.
Delightful!! Thanks for sharing. Ax
You are so cool, Girl!! ❤
