Toute l’âme du Jam est là! JOYEUSEMENT contagieux! Vous vous mettez à trépigner des pieds, à danser et sautiller comme un gosse, banane jusqu’aux oreilles, et vous voilà comme un gamin qui s’éclate, ou comme un cowboy, clamant «Yahouou!!» sur son cheval au galop entre les branches, ou dans une plaine ou sur une plage, et le vent dans les cheveux, la vitesse qui vous grise, et le bonheur qui vous habite. C’est juste la vie, l’adrénaline sans alcool ni médoc, sans fric ni frime, juste quelques copains, des cordes, un plancher ou le pavé… et c’est parti mon kiki !!! Et se laisser emporter par le flot jubilatoire et rythmé d’une musique coup de fouet, popu, marrante et vraie… Je pourrais jouer ou danser des heures sans fatigue sur ces airs-là... et que ça fait du bien!

[@michaelbarnett2527]

Translation: It was great !

[@thedigitalscribe9621]

Ok we’re me up to….let’s go 8,000th Time, here I am again…SAAAALY!

Great job all. Killed it on guitar man! That's the right way it's done on guitar. LOL

[@dianefranklin4661]

This has got to be one of the best Sally Ann's I have heard, and I listen to all that I have occasion too!

[@michaeltorode8689]

2014th time

[@Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr]

Nicely done.. Great twin fiddles.. and the guitar has the runs down flawlessly!

[@thedigitalscribe9621]

Maybe 6,000 now

[@CadillacL]

Now that's how it's done! I love the dancing @ the beginning. Hope to see more of that!!

[@edotoole]

Such remarkable talent here on display. I enjoyed every second.

[@reybarreto7979]

Boisterous and fun and full of life! Makes me want to dance like the girl in this video. This looks like a spontaneous gathering at the porch with improvisation throughout the song, yet their instruments meshed into one voice wonderfully. Well done! They are welcome to play on my porch anytime.

[@AmiraSmyrna]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ this SO MUCH!!!!!

[@TheTeacher1020]

Wonderful ensemble work! Thanks for posting!

[@TheIronshaper]

Wonderful music! It doesn't get any better than this!

[@angelocito1]

You have a lot to be proud about. Carrying on one of the few traditions in the USA that are worthwhile maintaining.

[@doloughtydoloughty]

Don't change a thing. The best music ever. Asa Martin and old Doc are watching.

[@graemewilliams1308]

Best version on YT.

[@stepno]

I think I've been tapping "like" on this great clip every few months for two or three years and it never seems to stick. This time my click moved the counter to 620. And I'll be back. Some of my favorite folks from Augusta, Floyd and points between. And how does Anna make basketball soles slide like that?! ;-)

[@claudelandreville1181]

Bravo, a nice jam session!

[@miketillotson5059]

Sweet and driven, thanks. (Around 3:55+ the guitar player talks, without interrupting his excellent flow. It looks easy. Very few players can do that)

[@jamo3778]

God, I love this!

[@michaelboylan5308]

In the first 6 seconds there ia a young girl background far right strapping on her guitar, In the next 16 seconds did she join the group on the far left side, I hope she did,,,I am sure she is very good, This is wonderful playing dancing laughing and occasional screeching, Great to see the old weird America is so much alive

[@theleastcreative]

Does anyone know where I can learn this song? I can't find tabs or sheet music or a how to video. Fiddle or Mandolin is what I'm looking for

[@willarity6927]

JC's Tune Finder, trillian.mit.edu/~jc/cgi/abc/tunefind. There's midi versions there and every variation ever committed to paper (and subsequently collected by MIT).

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

Thanks for the link. There is more variation in "Sally Ann" than most other tunes i have tried to learn. Great resource!

[@donhendershot9705]

You learn it by doing it!

[@BISKUPIA]

Well...as they say; "GEVALT" Mozel Tov

[@briarroot]

Tell the banjolele girl to try using a pick; she might get enough volume to compete. :-) great playing, all.

[@tomscribner5261]

Beautiful!, get stepping right there with you in my kitchen :-)

[@NCJOE54]
