    Some men are born to greatness. Others have greatness thrust upon them. Still others play the banjo.

    it is rare for a once in a century messianic figure who transcends humanity so uniquely to remain this humble and level-headed. Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Noam Pikelny.

    Esteemed Mnsr Pikelny... I adore your musical practise having spent now nearly 5 decades in my practise with much time spent on the Banjo here in Australia. Now Noam.......this video is superb!!! You have nailed that type of humor that us Aussies call 'taking the piss' Now.....please tell me that in this video is you are taking the piss mate.....otherwise I have to accept that you have narcissistic tendencies......oh my lord.....existential crisis.....who is taking the piss....you or me....

    Noam is so cool. His humor is very funky. Even in person.
    Like my eyebrows looked funky and we took a pic. He said not to tag him because he hadn't had his eyebrows done.

    Musical talent - and a huge sense of humour, too. Banjo, guitar, that strange, beautiful resonator thingy; I forgot the great voice, too. What a b*st*rd! He should be ashamed of being so talented.

    I love this so much! I've seen Noam three times - twice with the Punch Brothers and once solo at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago (for the Universal Favorite Tour). The humor in this video just continued even more at the solo show. It was so fantastic!
    Also, I agree...he is the hot Punch Brother!

    Saw Punch Bro's last night, I was right up front. I yelled "YOU MY BOY, PICKLES!" and I -know- *think* he heard it, but that was probably a mistake. They take their music pretty seriously. I felt dumb afterwards. Sometimes I just think when there's someone that can fucking shred on a banjo, they deserve more credit. Everyone cheered for the violin and mandolin the most. C'mon now, don't be hatin' on the banjo.
