The bass is trembling with resonance and power, I love it!

[@eleshiacatherine]

Gourd-geous. Love the slow pace. Magnificent banjo too.

[@jeetray11]

God-geous could work too. Clever wording!

[@BoarhideGaming]

Wow. I’ve never heard such a warm, homely sound from an instrument before. Excellently played too, I might add.

[@micmacc2014]

My baby girl love this piece. It mellows her out.

[@fredmarshe7470]

One of the finest sounds I've heard on a banjo andI've played quite a few.

[@AWGG42]

Words are inadequate to describe how good this is!

[@tomblincoe]

Exceptional

[@uptonsavoie]

The tune is a cousin to Red River Valley. Well done!

[@friendlybanjoatheist5464]

I like your B part a lot. Most folks play it crooked, which is also cool. Sweet slow groove. Thanks for posting it.

[@brt5273]

Great tune❤

[@ryandaamen]

This is beautiful & warm. New banjo player in MD here!

[@malbride6522]

G Beautiful rendition from a fine player. Shows how good simple uncluttered music can be.

[@petrovichluzhin]

love the booming sound you get out of the low notes here. Is this the large flat 10-12inch version?

[@andyman1532]

Listening on our way to a gig in Orono-perfect music. 🌲

[@Nevada_Dan]

If you listen carefully between beats you can hear my jaw hitting the floor. MUCH respect from someone who thought he knew how to play banjo.

[@andyman1532]

[@drewby613]

What is the tuning? This is really sublime and I’m so glad of the moderate tempo! And what a cello-like sound. Wooo-hooo!😅❤

[@bradkolodnermusic]

Banjo tuning is dGDGA. Thanks!

[@drewby613]

[@riddle8503]

I would by a recording of this if it were out there. You should think about it.

[@thearnimal]

That was awesome!

[@davidtaylor7875]

Marvellous

[@stevemarsden9386]

I'd have probably shaved that gourd down some to get a bigger head out of it, but it sounds glorious.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

The fretless gourd banjo is really just an Americanized version of the West African akonting.

[@erickericksen7085]

Outstanding Tone & execution, what kind of strings are preferred??? Nylon or Steel ?

[@bradkolodnermusic]

Nylon! The fourth string is wound.

[@bgcomposer]

Brad, what is your tuning? I know low string is a G, 5th is D, 1st is D?, 2nd is A?, 3rd is D? All down an ocatve. Nice rich sound.

[@eleshiacatherine]

5th D, 4th G, 3rd D, 2nd G, 1st A - Standard double C tuning but tuned down to double G

[@bgcomposer]

@@eleshiacatherine Thanks. I play a lot of double C now. One of my favorites is Brad's Julianne Johnson.

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

Reminds one of Seth lakeman

[@margaretradek971]

..oh, where did you get the gourd banjo?
