Ode to Ozma

[@stephanieg6680]

Beautiful song, played with passion 🎵🎵🎵

[@mowu9731]

Such a nice song… may Ozma rest in peace 🐓 God has obtained a beautiful creature in heaven 💗💗 I wish you the best !!

[@Panicagq2]

People don't realize what sweet critters chickens are. Thank you for her lovely song - she's already missed.

[@rogermcadams8806]

Oh Pheobe! Once again just got home from work and so needed that! I'm a old dog learning new tricks ( banjo my latest is a 1897 Stewart wearing nylgut strings ). I can nail it sometimes then try and record myself and mess up but I swear I think this 'Ode to my favorite chicken ' is superb! You go girl! 😊

[@roymundy3688]

Wow! That was incredible. Xx

[@mhsandifer]

Condolences from our family and flock; Jan, Marsha, Cindy & Nugget

[@robertcourt8593]

Such wonderful music!

[@gwiyomikim5988]

I remember many years ago Steve Martin saying how hard it was to play a sad song on the happy sounding banjo. Well it might be hard, but it can be done. I see that today with the ode to your friend Ozma. It was beautiful.

[@piguy3point14]

Feels more like hope. 😊

[@hopefulnice]

​@@piguy3point14 yes, hopeful! I tend to feel a strange underlying optimism during phases of mourning, and this composition lends itself really well to that particular complexity. So beautiful...

[@ramakisoradasa5814]

Sorry for your loss, pets are family. RIP Ozma ❤🙏

[@khonsuthecore4788]

For a musician to grieve with music is as natural as the death they are grieving, and yet both song and death are tinged with sadness and determination, god be with ye beloved chicken.

[@MikePuorro]

This is the place true music comes from.

[@JamesOrcutt1]

I raised my hens from chicks too, a racoon got in the coop one night and got sunny, my buff orpington I loved that chicken like a dog. I never thought I would care so much for a chicken. Looks like yours had a great life full of music

[@l.williams6249]

Aww Ozma😢 I lost my rooster Jedediah and I feel your loss. You couldn’t have given her a better tribute🪕🎶❤

[@echotango3598]

Ozma 😥 This is a really beautiful sendoff

[@ArborealCattThing]

Finding real inspiration in real life. I commend you ye old young artist. You've got soul! Something people in general are lacking in I feel, nowadays.

[@stevenboyd593]

A touching eulogy and with the appearance of a good friend just seconds in who seemed to be checking to see if we were respectfully viewing and participating. Sorry for your loss, blessings and shalom

[@Illyrian5]

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! I just discovered you yesterday and loved seeing Ozma in your videos. She was lucky to have you.

[@andyperkins8620]

I’m sorry to hear this Phoebe!!! We will all be mourning her loss. She was entertaining to watch. ❤

[@lizwrites2463]

I’ve only started following your work in the past few weeks but it was immediately clear Ozma was a special chicken. I’m sorry to hear of her passing. This is a beautiful tribute. She will be remembered.

[@stephanieg6680]

Hi Phoebe, I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm close to my animals, too. I remember Ozma from a previous video. Your music is a beautiful tribute 💕

[@danshaffer5916]

You play with h wonderful emotion Phoebe. Hello Chicken.

[@jaredshaw8163]

That was so beautiful. What a lovely tribute to her. I am sorry for your loss.

[@glvarner]

Ozma came into your life when she was supposed to, when you needed her, and she left when her job was done, and you learned from her friendship. We will miss her antics. You are in our hearts.

[@MichaelBCoats]

Sweet Doc, I am so sorry. This was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful chicken friend! ♥♥♥♥♥

[@jomy10-games]

It’s hard losing an animal, this was a wonderful tribute to Ozma

[@saffral]

We'll miss you, Ozma.

[@dalewheat]

So sorry to hear about your loss. Thanks for letting us know and for the beautiful tribute.

[@ASennaFan]

Sorry for your loss. It breaks my wife’s heart when one of her chickens pass. This is a beautiful tribute to Ozma.

[@color-head1696]

So nice to see you "getting lost" in the music maybe thinking about Ozma, death, life in general then coming back at 5:58 looking into the cam realising you landed on earth again I really enjoy listening to your honest playing style and pure presentation sorry for your loss ... Im sure Ozma felt your playing and you made her happy!

[@evanwilcox82]

Great tribute to Ozma. She lives on through your music.

[@philipusher4282]

There is so much garbage and fake news on you tube so it's great when something like this pops up. Thanks for entertaining us and putting us in a good mood for the rest of the day. 🙏Oops, I meant with your playing, just read after I posted that this tune was in memory of a favorite chicken, sorry to hear.

[@robertthegreek]

Beautiful tribute. So sorry to hear about your loss. Blessings on your day.

[@MrCubannn]

one of the best channels on youtube tbh

[@johnfinn7455]

Perfect song picked and perfect song played. That song has its ups and downs. The ending of the song picks up your spirit and says it will be ok. Sorry for your loss. It’s obvious that you are a caring person and feathers or fur, you love them all. The orange chicken totally photo bombed your performance.

[@jaimemantilla5365]

Que belleza 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 mil gracias phoebe ❤❤❤

[@libbyb3006]

Ozma you will be missed I'm sorry for your loss Phoebe

[@daverow49]

My sincere condolences for your loss Phoebe. I looked after chickens when I was a kid and yes I became attached to one like you and Ozma. Lovely banjo piece. :)

[@zippymcfearson2776]

That was great.

[@AdamOwenBrowning]

somehow you made me resonate and empathize with a chicken(!) thousands of miles away, that I've never met. That's the power of heartfelt music The pure fire and energy you bring at the 3min mark made my eyes water. We have our time in the sun, and we leave an empty space behind when we go. There's a beauty in that - that empty space represents the value and importance even a "small" life can have. rest easy Ozma, in a coop in the sky.

[@talisetunes]

So sorry for your loss Phoebe ❤ Ozma is clucking along to your beautiful banjo tune from a better place

[@tripslaughter5101]

You are busting that song out 👍👍👍👍

[@patrickdaughtry3618]

Beautiful playing! Beautiful song to a friend! Pullin at this old mans heart strings! Goodness...

[@nealliske7700]

You are beautiful and connected to the divine grace on earth ❤

[@michaelhoernschemeyer6794]

I am so sorry. What a beautiful tribute! Some chickens can really steal your heart.

[@Josh_Fredman]

Ozma, oh no! 💔 She was just becoming a star around here. I'm sorry she's gone. This is a really touching tribute.

[@kittycat1302]

You have a lot of heart. I just started listening to you. I’m so sorry about Ozma. It hurts so much to lose a pet. I’ve lost my three kitties in the last 2 years and it’s heartbreaking. I love your playing. It’s comforting❣️♥️

[@patricksweeny4373]

Excellent! All chickens go to Heaven, so Ozma is listening to you!

[@srenhaandbk7904]

Such a heartfelt perfomance, she got a worthy salute - may she rest in peace.

[@mrmoose7844]

It breaks my heart to hear the news. I'm so very sorry. I'm an old chicken lover for 80 years. I used to set on the fence of the chicken yard and listen to them sing when I was a kid on the farm. 😢

[@MonsterMidi]

So sorry to hear about this. Thanks for taking care of her in the end. George F. GREENVILLE SC

[@_uncredited]

Now that's a song to keep on playin' for a long time yet. Fantastic tune. Salute, Ozma.

[@davidryan4127]

Beautiful , thanks for sharing in your grief and tribute to the little entities that are part of all our world . I feel your pain 😢

[@LighTfromAbuV]

I'm sorry to hear that! My daughter just lost one of her cats yesterday. The tune was amazing! Think I need to listen to this one just about every day! Such positive strong emotions that come through! Much love!

[@canadice1999]

That was really beautiful. I'm new to the channel so i didn't really get to know Ozma while she was with us, but this lovely tribute to her tells me what i need to know. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@robertlittlepage2273]

We're so sorry to hear about Ozma. Beautiful tune to remember her by. 😢

[@John-Smiley-Garrett]

Ozma seemed like a very sweet chicken, and I'm happy you have a means to help you express your grief.

[@KatherineMidgley]

So sorry for your loss, Phoebe. You certainly gave her a good life!

[@tsopuaifa]

I am sorry for your loss. I saw Ozmo in another video and she looked just great. Loved the chicken here at the beginning and she made me very happy.

[@BrokeTheInterweb]

I'm so sorry to hear, Phoebe. I fell in love with Ozma just a week ago and can't believe she's gone already. This was a lovely tribute.

[@peakdavid]

I loved seeing Ozma prance and dance in your videos. Thanks for this tribute.

[@georgem7965]

So sorry to hear about your loss. That is the curse of humans and animals, we love them but outlive them. Too many goodbyes. But I beleive that they will be waiting for us on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge (and probably asking what took us so long to get there and did we bring treats).

[@Dave-ty2qp]

That was simply beautiful Phoebe. Thank you for sharing that with us.

[@MrUnderhilll]

Godspeed, Ozma.

[@richardunicorn7879]

Wonderful tribute to Ozma. I feel your sorrow, Phoebe. It's hard to lose a pet. RIP Ozma❤🐔

[@drumzone5]

So sorry to hear about your loss Phoebe. It's never easy losing a part of your family.

[@markperrin1016]

Whooo ! Beautiful Song. A range of emotions in it . Thank you. I am going to play it again as soon as I share my thanks and a little story...(abridged ) My friends had a hen and I be came friends with it . I would help her forage for food in their backyard by picking up things so it could get underneath and just hang out together. One day they called me and said one of their cats was deathly ill and asked if would i come over and be with it. I spent the night with it comforting it and when the sun was rising the cat wanted to go outsidde, so i pickef it up and we went and sat outside. After a while I could see that the cat was in its last moments and was ready to vacate its shell. I held it in my lap and hands and suddenly there walked up my friend ,the hen, who had been wandering around ...she approached very close to us and examined the cat and when that cat expelled its last breath, well...If i could describe the "look" the hen gave as her gaze met mine ... And the sun's morning rays shining perfectly on us ...aachh..a joyful tear now falls just as it did in that moment. We shared a depth that goes beyond simple form ..the three of us... Thanks for the jam dear. The smile that came across your lovely face as the chicken crossed the camera here says it all.

[@chandrazink4830]

I'm so sorry😢

[@ericj.w.ruijssenaars3421]

There is a happy chicken dancing around in chicken-heaven on this tune! 🐔 😊

[@wsvrez]

Sorry for your loss... I'm sure she would be happy listening to this beautiful song... very soulful, stay strong Phoebe

[@BigCheeseRumble]

Oh no, no, no! I am so sorry, Phoebe. Ozma was a beautiful chicken. I pray that someday the pain you're feeling now will be replaced with happy memories.

[@mrgianstarr]

never thought that today i'd playing along to a sweet banjo song about the loss of a chicken. Beautiful, may Ozma reast in peace and your memorial shrub flourish with her spirit

[@robertjoyce5629]

What a shock. I'm so sorry for your loss Phoebe. Thank you for sharing her with us, and also for sharing this wonderful piece of music that comes right out of your heart. While I was listening to it, I didn't realize that Ozma had died, but it was one of the most wonderful musical experiences in recent memory. Thank you again.

[@thecrittercuzzins7471]

Sorry youngin, good tribute to Ozma, God bless you today,

[@Magpie7070]

I know it sounds cliche, but dying is a part of living, and we all have to do it. I realize this doesn't lessen the sadness, but here we are. Your farewell to Ozma is fitting and sweet. You strike me as a warm and caring person, and that's better than gold.

[@danloeber]

😢 Yesterday, I found you and Ozma in a F.F. Video and subscribed. Today I learned Ozma has passed. I’m sorry for your loss. Chicken people and banjo people, that’s some good people.

[@zerofeeney6408]

Sorry about Omza. Thinking of you.

[@frankenjstein9371]

Oh man. All of Gods creatures are precious and unique. Love is all. With us always.

[@vroomoon]

I feel your loss. When I was younger we lost our beloved chickens Suki and Chicken (literally her name) under very similar circumstances. I was devastated when we lost them because they were literally like our dogs. This is a wonderful tribute. ❤

[@kissthefiddler]

Love the tune! It sounds like Ozma was a character. She will live on in your heart and in your tunes.

[@Harrydewulf]

I'm sad. I get very attached to critters, and Ozma had a lot of character. I think we'll all miss her too. Thanks for playing this song for her (and us). Still the best name for a chicken. I hope one day you'll have another worthy of the name.

[@toysfromspace]

We have chickens, too. It's hard to lose a friend. Beautiful tribute to her.

[@authortimwickenden]

A fitting and eggcellent tribute to a noble creature. Sorry for your loss. 😢

[@gheffz]

So sorry to hear, Phoebe. Very sad. If it helps in anyway, I cried my eyes out on and off for few days when our gorgeous cat died and our dog a few years earlier. I have even shed a tear now thinking about it.

[@juleswins3]

Very sorry to learn of Ozma’s passing. She truly was a beautiful example of her breed.😢

[@stevesanders7217]

So sorry you lost Ozma. I’ll say a prayer for healing your grief. Just recently found your channel and I’m really enjoying it. This is a beautiful piece - quite different from other pieces I’ve heard here. ‘Cause you wrote it, of course. Beautiful job you did with it. Seems it takes us on a journey - a journey that contains so many experiences. Also reminds me of when I used to play an Appalachian dulcimer a bit as a teenager; mostly Appalachian folk tunes. That was a looong time ago… Oh… we share our last name! Wonder if we’re distantly related. My kinfolk come from Texas, but I think some were in Tennessee way back.

[@tylerjgifford]

Losing an animal is a hard thing to go through, even though we know it's coming. Sorry to hear that Phoebe. Just know that Ozma lived a better life than your average chicken could ever dream of thanks to you. Pretty tune, and my condolences. 🙏

[@musicalmiscellany]

Beautiful tribute to a fallen friend. I loved the part when you see the chicken near the camera and smile.

[@dewnose]

rest in peace

[@ButterSpider3]

I’m digging your play style!! Your clawhammer sound is amazing! Please keep recording more. 😁👍🏻. I am very sorry for your loss. I am new to your channel. I think I will need to go back and find her.

[@irishpsalteri]

Rare the bird mourned as well as Ozma was. Our animals take a bit of us when they go, it is hard, our sympathy to you.

[@monkeyshake3508]

Nice tribute. It is our lot in life to typically outlive our animal friends. Thank goodness for music.

[@jimmorrison-ye2yj]

It's so fun to watch 2 or 3 hens go around the yard scratching and talking to each other! I understand your loss.

[@graybeard73]

Bless you 😢

[@kek6342]

¡Lo Siento!🙏💜🙏

[@gerryherman7420]

Phoebe, so sorry for Ozma's passing. What a great tribute!

[@Clfike]

Aw, I’m so sorry! I love chickens and can’t have any where I live in the city! I still remember One Eye, a pet chicken I had many many years ago when I was just a little girl. 😢

[@mrmoose7844]

Ozma was a beautiful girl!

[@piguy3point14]

Im so sorry. Thanks for sharing her with us. I think I'll smile and say "Hi!" to every chicken I meet from here on out.

[@chrisproffitt6198]

that was beautiful

[@cullendonahue8054]

Oh, dear; I’m so sorry! 😢😭😭😭some folks say when we lose an animal it is going & taking something bad with them that would have gotten us if they hadn’t gone.. It may be small consolation at this time, yet I hope that helps in your time of grief. I lost my dove Sonya this past year also. Still cry sometimes 😢 thank you for your songs & spirit; they have brightened my darker times. Much. Peaceful & Comforted National Banjo Day, sister from another mister. Peace to y’all

[@bisexualantigone]

Oh noo Ozma.. :( I just saw her in a video. Rest in peace sweet feathered lady. Hope you get to sunbathe plenty in Heaven.
