I don't think many people understand exactly how hard it is to play this song the way that he does. It is very difficult just playing the song itself but to add the motions and extra stuff he adds is crazy.
I have never been so inspired by an instrument like I have been of late by the banjo. I started learning how to play about 30 years ago; but that was pretty short lived as, my step mother-who was also learning to play-was getting quite discouraged by my progress as compared to hers. I have recently taken it up again and I am thoroughly excited by it.
I love TH-cam for this type of stuff. You'd never see the likes on today's celebrity obsessed tv because it's not trendy enough or it wouldn't make enough money. But to me we're the ones losing out as stuff like this is priceless.
@Sigi Streele,...you're so right....catch a plane and go visit USA,you're gonna love the Country and it's people....warning....once you've been over there...you wanna go back and back and back,hahahaa.....Eric from Holland salutes Sigi and America.
@@ericnijkamp7926 If you are white, haha. Otherwise it's a problem. But fun fact, here is a swedish version from this song with an ABBA member th-cam.com/video/xTA8HOzo2mM/w-d-xo.html
56 years ago we sang this in most weekly music lessons in secondary school, I can still remember most of the words too. In England, it's 'My grandfather's clock'.
Ein Wunderbarer Babyospieler, bin richtig begeistert. Der Herr spielt mit ganzem Herzen, ein Musiker mit Talent , 🙏👍schade dass es von solchen Menschen so wenig gibt. Herzlichen Dank, 🌹👍könnte Stundenlang zu hören🔥💘
Just spent $400 to have my Pappy’s mantle clock repaired. The ticking of it brings me great comfort. I could have bought a nicer one online but it’s definitely the sentimental value. Thank you for sharing.
Hi how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Patti from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.
Prachtig lied wel passend als er eën van klokken hield was het mijn Opa wel was klokkengek R.I.P❤🇳🇱🙏👋🧭maar dan een Friese klok ( hijzelf was een echte Groninger)
Cada vez q veo este video mo puedo dejar de reproducirlo una y otra vez....deb tener ya varios años este video pwro se nota que es un buen musico.....me gustaria saber su biografía....saludos desde aegentina!!!
daduck100 same here. No one sings wonderful songs like that anymore. We would knock a woodblock on the off beats after stopped X short X never to run again, when the old man died.
" My Grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf. So it stood 90 years on the floor". It was taller of course than the old man himself. But it weighed not a penny weight more". " It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born". " And was always his treasure and pride". " But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died".
God I remember being in Year 5 (17 years ago, I'm 26 this July, god I'm getting old) my teacher on his piano playing this song and us singing along to it. This song has stuck with me for more than a decade and a half and I love it still cos of the memories of my childhood.
Just wish you were here in Northern Ireland or the South, you would be a huge Hit here trust me, you'd make millions entertaining people from all a round the World and Ireland is the starting point for it, just watch. You would never leave here, we would keep you because your a folk song person.
Hi Dave how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Patti from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.

So true, and I won't be throwing around my heavy banjo like Leroy does!
I don't think people understand how hard it is to play that instrument in general ... it's not your basic guitar or bass that's for sure.
@@KeepSycklids lol right? I would rather play a tenor banjo. The 5ths tuning thing is awesome with them.
Makes me wanna play. By the time I’m his age I’ll have something to do in retirement.
actually the Banjo is one of the easiest instruments to learn@@KeepSycklids
That was my old dad's favourite song, he was always singing it, and I still remember all the words. My dad been dead almost 30 years and I'm 75.
Sounds like your father had great taste in music, hope it brings you fond memories of him when this song pops back into your head. Mike, UK
Was my fathers fave too and hes been dead 50 years he died a few weeks after I turned 21.
I am Luis from Argentina, Italian descendant, I speak Spanish and I like American country music ... This is a hymn, thank you very much ...

Was fortunate to share the stage with him a few times, he is exactly off stage as he is on, he is the real deal
Hi this is such cool music. Thank you sir for playing it. See you, Ladoss.

Amazing and super entertaining. Love the actions as well as the playing.

@@gavRirvine what are the lyrics and does it take 1 1/2 minutes to get started.
@@gentlestormtoo put in grandather clock song on youtube, there are loads of versions with lyrics
@@gavRirvine Why didn't I think of that; never mind don't answer that. Even Johnny Cash has a version.

We used to sing this song in music class in my high school days. Graduated 1957.
omg, so glad I fell across this one, what a hoot!! Love it!! 💜
Mijn grootvader's klok was een liefhebber van de muziek Indrukwekkend ❤🇳🇱🌹👋
Been searching for years for this 😊
This is the same tune from my favorite Fischer Price Grandfather Clock. When my first one broke, I cried so hard my parents bought me another.
I love this song so emotional good song back in the 60s and 70s. How are you Susan ?
@@ericsmith8708ciao Eric!🙋😊😘💘🌅
What a sweet man. We sung this song in the forth grade [I am now 66 years old] and it always made be feel a bit sad but this version was full of fun.
Reminds me when my dad and his brothers would play a lot of memories
Hi how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Patti from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.

Leroy Troy is an awesome banjo player his music is great I like him all the way around I first discovered him a year ago or so ♥️
Adore this song full stop, but this is one of the best versions I’ve heard of it ❤
Hello how are you doing?
Leroy Troy is a Chad among Chads and one of my favorite entertainers of all time.
Wow that’s a superb version
I always like to hear Leroy play that banjo.
Ah, old memories. My mother used to sing this one.
Nice
Lol theres no lyrics to sing
@@DesignAccent there is
Same i remeber she sang this to me in japanese my grandma is nice
@@DesignAccent yes there is Leroy Troy just chooses not to sing the lyrics he is not the person who wrote the song he just made a comedy version of it
Being 12 and in love with Leroy is amazing!!!
In French : Toujours aussi bien. Bravo
I'm in my sixties, and learned that in elementary school. I still remember all of the words.
Cada vez q veo este video mo puedo dejar de reproducirlo una y otra vez....deb tener ya varios años este video pwro se nota que es un buen musico.....me gustaria saber su biografía....saludos desde aegentina!!!
very clever fella.. and very amusing with total skill.. wow.. thanks for sharing..
Absolutely brillant. Great performance. My god ! Marie from France
some mighty fancy pick work must say fantastic.
Enjoyed it greatly. First time to hear it on the banjo.
I wish he'd sung the words to that great old tune.We used to sing this song in school when we were kids.
daduck100 same here. No one sings wonderful songs like that anymore. We would knock a woodblock on the off beats after stopped X short X never to run again, when the old man died.

great ! very well played ! love from France
" My Grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf. So it stood 90 years on the floor". It was taller of course than the old man himself. But it weighed not a penny weight more".

My Grandfather used to sing this to me in the 1950s UK with no accompaniment. I never looked at clocks the same way again
Bella musica y que calidad tiene el hombre con el instrumento.😘😘😘saludos desde Argentina.
I came across Ghost Chickens by accident. It popped up when was watching something else...love this song...
A big favorite from my childhood in Appalachia :) Love this "sprung" version lol!
One of the songs every elem music class sang years ago. A wood block clicks after stopped X short X never to run again. Make music great again.
He's a true national treasure.
@Hello Grand how are you doing
@@lydialas8756in
the true and old country music of fifty years
We need more of this
Troy cracks me up, he hasn't changed a bit. LOL!
The legend himself.
Giving his pals a good scare by flopping his banjo around.
Great music i don’t care who’s playing. But it is special when a young one can do it hats off to everyone involved
What, nothing at all.. Perfectly created. Respect!:D)
Saw Leroy preform this live he’s an awesome banjo player and entertainer.............. great
I remember it as a child, but not since the 1970's, but love it.
Looking forward for the next REPLAY event fans get in action, this is suuuuper wow
You my favorite...Watching from Paua New Guinea🇵🇬
I love that intro. I have got to learn that!
Good music love these grew up listening at home and church
Hi
How are you doing... nice meeting you here
Where are you from
But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died! Love this song🎼
Always been one of my favorites. But it needs words to tell the story.
that was lovely thank you
masters of their instruments, there are no better!
Came here from Billy Strings. So different yet the same. Both very talented. Both doing it their way
I see the way he uses his Banjo as the pendulum of the clock.
you did notice, did you? Great!
God I remember being in Year 5 (17 years ago, I'm 26 this July, god I'm getting old) my teacher on his piano playing this song and us singing along to it. This song has stuck with me for more than a decade and a half and I love it still cos of the memories of my childhood.
Un maestro, un monumento al folk!!!
Talentoso y muy divertido.

That man has a real talent on the Banjo reminds me of Duelling Banjos
No you don't say, not Leroy. He can't really play a banjo. But he is learning real good now. Lol
