[@michaelallen434]

Neat hat! We got banjos, chickens and phoebe. It’s a good day 🙂

[@SpikeMoore]

'tis a fine hat!

[@jamesalles139]

Happy New Year 🥳

[@unnamedchannel1237]

I don’t know a lot about music , been thinking about a banjo. I like the sound this one makes

[@danoconnell1833]

My new favorite version of Auld Lang Syne. :)

[@cherrycordial4180]

Love the hat...now I want to make one. Excellent playing, and good morning chickens!

[@MattnUska]

I love your gourde arch idea. I grew up in Missouri and they would grow wild in the fields if there weren't any cows in them. I'm guessing they are pretty easy to grow.

[@SHRBJHD]

Indeed the coolest dang youtuber ever!

[@kellyblack4897]

Such a talented young lady

[@jazzayr1]

Happy new year from Scotland,I live a couple o miles fae auld Rabbie burns wee cottage.well done 😊

[@dividedwords]

Very nice, the hat! It has a kind of Mongolian thing.

[@jimcrews8951]

That is quite a new hat. ❤

[@oldfarmshow]

👍

[@williamSmith-fv5hi]

I am privileged to be the first comment, yea. 🙂 I had a birthday on the 29th of December and have now begun my 8th decade. Praise be unto God for His manifest blessings. You and your channel bring smiles to my face. 😍🥰😇

[@eah8101]

All the best to you sir

[@MattnUska]

Happy Birthday!

[@nebraskamike607]

Happy Birthday!

[@peterbrockettjr6163]

You are on the right track with dangling the gourds as they grow, they will come out straight and round, great for making instruments. When grown on the ground they will be misshaped and be prone to premature rot.

[@weswolfe9173]

Happy new year !

[@WombatSlug]

I hope you enjoy learning dulcimer! It’s my primary instrument these days, although banjo will always have a special place in my heart since it led me back to music. I’m enjoying your musical journey.

[@happydog4929]

Love it!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

That was a great version and I believe it was the first time I've heard it played clawhammer style. I like the Idea of the arched trellise for your gourds. Have a great weekend and 2025 Phoebe!

[@daveduncan8004]

Phoebe that’s great picking I enjoy your KZbin channel. I can’t hardly wait till the next Friday. Let me say this about your gourds. It takes six months to a year for a Gord to dry out to where you can make something out of it depending on what kind of cord it is so it’s I process that takes a little time. You can’t just grow and cut them off the bin and be ready to carve or make anything out of they must dry out.

[@MM-km1vl]

Came for the funky hat, stayed for your charisma! You seem like such an awesome person! I am happy to have found your channel :) Also your playing is awesome!

[@yeoldfart8762]

Now that is only slightly chilly. We played for a contra dance this evening. It was -32F when we carried the sound system to load into my car after the dance. happily it was warmer at my house. -10F. Your tune left me fretless so I thank you. Goodnight.

[@osliverpool]

Love the idea of growing your own banjo.

[@roymundy3688]

Sounded fantastic 👏 👌 Happy New Year 🎉

[@martinStevens-ni7wx]

Yes. As a gardener, you can make compost ,which is nutritional soil , using your chicken poop and straw and other garden clippings in layers. Look it up for more detail. You might like to make a nice compost box. When it's rotted down and the worms get in it, it makes a great medium for growing plants. And love the plants. They know. It helps. Mx London UK

[@martinStevens-ni7wx]

You can use discarded vegetable waste from the kitchen too. Put in four 2x2 posts in the ground then use four by one planks around to make a cube with big air gaps. Put in layers of organic waste and grass clippings and so on and let the worms climb in to digest it. After about a year you have a great growing medium. M

[@martinStevens-ni7wx]

Should be a yard square cube or there abouts

[@martinStevens-ni7wx]

It's a Phoebe and Dad kind of project. Heheh. M

[@gamedrone]

Happy New Year Phoebe.

[@AllenGarvin]

In Dallas we've been doing this early music new year's since the early 90s, and we sing an auld lang syne at midnight with the same tune, but different words, discovered from an old early 20th century shape-note hymnal. It's DELIGHTFUL! "Hark from the Tomb, a doleful sound, mine ears attend the cry: Ye living men, come view the ground where you must shortly lie!"

[@LuisGonzalez-ye6ty]

Feliz año nuevo Phoebe 👍👍🎶🎶🌹🌹🎶🎶👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@andywhos]

happy new year Pheobe, good song sounds great when you play it on the banjo!

[@Josh_Fredman]

Great rendition of Auld Lang Syne!! Love the variety of playing the song in different styles and weaving it all together. Those chickens are the best! Sweet hat, too.

[@drumzone5]

Hat is awesome! Gardening is awesome! YOU are awesome!!!

[@MatthewHaney-t6q]

WOW!!! Fretless Friday already! Dang! Five minutes ago it was Christmas day!😆

[@richardofsylmar]

I thought you played that quite nicely. Thank you for the fretless Friday.

[@asnormal1362]

Wishing you the best in 2025! Thanks for all the great songs on your banjos 💖🎶

[@juleswins3]

Happy New Year! Glad yours has started well!😁

[@piguy3point14]

Happy New Year, Phoebe!

[@Darrell_Wilson]

I enjoyed the video ! Happy New Year, Phoebe !

[@frankjuuh]

Happy New Year, Phoebe! Love to hear the chickens cooing. Good luck with all your new instrument adventures this year.

[@eah8101]

That was nice

[@stevenwarner7348]

Thank you so much for this. 〰✨🌿🙏🌿✨〰. New Hampshire

[@mattleach958]

Happy New Year Dear Phoebe! 🙂🪕🐓

[@thomasfranks7044]

Thank you for this moment of peace today

[@Aesops_Adventurers]

Oh my giddy aunt! I am so excited for the dulcimer Love the hat, I have old ties and am inspired! 🌱start the gord seeds indoors and then transplant outdoors, cover in alot of mulch to hold in moisture for longer. 🪱 You can even put down like 6pc of newspaper and like 3-4 inches of mulch, like wood chip, water well. and the trellis is an awesome idea. It would look so Gord-eous in the yard, 🙃sorry lol.

[@Aaron71304]

Love the look and your music 😊

[@johngoodall7097]

Happy New Year Phoebe that was marvellous as always ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Happy Gourdning ha ha ha!!!

[@SHRBJHD]

You’re a treasure Phoebe!

[@mikesoule1352]

Pa Ingalls used to sing to Mart and Laura: Old Grimes is gone, that fine old man. We'll never see him more. He used to wear a long grey coat, All buttoned down a-fore. Old Grimes'es wife made skim cheese, Old Grimes, he drank the whey. There came a strong and northern wind And it blew Old Grimes away!

[@zackbean2149]

Amazing as Always. I Love your Clothes and Hat. Much Fun. Giant Gords shld also be a blast. 😊

[@parlance.electricco]

Happy New Year, Ms Phoebe.

[@carlericvonkleistiii2188]

I love hearing slides on that banjo, and you did a great job with Auld Lang Syne! The first video of yours that I saw was the first one with the stahlhelm. I was like, "A lady in a helmet playing CLAWHAMMER banjo...this must be good." Came for the hat, stayed for the banjo! I'm sure the hatmaker is tickled to see you tickled! Happy new year to all!

[@BillyClancy-b9w]

Happy new year sounds great

[@ernies8828]

Happy New Year my beautiful friend.✝️🇺🇲🙏😊🎶

[@BigCheeseRumble]

You, your chickens, your new hat, and your banjo playing make me smile 😀. Happy New Year, Phoebe!

[@billmumbo2697]

That thing sounds great when you slide up to the D chord love your playing young Phoebe and I think you should learn to re-string your instruments in time . I have a Merlin dulcimer that is played like a guitar but is fretted like an ordinary dulcimer great fun too happy new year to you and your chickens 😅

[@marcmccook9154]

Thanks!

[@phoebesanders2487]

Thank YOU!

[@tobinsuke]

Your videos are always delightful! Thank you!

[@thomasheinrichdahmen3479]

Happy New Year! Love your music - I play a fretless bass (no chicken ...), but fretless banjo would be an option for a change. Greetings from Germany!

[@nothing-2-live-4]

The hat I think is a toque which would be what you call an ushanka without ear flaps? I don’t know but it is super sick and I would love to get the pattern from whoever made it. Upcycling ties that way would be awesome.

[@piguy3point14]

I never knew how to spell that until just now. TIL

[@Chris-2-of-3]

Happy New Year. Congrats on maintaining a great channel and increasing subscribership.

[@phillipcole3068]

Great rendition of a classic song! Love the timid chickens! Maybe they got a little scare in the night!😅 🐔

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

That sounds actually really good on that fretless. puts me back in the mood for new year's again. anyway, happy new year to you, family and chickens at the old banjo music arena.

[@timmullen8951]

Thank you, Phoebe, for your contribution to starting off the New Year right with a rousing rendition of Auld Lang Syne. Thank the girls for gracing us with their presence. OR maybe they should thank Miss Phoebe for "Bring up with the chickens." The chicken condo looks new. The wood isn't brown & weathered yet. Happy New Year To All. Be Well.

[@ronjones4069]

Im looking forward to another year visiting you.

[@MichaelBCoats]

Great hat, great chickens, great banjo, great song, Dr. Phoebe! Thank you for another Fretless Friday! Much love and God's blessings to you! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@samuelwilliams2245]

Nice

[@chicagolee]

Happy New Year Phoebe and everybody.

[@WarrenFloyd-xr2js]

It's fretless Phobe friday!!!😎👍

[@marcmccook9154]

Songs and tunes from the lsles are always a great addition to our lives. Thank you much friend.

[@TheTimeshadows]

It sounds like it was written for banjo. Now you've spoiled it for anything else. Way to go! :D

[@melkingrealestate]

Happy New Year Phoebe and thanks.

[@paulyoung5327]

The beautiful hat, is a beanie, Love the song and the whole ensemble Chickens and the yard and of course It's always good to see/hear you. I personally like light gauge strings they have a brighter sound and put less tension on the banjo. I have them on all my banjos except one it's nylon I don't play the dulcimer but all steel strings get brittle with age. Frail on

[@johnwilkinson5425]

Happy New Year Phoebe 🎉🎉🎇

[@clivewitcomb2839]

Some really accurate slides and chording - very impressive start for 2025! X

[@johnsmithSongbird]

Happy new year phoebe make this year your best banjo picking

[@eriklips]

Beautifullll…..❤

[@ModelTMitch]

Loving the hat Phoebe 😊 I always smile when your videos come up in my feed 😊 Happy New Year 😊🎉 another year of wonderful banjo music 😊

[@WarrenFloyd-xr2js]

Oh, i got my new g and e harmonicas today and already swapped the draw reeds, amazing sound!!

[@weswolever7477]

It’s always time for chicken antics I really like the up tempo part, so many times it sounds like a dirge

[@luc5798]

Happy new year Phoebe! You're lucky: in your country, the New Year is shaping up to be a better one! 🙂

[@KristyThomas-g5w]

Hi phoebe!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR CHICKENS Calmness, lol, mine run out the coop and fly all over the place, yours... are so.. normal, I mean, my are crazy, I like ur chickens better. Also, you should film a video of you playing the dulcimer. my little sister plays the dulcimer, and I think she would be so happy to see her favorite KZbinr playing it!!

[@piguy3point14]

It's Chicken:30 - Booyah!

[@wzardglick]

lovely

[@susansanders9159]

Sounds fantastic! Your spirit of thankfulness and appreciation is contagious. Good start to the New Year, finding joy in what we have and where we are.

[@John-Smiley-Garrett]

Happy New Year, Ms Phoebe. I fully expect you will be providing me with wonderful entertainment for the rest of my life!

[@AlanBrown-yg7rl]

Auld Lang Syne. "Long time since." Written by Robert Burns. And a Happy New Year to you and your menagerie. Squidward had the most impressive launch, bravo, Squidward!

[@martinStevens-ni7wx]

I like your hat and the little black chicken with furry feet. Heheh. You're going to be a professor of stringed instruments and old timey repertoire. I tune in for your intelligence, imagination and enthusiasm as much as the music, although I do actually love the music. Thanx SO much, happy New Year. Martin London UK

[@carlrose8619]

Your playing sounds so good!!

[@jimedenbaum2525]

Phoebe you said the gourds will be big - they will be heavy. You will need a mighty sturdy trellis...

[@brothernobody1775]

it'll be interesting to hear the tonal difference on that particular type of banjo with nylon strings in comparison to the nickel plated it sounds like it's rocking. nice picking all the same

[@johnbarnas879]

Yo, Phoebe, keep on pluckin'!

[@PeteHoss-pg3sf]

Very cool
