Flowery Girls - Nora Brown

[@tomsmart1970]

I used to worry that old-time music would die out once the 70s revival ran its course. How wrong I was, and how glad that I was wrong.

[@Nevada_Dan]

This song captivated me many decades ago when I first it on an old Hot Mud Family album...! And you know what? It still does.

[@laurasundquist8662]

so unpretentious....need more of this.....thank you Nora.

[@PatJamesRicketts]

This young woman is an amazing addition to the art and beauty of the world, especially folk music. Thank you Nora.

[@rstone76]

I heard you for the first time on tiny desk this year and have been amazed and inspired ever since. Thank you for putting yourself out there! Much love

[@Hanad-tr3fb]

Same here!

[@keithharner1230]

Musical flowers grow from this young lady's heart

[@gittaradau8790]

I can't stop listening to you Nora Brown. I love your tunes and style. I have you on Spotify in the car also, and today I went to the market and met a friend, and she said, "have you ever listened to Nora Brown?" We are in Australia. I am 64 and was just gifted my first ever instrument, a banjo. You are such an inspiration. Thank you.

[@GWGuitarStudio]

What a gentle, pretty tone!

[@machinistmikethetinkerer4827]

I dunno man...something about this kid and her talent. Got the prettiest melody...others are talented, sure. This kid is special. You got a gift, kid. Thank you.

[@yasdnilknarf1885]

Literally chills down my spine

[@leorivers7759]

I hear little bells ringing as little children run down a cobblestone path to a stream.

[@lquinn7212]

Wonderful!😄

[@radioheadfan6965]

man i need to learn the banjo rn

[@eelnai2503]

indeed you do. it's a lot of fun. speaking of which, radioheadfan69, have you heard the punch brothers cover of kid a? the key part randomly sounds so fucking cool on banjo and noam does it so well.

[@jass5g]

Wow never thought I get amazed by banjo music, this has soul in it!

[@suzannedarety4058]

Great job! I am good friends with 3 of Omer Forster’s granddaughters! Always check out KZbin and see who’s playing ‘Flowery Girls.’ It’s a lovely tune!

[@tomlamiam]

Go Nora!

[@PHJimY]

Thanks for that lovely 2 finger tune Nora. Loved it!

[@user-wv4xc1us6u]

I lose my eyes and get whisked away to another place and time

[@garymelnyk7910]

Poetic, like Nora’s playing.

[@GTHarmonica]

Just awesome 👏

[@brianj2033]

Beautiful!

[@JeffLarkin]

I feel like she took Omer's tune and refined it to perfection. She honestly plays it cleaner than the recording I've heard of Omer playing it.

[@georgephyllis6954]

beautiful music - love the sweater, too!

[@lucymarch202]

It was a wonderful February for snow here in NYC. The beauty of this tune is a perfect match for it.

[@TomCollinsBanjo]

Remarkable playing. Heartfelt dynamics. I’ve never heard a better interpretation of this tune. Simply gorgeous music

[@geoffconner6783]

Really nice work

[@CastleHassall]

Really nice interspersed with the snow on the trees and the view outside.. You are an old trailblazer soul for sure. Best wishes to you and your family from Rolland in Scotland

[@timothylocklear9885]

I’ve never heard the banjo played so delicately! Thank you

[@nofxkidssss]

Amazing. You reminded me that I always wanted to play banjo. Gonna move to the country and learn. Thank you. Long live theses songs and thanks for doing the work to see and understand.

[@TheWildhound]

I really love your style how to play the banjo, straight from the heart.

[@RobHutten]

Can't wait for your next album, Nora. And thank your folks from us fans of oldtime banjo music for enabling your interest and putting you at the feet of the old masters.

[@harrypotter506]

Such an amazing artist.

[@andrewdressler6173]

Possible legend in the making!! Stay inspired!

[@lonesomeacestringband]

love this tune...great playing Nora!

[@logofthelex2668]

Great way to start my day. Thanks.

[@patrickfoster4586]

Wonderful performance, as usual, but the increased quality of the video production didn't go unnoticed! Keep doing what you're doing Nora! Cheers from Louisiana P[>

[@thomasalden3524]

Cannot thank you enough for what you do, by far the best part of the pandemic for me.

[@14231543]

Beautiful picking

[@thevoyager3903]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@muttandjeff5213]

Outstanding Miss Brown! Excellent videography too!

[@TheOldNorth]

Gorgeous tune, sounds beautiful! Really enjoyed this, nice work!

[@Womble1252]

Love your work, cheers from Aus..

[@garyhillard9308]

You are totally my banjo inspiration. Thank you.

[@johnschneider4160]

Thank you, Nora! Sounds more like a Spring morning than a frosty one!

[@bendummitt888]

I found you on Radio Heartland. Love your style and tone.

[@jeremyreagan9085]

Clifton Hicks mentioned your fine work and I am glad to hear your skill.

[@markynsaibasandarsondiengd2298]

Wow, you're beautiful and talented! You're so blessed! ❤❤

[@Barry101er]

Recored on my 60th ;)

[@lorenzotanzariello2386]

Che spettacolo.....brava.....suoni e musica d'incanto!

[@eismccc]

You are friggin awesome 👌 I love it

[@jefffisher4449]

Love your vids, the setting, the tune, the black and white shots. Thanks

[@josephcaloger366]

New fan, just discovering your music. Thanks @rstone76 for the Tiny Desk heads up. Nice shot of the Franklin shuttle. They finally got new cars.

[@harwilli55]

Love this tune...you make it such a contemplative melodic stream ... thank you

[@ericleedy1777]

Perfect as is, but also would love to hear Stephin Merritt singing along to this.

[@mongoosethe]

Nice!

[@Steelropetom]

this humans make Amarica great again! Best wishes from alpine Austria :)

[@Kan-o-tex]

That tune goes really well with the snow outside. I really appreciate your picking.

[@iancunningham8305]

Hooray!!! Great music!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@tonywampler217]

Very good

[@Matersoup]

brilliant and delightful

[@nicolasrodriguezgomez4272]

sounds great! love it

[@garyduby2145]

Good job, thanks for sharing.

[@andrewash9318]

Does anyone else hear a resemblance in tone, intonation, dynamics, phrasing and overall ethereal grace to John Renbourn in his post-Pentangle period? This is just so moving.

[@Kan-o-tex]

It's not hard to imagine Mr. Renbourn appreciating Miss Brown's music, if he were still here with us. Didn't he play a little banjo? I'm thinking of that After the Dance record he recorded with Bert Jansch.

[@lukaovsec]

maazing!!! thank you for always making a good day even better!!!

[@RobertGrayMusic]

Wow, just seen that you only pick with the thumb and one finger. Impressive! I like the nice soft tone that you get by playing with bare fingers - you avoid that harsh sound that I usually associate with banjos.

[@stevesadownpicker1519]

Absolutely superb as usual Nora, been following your work for years now, wish I'd started playing at your age! I'm nearly 58 so I've a lot of catching up to do! Keep up the good work, best wishes from Southampton UK

[@Wahatoyas]

10/10, great 2 finger picking

[@hugoataulfo7499]

Mi vacío tiene forma No lo llena cualquier cosa Secretamente se juntan En las cavernas del alma Ralentizando la calma O enardeciendo la pena

[@kpdelaney6460]

what model of banjo is that? I have a 5 string but that one looks way cooler than mine lol

[@ajeje1996]

What banjo is that? It has a lovely headstock

[@aburipley9045]

How old were you when you started learning the banjo?

[@marcsirkin8398]

Does anyone know if she’s playing thumb-lead or index finger-lead?

[@gordtemple764]

👍

[@fredkinch]

Who made that banjo?

[@norabrown7010]

[@coreybrand2777]

I listen to this young woman play, and then I look at my banjo and ask it why it hates me so.

[@swamp-yankee]

maybe she's spent a few more hours with hers.

[@hugoataulfo7499]

En verde lógicamente Se abren los campos al mundo Pues recogen el azul Con amarillo del cielo

I am in love with you! 🥰🥰
