Annie Staninec - Banjo Pickin' Girl

[@tommyfuller103z]

Her Children are absolutely Adorable! She is truly Appalachian as well as a Great banjo player! So wonderful to see this!

[@Staninec]

Thank you Tommy. They are her half siblings and they now pick too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHTdgJqjZZqpr7s

[@patrickhiatt5953]

Such a great clawhammer rendition!

[@Pteromandias]

My 2 year old loves this video. She sees the kids and says “toddus!” (toddlers!). She loves seeing the kids getting into the music, and even dances along and slaps her legs along with them.

[@xapie128]

That has got to be one of the CUTEST videos I've ever seen (the banjo playing was good too).

[@francesmckillip691]

HELL YEAH THIS IS WHAT MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT THANKS ANNIE THIS MADE MY DAY YOUR KIDS ARE REAL CUTE YOUR SMOKE'N HOT HAVE A GREAT VOICE A REAL GIFT ANNIE YOUR KIDS AND YOUR TALENT WISH I HAD ME A BANJO PICK'N GIRL! KEEP PICK'N & GRINN'N HAVE'N A PLUCK'N GOOD TIME SEE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[@Landser64]

I AM IMPRESSED. THIS WOMAN IS BLESSED.

[@tomlamiam]

still very cool in 2022. thank you.

[@theslippertm5510]

Wish Annie was my neighbor; how cool to hear her play outside your window...

[@mypugsdad5366]

this is what makes this country Great. Asian woman playing country pickin music. We are all different but music is the great music that brings us together. Also she is good.

[@Staninec]

mypugsdad Actually, she is half Japanese. The other half is Czech and Ukrainian. Yeah, the melting pot!

[@Deregise]

mypugsdad Thats the good part of immigration, her family immigrated there, lived peacefully, didnt try to in-stow their culture on other people and she adopted her own, its a great thing...unfortunately theres evil sides of immigration too, mass immigration and the immigrates they put over here try to force their cultural on other people where it does not belong, anyways great video and great player

[@Deregise]

Staninec sounds like someone from Kyrgyzstan haha

[@mbsnyderc]

mypugsdad I'd say she's 100% American.

[@detroitbob58]

+mypugsdad Check out her right hand. She plays without finger picks! That's really hard to do on a banjo. She needs to get into a recording studio!

[@TalmadgeMonroe]

I am from the mountains of NC but no matter where you are from this is Pure LUV....

[@marionrobertson3895]

Talmadge I agree 100% on love this lady is great.

kids nearly stole the show...they were just warming up, great song thanks AS

We stole the show 🤣😆 (I’m the girl)

@@kaayducks I stand corrected Fang but you must have known that :) greetings from Melbourne Australia.

[@kaayducks]

@@andrewclough660 Cool! :)

[@wawawawu]

THIS is what music is all about... spend time with loved ones and have fun together. You shine not only with a good clawhammering but with a slight and breezy style and your voice is a perfect 10 to the meaning of this kind of music. You not only make the kiddies day a brighter one... I stumbled accidentally to here and you made my heart warmer and me smiling. What a perfect match... Just to repetite it... This is what music is all about, and what can be seen in this video: Be at yourself. Even if your technique is great, and the voice fits perfect, its not the goal. And if someone says, it's ofc not the hardest song, not the toughest deal in this kind of music and others do it better - just turn your ears to the other side...You are a complete package and that is much more. You make your kids smile and thats more worth than a million bucks. Even way more known musicians dream of beeing free in chosing the way of living music. Seems you are miles ahead... And to not forget it - your kids learn with their ears, eyes and hearts that music ist best handmade...

[@russcorbett3923]

She's Awesome , the song is Great ,,, but the two kids truly made the video precious :)

[@Hrcak1]

She is very good, best from Croatia.

[@zymelin21]

I just love clawhammer-banjo, and Annie is doing it good. love the rhythm section also

[@williamsonnett8970]

It is so great to hear someone playing Claw Hammer style banjo for a change and that is about as good as it gets. Have listened to this video many times and only wish she had more banjo videos on KZbin.

[@marionrobertson3895]

Annie young lady you are great on banjo and your voice is very pretty just like you are and the kids are just precious.I enjoyed the video very much.Thanks all be blessed.

[@grantsmith505]

She's a great fiddler too.

[@dolcedolente]

God, Ms. Annie! You have some monster right hand technique and precision going on! Beautiful voice, too.

[@cot65]

This made me cry. Beautiful

[@clawhammer704]

Great clawhammer playing with a great voice to go with it.

[@nameerbaker8158]

When I want a pick-me-up, I come here. This tune and those kids get me where I need to go, every time.

[@waynemanning3385]

beautifull girl, beautifull kids, beautifull music. love banjo music. oh and beautifull voice

[@nimblefingersmusic3127]

Sounds great! I love your back up band.

[@michaelkelly6667]

You should see this lady play the fiddle!!She is amazing!I saw her in a concert once playing her fiddle and she is simply amazing!

[@willybong1603]

I fudging love America! This is awesome! This type of music is our history.Thank God there are people this keeping it strong! Bravo!

[@tumalo710]

Anne saw you play with Molly Tuttle at the sisters folk fest. So glad to have found you on You Tube. Your incredible.

[@williamsnyder623]

Annie, that was the best banjo picking I 'll heard for a long time, keep it up girl you are great.

[@banjobones8075]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!.

[@norternredneck]

I've never heard her before, VERY NICE!

[@AngieChurch]

What an inspiration you are Annie !!! You are an outstanding musician... all American too.

[@rogeralsop3479]

Marvellous Annie.

[@GiovanniEpifano]

Thanks for keeping the tradition of old timey music alive. 5 smiles. :) :) :) :) :)

[@forseti24]

If this crisis is good for one thing it's discovering great music. I envy you Americans so much. Best regards from southern Bavaria, Germany.

[@svenderikjrgensen5335]

Hi Annie. Saw a lot of your melodies on tube during years. This one always warms my heart

[@laughingabovethe49thparall3]

This! is where children learn music. By the time they get to grade school they just don't understand the results of the tasks they're given or care enough. And because there's a lot of the little chicks in the classroom the respect...properly playing for joy just isn't shown in the classroom. It's just a completion of task, for the children, but for the few already, musically inclined. Those few often one or if your lucky three a class... discover Magic in a classroom. Every child should have a musical language for when even for the greatest wordsmiths sometimes, find no meaningful words despite our vast collection . "Nothing words can say, Then start strummin and you'll be fine." Words to live by. Thank you for showing why the effort is worth it. Your children will thank you for it one day.

[@robertwilke7692]

So great! Abigail Washburn's got nothing on you, Ms. Staninec!

[@paulbarber8642]

Hi Annie, saw you at Stephenson, WA bluegrass festival. You stole the show!! Hot digitiy!!

[@jeswanderyn]

Cuteness to the MAX!!

[@Peter160244]

The 2 children provide a marvellous percussion accompaniment - lots of enthusiasm too!

[@StudebakerHawk57]

I've played 5-string banjo for 43 years -- primarily 3-finger bluegrass style -- but when I do play clawhammer-style (frailing) I STILL find it impossible to drop-thumb as Annie so effortlessly does. My hat's off to you, Annie, you make it all look so smooth and easy... and you sound fantastic, too!

[@Staninec]

Check out the new clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHTdgJqjZZqpr7s

[@edbrackin]

Just awesome. Playing fantastic music with the kids. Wish there were more people like this in America.

[@Christopher-xn6rb]

That long, flowing hair.... Oh yeah, beautiful banjo playing too.

[@wombatcarebundanoon942]

Back again....Still loving this one. Makes me smile. Great job by all!

[@darienu8409]

If this was on an album I’d listen to it all day long!

[@Asdfbedffhdsxe345]

This is just the sweetest video. Lovely music, lovely family.

[@Maeve2000]

This is so lovely!! Seeing the joy you brought them with your banjo made me emotional. What a wonderful big sister!

[@franzkohler8337]

I like her clawhammer banjo and I like her singing and I like her two lovely siblings.

[@dennisgalloway9894]

Those children are beyond adorable.

[@lesterbowman9558]

Annie..I absolutely love this video. Finding you recently I've discovered a young person who is carrying our wonderful musical heritage into the future. You are so talented and so joyful and exude such happiness I ALWAYS feel a healing listening to you sing and play. The world is such an awful place these days.When I listen to you and see you smile and work so hard to create such astonishing music, my heat is refreshed with hope and my smile returns. Thank you always for sharing your talent and gifts with our world. You may not know it but you make our " day to day" a better and happier place :) God Bless always.

Just discovered this channel. I have 3 favorite violinists in the whole world: Stuart Duncan, John K. Mailender and Annie Stanenick. In terms of listening pleasure I deem them as equals. That is saying quite allot.
