Ashokan Farewell

Jay Ungar's timeless melody "Ashokan Farewell" was the best tune that I could think of to send off this year. I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for watching and supporting me and the channel throughout 2020. I really don't know where I'd be right now without this outlet for my creative energy and music and those who utilize it.
All the best, keep rolling & see you next year.

Russ, your channel has been an endless fount of happy energy and excellent tunes in an otherwise really challenging year. You're appreciated more than you know!

[@veritable.quandary]

Also, this is one of the first fiddle tunes I ever learned, and it still makes me tear up 20+ years later.

[@Chikinbokbok]

I see 81 crowe, I click.

[@ronaldclark1178]

Thanks Russ for your videos, especially the ones with your dad. I will be 71 years old in Feb. and I still miss being able to play with my Dad. Like I have said before, treasure each and every tune, because one day all you will have are the videos and memories. Happy New Year to you and your family. Hope 2021 is good to you!!

[@LoneRevD]

Beautiful Russ, thank you. God bless!

[@LukeLBluegrass]

Great job! Sounds beautiful.

[@sufenta67]

Absolutely magnificent.

[@zchrygrn1988]

Outstanding!!! Feels like an arrangement that J.D. Crowe would’ve have been able to put together 40 years ago had he been fortunate enough to have a J.D. Crowe of his very own to follow, learn from & build upon. Therein, DYNAMICS! The main BBC ingredient harnessing beauty & grace on a 5-string

[@sambsialia]

Maybe Ken Burns will immortalize your playing on a new documentary.👍👍👍

[@Appocalachia2020]

Very nice. Thanks.

[@sidneyshusterman6076]

When I heard your version I felt a singular loneliness come out that I hadn't heard or felt before. Maybe it is the because it is 2020 , maybe it is your individual interpretation. In either case it is leaving me speechless. I hope our New Year is a sight better than this year and I look forward to your pickin' more amd more. We have endured!

[@freewill1114]

I love your music, and I watch and listen to everything you play. That tune is a challenge to play, and I can see how hard you are working to get it right. Beautiful!

[@GunnarSalyer]

That was beautiful!!

[@jayjuliecooper8882]

Beautiful sir. I love it!

[@michaelmullins1290]

Such a beautiful version of a all time favorite of mine. Love the ending. Gods blessings on you and yours Russ.

[@mikefincher6185]

A perfect tribute

[@danawalker55]

Thanks, Russ! I love the way you played this tune. On 1-1-2021 hindsight will be 2020!😆

[@NiallMor]

I usually think of this as a fiddle tune, but you played it beautifully on the banjo. I don't think anyone will be sorry to bid farewell to 2020, but I'm glad that you will not be bidding us farewell. Please stay safe and well and keep rollin' into 2021, Russ.

[@btpearce]

Awesome job , Happy New Year , Tell Bethany I said Hi .

[@jeffjones3202]

Very nice & appreciated..👍

[@mac8697]

Thank /you/ for introducing me to so many beautiful, fun tunes. I have listened to your & your dad's version of "Rock the cradle Joe" an embarrassing amount of times.

[@RudysRhythmandRevue]

Masterful!

[@longdustydryroad]

Always wonderful music

[@josephcaloger366]

Thank you, this made me want to practice. And that's good.

[@roscopecotrain9001]

[@senorboardhead]

Oh yes !

[@obeliskthes1046]

Beautiful job russ👍

[@Wootangtw]

Awesome buddy

[@Jdluke61]

❤💯

[@rodneyyarbrough6524]

Hey Russ... how is your banjo tuned for that song. Sounds like a D tuning.

[@GailBreaknews]

Russ, Hello long time fan. I love your videos and your picking is absolutely gorgeous.ha. Would you mind letting us know what pics you prefer? Thank you I understand if you don't see this or if your too busy,... Thank you.

[@johnspizziri1919]

Have a tab for this?

[@luke-tr6ic]

Can you start making banjo tutorials because it is very hard for me to find any lessons on songs like flint hill special train 45 etc

[@rodrigosiqueirarodrigues8549]

Muito lindo esses tema. Teria a tablatura 81 Crowe? Estou aprendendo esses lindo instrumento que é o banjo. Curto demais teus vídeos. Sou do Brasil. Abraços.

[@nathanbeaumont9953]

Can I ask a completely unrelated question? How do you change the head on your extended neck prucha? It's been bothering me for so long.

[@81crowe]

Sure thing Nathan! Just like any banjo with an extended board, you need to remove the neck to change the head.

[@bwilson_us]

See ya in the new year! See if you can get Steve Martin to do a session with you next year!

[@rkissel5165]

Where can I find the tap music for this?

[@isaactaylor7553]

Does that fingerboard have a slight radius, or am I just losing it?

[@81crowe]

You’re not loosing it at all, there is indeed a slight radius on this banjo.

[@joannechurchill3562]

Tab for this please?
