Ducks on the millpond - clawhammer banjo tune

Ducks on the millpond! Very fun tune, I had been playing around with it all day so I had a bunch of variations and things to try out. Not as clean as I'd like it to be, but it was good fun. I had a formal dance coming up when I filmed this, so I figured I'd give my dress a test drive to get acclimated to it. This dress was my mom's prom dress from highschool, and it fit me perfectly with no alterations, which is pretty cool. Also, shoutout to my intrepid cameraman for helping me find the most ideal lighting.
Banjo is in D tuning.

The world needs more girls in dresses playing the banjo outside.

Such superb and vivacious play. That gown is gorgeous. Wearing it, you look like an Irish princess. And you placed yourself perfectly so the sun could bless you. Have fun at your dance!

[@user-qt1gs9pk8m]

Great tunes! Its still early spring here in Southern Finland, where I live, and most of my time is spent preparing for uni entrance exam. I'm dreaming of the coming summer when I'll have time to learn banjo myself and play music with friends. Until then, listening to other people play brings a lot of joy!

[@craniifer]

The dress and banjo make you look like some sort of bard. Super rad.

[@paulrogers6274]

Very nice!!!! Always like listening to you play. Makes me smile. Cool dress

[@gittaradau8790]

Love each and every one of your banjo videos Phoebe.. and this dress is divine. How lovely that your mother kept it. She will be so chuffed that you are wearing it.

[@johnglover4453]

Already it was probably true, but, now, after this wonderful lil video, it's solidified in stone; in the dictionary, beside the word "Joy", the definition is & forevermore will be: "A Banjo playing in a major key" ;) (The dress, too, by the way, is almost as pretty as the player 😇) Many thanks for all the joy xo

D is my favorite banjo tuning for dance tunes. Prom dress is not my favorite banjo attire, but I’d be willing to try it. Excellent rendition of Ducks On The Millpond! Are You taking Your banjo to the prom? ❤

Wow, I don't think I've ever been the first commentator on any thing before. Fun and bright tune. Love the dress. Redheads always look good in green.

[@crazylegoman]

The beam of sunshine on your face looks neat, but it seems like it would have made it harder to see while playing. You should've worn sunglasses... green ones, of course.

[@kerrykrishna]

Phoebe, the playing was terrific. You need to get the actual mic within a foot or so of your axe. It sounded like you were 40 feet from the microphone and is pretty difficult to hear.. Outside is always tricky too. You may need a rabbit screen sock for the mic. What was name of the tune?

[@davidbishop7181]

Very nice, and great dress! Did you wear a hat to the dance?😁

[@phoebesanders2487]

I wish! Couldn't find a matching one in time.

@@whimsical.william there's a scandalous amount of +40 yo men complimenting her in every way beyond her musical content, and seeing she is underage and her channel is kinda niche there is reasonable ground to say it's grooming behaviour; inappropiate to say the least.
