Liz Newton I'm speechless. You're a machine. Lovesick blues was one that I couldn't understand. To me it has an echo sound to it that I couldn't get through. You've been really BUSY!! Thank you again for this effort. Ellen you should put Liz to work. Our UK ambassador. Has a nice ring to it.
@@Liz.Newton liz you are freaking awesome! A lot of folks are going to see the work you put in and I hope they comment their appreciation. "And then Ellen flew you to Branson and made you part of the booming Petersen's empire "- Liz chronicles
What I love about this group/family, in addition to everything all the other commentators have noted, is the way they look at each other. When you are a band you have to be in sync and you can see the Petersens watching each other for changes and breaks and when the song is going to end. Then there is the encouragement. When one is singing the others are watching her, giving happy vibes and encouraging looks. They aren't resenting that the other one gets to be in the spotlight for a song or two. Instead they seem happy that the singer is up there laying it out, getting their few minutes to shine. Then there is the simple joyfulness of the music. You can't have that kind of joy if you don't have great love in the band.
Nick Schaff Very true words..I played for three and half years in a rock and roll group in the early 1960's,and my group mates and myself had a rapport like the Peterson family...and we were just great pals..not related..no stars..we were as one!
@@tomgreene2282 what i intended on that statement was they are just plain good, and it might have come off like they are just good not great. hope not.
and look what's on TV these days when there are entertainers like this out there!!!!! Why bother with TV, just watch this instead... Thanks so much for the video!
Reminds me of my family. Lots of people can play different instruments and of course sing those great old country and hyme songs. We have lost most of our older generation and the new older generation doesn't get together hardly any. So miss all the picking and singing
Robin Seward Julianne who ends up on the mandolin was in the sixth grade then assuming that I can count. Mom, Karen, is the only one with a music degree.
My favorite thing about the Petersens is the improvement they've made over the years. Which is saying something, because this performance was exceptional!
Just learned that your awesome mother and father homeschooled you. Figures, your wholesome, genuine, spirit shows the love and care from dad and mom. Love you guys!
I was thinking the exact same thing. They are pretty good in this video. much better than average. But these days they are one another level good. This performance perfectly illustrates this. Amazing band PERIOD
As an Australian who loves Bluegrass music, this is sublime! Such talent and all from one family. The younger sister Miss Julianne would shortly join them and wow! Can that young lady sing!
Katie leads Daddy's Got a Gun so well! That mezzo quality in her timbre really gives the song a buzz and an edge. It's a great match for the mood and meaning of the song, but it seems it has been EQed out in the CDBaby version! I hope a version comes out that sounds more like live. I've got a feeling this song could suddenly go places. Katie also nails the rhythm and emphases in the song, including those punchy onsets, which are so important to the vibe.
This is the positive side of technology... Bringing such beauty into our lives... these guys exude Christ energy. My cynicism about the world just dissolves when I watch and listen to this pure talent. By their fruits shall ye know them 💚💚💚
Not a tattoo from head to toe , just a fresh of spring air. Thank you God for being with this family and the talent you gave them and their hard work of practicing ... Anyone can be cool 😎 ,But awesome takes practice 🙏
Segurament no tens problemes amb els tattoos només, possiblement tens problemes amb la intolerància i amb la diferència i fins i tot les febleses. Sigues feliç i accepta.
"The Petersens", Wow, Welcome to Auckland New Zealand, you guys Have only just got here by "TH-cam" in 2019, That 30 minutes was great,, what a happy bunch of people and Funny. I and all our sheep loved it. I'll look you up on youtube.
It's a privilege to get to here your family play and sing I wish you all the happiness that can be ! I hope to travel to Branson one day when I retire and get to here you all in person ! God Bless you all ! Great pickin and harmony there ! ❤👍👍
ok, this is seven years later... I just ran into this video and had to listen to it all. What good music; what joy their playing gives me. I'll have to go to Branson to thank them.
Ellen your voice on that solo, blue is so Soulful it's unbelievable. I've lived a while and I've heard that so many times but no one has done it any better than you did , thank you. And in the last 7 years your voice is just blossomed , I didn't think it could get any better but it has , you are so blessed.
I love the way they look at each other all the time. A look of love and pleasure and 'awkwardness' due to a slight shortage in room. I LOVE their music but I love their looks just as much.
Goodness Sakes!!! How much talent can one family have? In one video, Mom plays bass, Dad's not even on stage! Then brother plays bass, instead of guitar, and the "violin sister" plays uke! Here, Mom is on mandolin and Dad covers the bass! Love blood harmony; the best vocals ever. If there's strings on it- these folks seem to be able to play it? Talk about talented families... this family seems to have musical talent flowing and my favorite is the blood harmony. Thanks for sharing.
Well , that acapella song you all did, really shows where your talent is, it comes from your heart. You have mastered the instruments, but the true Talent is within you. No one can teach it , no one can be trained in it, it is a gift from God. And we are the Blessed ones because you have chosen to share it with all of us , thank you.
Oh my, I had not seen this one. Wow, just Wow! To see y'all then and where you are now, oh my goodness! You were great then but even so much more so now! God has blessed y'all so much and I know you don't take that for granted. It's amazing to see how much everyone, especially Julianne, hve blossomed as musicians and now the addition of Emmett makes it complete. Praises to Mom and Dad for dong things right!
I hope to meet you all some day in person in Branson. I'm a disabled vet from Montana and hope to some summer soon while I can still ride my motorcycle get there. So tremendously love listening to you.
Mr Petersen you look very happy with that bass in your hands and your very talented family about you sir. Our children learn love from their mothers but their sence of values and family unity comes from watching their fathers. From a father to a father my comment is simply, "Success" A wonderful family sir.
What a delightful performance in every way. Thank goodness the Jolene video went rather viral and introduced so many of us to your work. Not that it seems like work they way you all do it! But nobody gets this good without serious effort. Congratulations on finally getting a bit more of the recognition you deserve.
EXACTLY!!! That's how I found them, too! Immediately posted it to my FB page to share with 3,800+ other folks who appreciate talent and a wonderful family. God Bless You!
Man I can't stop listening to your vids!!! Just awesome! Love your music, your vibe, and how you just bring a smile to my face!!! All my love and prayers to your success, you deserve it!
I’m from the United Kingdom & love your music. Such a very talented family which must make your parents very proud. Would love to see you here in the UK one day when the world gets back to normal.
Hi Everyone! i started listening to your music a few weeks ago. I love it and have shared it with some dear friends. And something I realize that I love as much or more than your music, is the fun loving collaborative vibe that I feel from you all. So I have no favorites in the band and No, no marriage proposals from me, but I do want to say, YOU GUYS and GALS ROCK!!! Keep shining and sharing your hearts, it's so helpful and so appreciated. Thank you, sending you all love and hugs from Mexico. ❤❤❤
You folks are a fantastic and special group. I too retired from the Air Force and feel a small connection plus I love bluegrass music and y'all make it look like so much fun. Thank you!!
I like this TH-cam suggestion, to see your whole family on stage is cool. Since I’m kind of a newer fan I thought Katie was the quiet one it seems Katie can handle being front and center no problem. Loved the performance.
I am so grateful to have this performance to add to the much newer ones I have enjoyed. All the Petersens can sing but this is the first time I have heard Mother, with Ellen and Katie. WoW I can see where some of amazing soprano and alto magic is from. Ellen I truly love your singing. I'm not saying Katie is "chopped liver" it is just hard to say how great you all are. 5 STARS +++++
This is a back-handed compliment, I realize, but I must say its readily apparent how much they have improved in 6 years. They keep honing their skills, and the addition of some Franz family members sure helps. This was a good performance, no doubt, but every song in this video is vastly improved in recent performances. Practice, and a passion for what you do, yields mastery of a craft/art.
*0:38** LYRICS - If Wishes Were Horses*
------------
Well, I was born
With a dark cloud above me
A longing deep in my soul
Well, I was raised up right
An' I know my Mama loved me
But I begged her to let me go
She said, the grass is greener
On the other side
Somewhere there's a bluer sky
And I won't stop runnin' till I'm satisfied
And if wishes were horses
I would ride, ride, ride
You know I love you
My true companion
And you've been my lifelong friend
But there's a hunger inside me
That I know I can't abandon
Until I see what's around the bend
You know, the grass is greener
On the other side
Somewhere there's a bluer sky
And I won't stop runnin' till I'm satisfied
And if wishes were horses
I would ride, ride, ride
Now I've been a rogue
And I've been a rambler
I know too well my sins
I've got the faith of a saint
But the soul of a gambler
And a heart like the restless wind
You know, the grass is greener
On the other side
Somewhere there's a bluer sky
And I won't stop runnin' till I'm satisfied
And if wishes were horses
I would ride, ride, ride [x2]
Yeah if wishes were horses
I would ride, ride, ride

I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
Now I can easily understand
How you can easily take my man
You don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Now you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can [x2]
Please don't take him even though you can

*8:07** LYRICS - What a Beautiful Day (For the Lord to Come Again)*
------------
As I wake up in the morning
Of each day that passes by
And I listen to the sounds
Upon my ear
I can't help but keep a watch
Up t'ward the Eastern sky
And I wonder if the trumpet
Will be the next sound I hear
What a beautiful day
For the Lord to come again
What a beautiful day
For Him to take His children home
How I long to see His face
And touch His nail scarred hands
What a beautiful day
For the Lord to come again
All my earthly disappointments
And my trials down here below
Fade away when I remember
His last words
He said He'd return
And take His children home
And I'm longing just to look
Upon the face of my Lord
What a beautiful day
For the Lord to come again
What a beautiful day
For Him to take His children home
How I long to see His face
And touch His nail scarred hands
What a beautiful day
For the Lord to come again [x2]

Oh so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me

Oh so lonesome for you
Tears fill my eyes till I can't see
Three o'clock in the morning
Here am I
Sittin' here so lonely
So lonesome I could cry
Blue
Oh so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Now that it's over

Those sweet words you whispered
Were nothin' but lies

Oh baby, why can't you be blue over me

I've got the lovesick blues
Gotta feeling cause I'm blue, oh Lord
Since my daddy said goodbye
Don't know what I'm gonna do
All I do is sit and cry, oh Lord
That last long day he said goodbye
Oh Lord I thought I would die
He'll do ya, he'll do me
He's got that kinda lovin'
Lord I love to hear him when he calls me sweet baby
What a beautiful dream
I hate to think it all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to that man somehow
And I'm nobody's sugar baby now
'Cause I'm a-lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
Now I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy
That's what's the matter with me
Now I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy
But he don't care about me
Well I tried an' I tried to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn't stay
But now that he is a-leavin'
This is all I gotta say...
Gotta feeling cause I'm blue, oh Lord
Since my daddy said goodbye
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to that man somehow
And I'm nobody's sugar baby now
'Cause I'm a-lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
I've grown so used to that man, and how
I'm nobody's sugar baby now

Well, we're sitting around the house
And, well, it must be half past four
When I hear that hollow knockin'-knockin'
Comin' from the door
Well, Mama runs an' hides on me
And Ellen hit the floor
'Cause Dad just grabbed his Remington
The battle cry for war
And they come knockin'-knockin'-knockin'
Knockin'-a-knocking, knockin' at my door
An' I look right at my sister
'Cause we've seen it all before
And here comes good old Daddy
Man, he sure is havin' fun
So goodbye so long, sorry boys
My Daddy's got a gun
And now we're shoppin' at the mall
An' here comes Tom and Billy Joe
An' my sis an' me both turn to flee
And pray they get down low
'Cause they’re the ones that asked us
To the dance, but we said no
So 3-2-1, out comes the gun
Already set to go
'Cause they come knockin'-knockin'-knockin'
Knockin'-a-knocking, knockin' at my door
An' I look right at my sister
'Cause we've seen it all before
And here comes good old Daddy
Man, he sure is havin' fun
So goodbye so long, sorry boys
My Daddy's got a gun
And they come knockin'-knockin'-knockin'
Knockin'-a-knocking, knockin' at my door
An' I look right at my sister
'Cause we've seen it all before
And here comes good old Daddy
Man, he sure is havin' fun
So goodbye so long, sorry boys
'Cause they come [knocking]
Knockin' at my door
An' I look right at my sister
'Cause we've seen it all before

*28:09** LYRICS - Kentucky Borderline*
------------
She pulled out of Mobile
In the pouring rain
Movin' through the darkness
Like a hurricane
From southern New Port waters
To the Cumberland so green
Louisville by Nashville
An' all points in between
Pounding out a rhythm
Making up lost time
Heading for that
Bluegrass state of mine
White smoke a-rollin'
Whistle blowin'
Listenin' to her engine keepin' time
Kentucky borderline
Montgomery my morning
Birmingham by noon
Onward through the timber
Upward to the moon
Her lonesome whistle cries
A low sighed refrain
Like the boys down on Mill Street
Singin' of the pain
Nothing can ever stop her
From her appointed rounds
This train is moving on
It's glory bound
White smoke a-rollin'
Whistle blowin'
Listenin' to her engine keepin' time
Kentucky borderline
Her lungs are full of fire
Breathin' burnin' coal
Her ragin' locomotion
Like thunder when it rolls
Singin' for the mighty
Who cast her molten steel
Drawed the spike and laid the rail
To ride beneath her wheels
The pride of our nation
She's a monument to them
A southern bell
That mighty L&N
White smoke a-rollin'
Whistle blowin'
Listenin' to her engine keepin' time
Kentucky borderline [x2]
Kentucky borderline

This may have occurred 9 years ago, but it’s as fresh as the morning dew!! Bravo! Thank You 👋💚

Since I started watching The Petersens, mom has always been on the bass. It's nice to finally see a video from when she played the mandolin.
First time I've seen mom on the mandolin. The coolest mother ever !!
Robin Seward Julianne who ends up on the mandolin was in the sixth grade then assuming that I can count. Mom, Karen, is the only one with a music degree.
She is great on the mandolin. Love this whole family!
there is so much stuff called music , but when you hear this family...u know what music should sound like ....
This dad is AWSOME.... he had this planned...... and executed it perfectly! GOD BLESS this family!
It is wonderful to see an entire family playing music together. 😍
My favorite thing about the Petersens is the improvement they've made over the years. Which is saying something, because this performance was exceptional!
That family has some strong genes for talented, beautiful girls
Musically, the Petersens are the best sound in country and bluegrass today.
Just learned that your awesome mother and father homeschooled you. Figures, your wholesome, genuine, spirit shows the love and care from dad and mom. Love you guys!
If Ellen sang the phonebook, I'd listen. I can't say just how much I'm still in love with the entire family here in 2024.
People don't realize how hard it is to pick a banjo and sing like that , amazing tallent.
Katie is a great spoke's person. Amazing family.
spokesperson
John Foley 😂
John Foley Mr Spoke invented the bike tire. Then settled in Spokane Washington, which he named after his wife.
That little Julianne is sooo adorable! 😊
Amazing to look at this older video. The growth these musicians have made is phenomenal. They were good here but now they are over the top
Yes! You have to hear Ellen Petersen Haygood singing in church! This is amazing! th-cam.com/video/IwH046Rjz9Q/w-d-xo.html
I was thinking the exact same thing. They are pretty good in this video. much better than average. But these days they are one another level good. This performance perfectly illustrates this. Amazing band PERIOD
As an Australian who loves Bluegrass music, this is sublime! Such talent and all from one family. The younger sister Miss Julianne would shortly join them and wow! Can that young lady sing!
What a beautiful family! God bless America.
A rare treat, Julianne fiddling, at age 12. Ellen singing Bill Mack’s Blue from the middle 50’s is always a great treat.
Their voices,faces and musics reflect the beauty of theirs heart.
The most beautiful of all is the beauty of a united and honest family. Where musical creation is a reflection of the interior. Amazing
Warm greetings from far away Croatia and may you play and sing till the end of time.You are true blessing.
This is the kind of music that makes me smile. Thank you all!
awesome Mama & Dad raising talented and loving children
The Petersens is the only blue grass I listen to on a regular basis. Keep up the good work.
Katie leads Daddy's Got a Gun so well! That mezzo quality in her timbre really gives the song a buzz and an edge. It's a great match for the mood and meaning of the song, but it seems it has been EQed out in the CDBaby version! I hope a version comes out that sounds more like live. I've got a feeling this song could suddenly go places. Katie also nails the rhythm and emphases in the song, including those punchy onsets, which are so important to the vibe.
This is the positive side of technology... Bringing such beauty into our lives... these guys exude Christ energy. My cynicism about the world just dissolves when I watch and listen to this pure talent. By their fruits shall ye know them 💚💚💚
Not a tattoo from head to toe , just a fresh of spring air. Thank you God for being with this family and the talent you gave them and their hard work of practicing ... Anyone can be cool 😎 ,But awesome takes practice 🙏
In Russia tatoos are a sign of criminals, so 95 % of girls and women do not have any. So pick me up in Germany and I will show you around there! :)
Segurament no tens problemes amb els tattoos només, possiblement tens problemes amb la intolerància i amb la diferència i fins i tot les febleses. Sigues feliç i accepta.
How could anyone dislike this performance.
Really like to hear Ellen sing Blue. Just beautifully done!
David S Bill Mack would be really pleased.
I believe Katie can do some Texas fiddle.!
This family is breathtakingly talented ♥
Great musicians and vocalists! They have developed their God given talents and are using them to bless others. Thank you, Petersons.
"The Petersens", Wow, Welcome to Auckland New Zealand, you guys Have only just got here by "TH-cam" in 2019, That 30 minutes was great,, what a happy bunch of people and Funny. I and all our sheep loved it. I'll look you up on youtube.
This is magic. Heaven. My life is changed forever after watching and hearing this family.
Petersen family, what a discover for me! They are simply incredible. Thank you very much indeed.
You have to hear Ellen Petersen Haygood singing in church! Amazing! th-cam.com/video/IwH046Rjz9Q/w-d-xo.html
SO in love with this family and old fashioned American Music
Our favorite Branson group! Real down-home-clean-talent. Love them and love watching them grow and get better and better each year! The Marcums
It's a privilege to get to here your family play and sing I wish you all the happiness that can be ! I hope to travel to Branson one day when I retire and get to here you all in person ! God Bless you all ! Great pickin and harmony there ! ❤👍👍
Its a modest and full of positive energy group...thank you
ok, this is seven years later... I just ran into this video and had to listen to it all. What good music; what joy their playing gives me. I'll have to go to Branson to thank them.
Nice to see Mom and Dad in action! Greatings for all of You from Poland :-)
Is this one family? I have no words. So many great voices and musicans. This is perfect.
Ellen your voice on that solo, blue is so Soulful it's unbelievable. I've lived a while and I've heard that so many times but no one has done it any better than you did , thank you. And in the last 7 years your voice is just blossomed , I didn't think it could get any better but it has , you are so blessed.
99x the musical talent than 99% of what is on the radio today. So glad i'm able to enjoy.
I love the way they look at each other all the time. A look of love and pleasure and 'awkwardness' due to a slight shortage in room. I LOVE their music but I love their looks just as much.
Goodness Sakes!!! How much talent can one family have? In one video, Mom plays bass, Dad's not even on stage! Then brother plays bass, instead of guitar, and the "violin sister" plays uke! Here, Mom is on mandolin and Dad covers the bass! Love blood harmony; the best vocals ever.
If there's strings on it- these folks seem to be able to play it? Talk about talented families... this family seems to have musical talent flowing and my favorite is the blood harmony. Thanks for sharing.
I believe there is at least one brother and one sister that aren't even on stage here...
I see the youngest did make it on stage.
That is Dad on the Bass!
@@dudleycornman1624 i think Matt is the only son but Emmet joined later on.
What a talented family Mom and dad did good
So nice to see mum in action. Also the great support from dad. wish you well. MALC UK
That's what we love America for. Greetings from Russia and Merry Christams to you guys
awesome, awesome kentucky borderline... your music and spirit are always so uplifting !
So glad to see Mom singing backup and jamming the Mandolin. God bless you guys.
I love the ease in which you access both the chest and head voice. Absolutely beautiful.
Well , that acapella song you all did, really shows where your talent is, it comes from your heart. You have mastered the instruments, but the true Talent is within you. No one can teach it , no one can be trained in it, it is a gift from God. And we are the Blessed ones because you have chosen to share it with all of us , thank you.
Great, great, great! Thank you.😃
OMG. These girls are incredibly talented AND BRIGHT.
Oh my, I had not seen this one. Wow, just Wow! To see y'all then and where you are now, oh my goodness! You were great then but even so much more so now! God has blessed y'all so much and I know you don't take that for granted. It's amazing to see how much everyone, especially Julianne, hve blossomed as musicians and now the addition of Emmett makes it complete. Praises to Mom and Dad for dong things right!
I hope to meet you all some day in person in Branson. I'm a disabled vet from Montana and hope to some summer soon while I can still ride my motorcycle get there. So tremendously love listening to you.
congratulations, a lot of beautiful family, the parents did a great job
This is probably the cutest family ever !!
Awesome! Just one talented family. You must go see them at "The Little Opry Theater" in Branson, Missouri.
This never gets old
They're so good to listen to.
I just wish I was there that night. How talented and warm can a family get?
❤ Love in sight ❤ & motion ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 : Wonderful 🇨🇦 : A fan from Canada : Thank U for sharing your talents 😊.
Mr Petersen you look very happy with that bass in your hands and your very talented family about you sir. Our children learn love from their mothers but their sence of values and family unity comes from watching their fathers. From a father to a father my comment is simply, "Success" A wonderful family sir.
God Bless Your Family! 😇Your Amazing!😊 Get it mama 😂
Wow! That last song...wonderful! Thanks
Thats the good part about TH-cam: recommending videos I would never have known about. So, great video and music and family.
What a delightful performance in every way. Thank goodness the Jolene video went rather viral and introduced so many of us to your work. Not that it seems like work they way you all do it! But nobody gets this good without serious effort. Congratulations on finally getting a bit more of the recognition you deserve.
EXACTLY!!! That's how I found them, too! Immediately posted it to my FB page to share with 3,800+ other folks who appreciate talent and a wonderful family. God Bless You!
Andrew McP 🙏🏼Amen
I actually found Gentle on my mind first.
Like someone said in another video comment, "I would like to see the woman who could take Ellen's man, what is she, a 12."
I love it. What a great Family.👍
You Can't help but smile watching these folks!
Man I can't stop listening to your vids!!! Just awesome! Love your music, your vibe, and how you just bring a smile to my face!!! All my love and prayers to your success, you deserve it!
I’m from the United Kingdom & love your music. Such a very talented family which must make your parents very proud. Would love to see you here in the UK one day when the world gets back to normal.
Hi Everyone! i started listening to your music a few weeks ago. I love it and have shared it with some dear friends. And something I realize that I love as much or more than your music, is the fun loving collaborative vibe that I feel from you all. So I have no favorites in the band and No, no marriage proposals from me, but I do want to say, YOU GUYS and GALS ROCK!!! Keep shining and sharing your hearts, it's so helpful and so appreciated. Thank you, sending you all love and hugs from Mexico. ❤❤❤
You folks are a fantastic and special group. I too retired from the Air Force and feel a small connection plus I love bluegrass music and y'all make it look like so much fun. Thank you!!
That version of Blue.....OH MY!!!!! So good.
I like this TH-cam suggestion, to see your whole family on stage is cool. Since I’m kind of a newer fan I thought Katie was the quiet one it seems Katie can handle being front and center no problem. Loved the performance.
Clearly they all love what they are doing and that love and enthousiasm rays off to their public.
Wonderfull, I love it !!!
Absolutely incredible!
Ellen and Katie both have amazing voices. What an incredibly and well grounded family.
I am so grateful to have this performance to add to the much newer ones I have enjoyed. All the Petersens can sing but this is the first time I have heard Mother, with Ellen and Katie. WoW I can see where some of amazing soprano and alto magic is from. Ellen I truly love your singing. I'm not saying Katie is "chopped liver" it is just hard to say how great you all are. 5 STARS +++++
You guys bring so much joy to my heart. You exemplify family life. I thank God for you all. John from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Love to see you singing with your Mum and Dad. Nearest way I will see you in concert. God bless you all 😜
This is a back-handed compliment, I realize, but I must say its readily apparent how much they have improved in 6 years. They keep honing their skills, and the addition of some Franz family members sure helps. This was a good performance, no doubt, but every song in this video is vastly improved in recent performances. Practice, and a passion for what you do, yields mastery of a craft/art.
Great music and I love Katie as the spokesperson. A very talented family.
Wow that banjo work was exceptional, thanks for sharing your talent and inspiration!! 🙏🙏🙏
A perfect symbol of America.
A perfect symbol of USA.America is a continente.America is Argentina,Brasil Mejico ,Canada.Os creeis el culo de, mundo
У нас в России они имели бы оглушительный успех
... And you really think there are no such families in other countries?
@@АлександрНиколай-ъ9ш add.

Country songs es uno de los generos musicales que yo ADMIRO bastante y ME GUSTA !!! saludos de Peru amigos.
