Fretless Friday 7- Angeline the Baker

[@ZeusBrown]

"I am fretting a little bit." Not allowed on Fretless Friday!

[@sonofhibbs4425]

😄

[@J.n.A.1993]

Dropped into comments to say just that! Thank you @ZeusBrown! 😂

[@pikmin4743]

like the blues, you have to feel it before you can release it :)

[@fomosapian6790]

😂

[@ConstructBreakdown]

that's why she's going fretless, she got tired of fretting!

[@alancandy6080]

Never worry about hitting the odd duff note. A pro musician I knew used to say ‘If I don’t hit at least five wrong notes in a concert, I know I’m not trying.’ You are always authentic and you can’t buy that nowadays.

[@mrmoose7844]

I did not notice any background noise. I do enjoy your videos so much. I'm 80 live alone in Ohio. You are sunshine in my day. Thank you Phoebe!

[@Chappi-cz7pj]

Have blessed day

God bless you, Mr Moose 🫎 ❤

Howdy Mr Moose

[@tmcmurdo826]

Phoebe, I hope you know how much joy you bring to all of us. You and your chickens are a treasure.

[@dancochrane617]

Thanks. I’ve never heard anyone play banjo better than this. If someone doesn’t like this they have something wrong with them. Keep the faith and keep on shining

[@acbenepe]

When I was a wee one my Mom and dad would sing a song that went: "My hat it has three corners, three corners has my hat. If it didn't have three cornes, it wouldn't be my hat".

[@lynn3556]

We sang that 3 corner hat song in music class more than 50 years ago in elementary school.

[@user-ig8pd9qn5h]

I really like that [play open string + slide to the same note] feature. Besides: Never hide noise. The ultra clean super edited stuff of nowadays productions is far from the real world. You are presenting the world as it is while adding value to it.

[@robertknox4018]

Agreed! I like the realness of these videos. There is something so whimsical about these videos. They are just real and that is what makes them beautiful

[@SheilaghRiordan]

Totally agree that she is adding value to the world

[@cactus2304]

i mean... there's a difference between editing out the realness of a recording and putting a wind muffling mic on during a windy day lol. like i'm glad we're not hearing a lawnmower during the recording

[@geoffb108]

I love the way your face expresses such joy and shows instantly when you are not on your expected note. Delightful session. That hat so suits your quirky style. This could start a fashion trend.❤❤

[@BookOfMormon4GenZ]

You’re cute, chickens 🐓 are cute, fretless banjo is amazing! Thank you bringing your talent…

[@richardmulcahy1535]

Phoeb, if there was a Nobel Peace Prize for fretless banjo, I would nominate You!

[@JoshSaysStuff]

I mean, her playing DOES give us peace, so I’d say she’s a contender!

[@tommylitchfield3450]

When I saw that Tri-corn hat, I just KNEW that you were going to channel your inner Patrick Henry and shout to the mountaintops "Give Me Fretless, or Give Me DEATH!!"

[@THEMANWITHTHEYELLOWHAT.]

Lol

[@user-xc8ku1sr3o]

The only background I hear are the house sparrows. Your fretless Fridays are a weekly treat.

[@Swampfox612]

Guess what? Chicken butt! Barred rock, buff Orpington, and fantastic banjo playing. Great way to end the day. Thanks for this!

[@susansanders9159]

Matching the chicken! Brilliant!

[@piguy3point14]

*scours Amazon for matching Pi Guy the Daddy/Dante the Husky Dawg matching outfits*

[@tylermiller4182]

This has become a favourite channel. Aside from the music, which is wonderful, the vibe makes me feel like the world is a kinder and more whimsical place than it usually does.

[@damoon2631]

Glad I found this!! It's like a breath of fresh mountain air on a crisp morning! Thanks!!!

[@lcoleman1961]

The sound quality is good. The banjo sounds great. There are no distracting background noises.

[@user-wy5cq5yt2r]

I don’t know who made and sent you that hat but it is absolutely YOU!!! Love it! Also love your picking!

[@IslandNewt]

LOVE THE HAT and the fact that you are wearing a watch! And you have chickens involved… I’m really happy I found your channel. Don’t change.

[@MichaelEdelman1954]

Your intonation on that banjo is definitely improving!

[@SleddogMicker]

You rock, Phoebe! Keep 'em coming!

[@saracroft21]

yeah I'm early! Love the song and the hat! Hugs from Munich, Germany.

[@brucewinningham4959]

"Angeline The Baker," A.K.A. "Angelina Baker" was written by Stephen Foster in the 1800's. He also wrote My Old Kentucky Home, Oh Suzannah, etc.

[@nerdgarage]

Love the hat, and the playing. Keep em coming.

[@JamesPaulsen-cl6qq]

You are a treasure and a great mother and wife of the future. Mountain folk would order banjos and such from Sears and file the frets off.

[@Daracdor]

Well done nice tricorn hat !

[@georgem7965]

Love the tricorn and the cockade.

[@stevenboyd593]

Good sound, good hat, great fowls and tune for the fretless. Tis Friday and frett free

[@raktoda707]

Delightful ! Those chicken friends are strutting and a posing. Your technique is so smooth Your right the hat is perfect!

[@contriveten372]

this is the highlight of my weeks since I found your channel.

[@kg6mov]

Hat and chicken both did well, mighty fine banjo playing too.

[@sannekimenai639]

wow, what an amazing video Phoebe! you are really improving and I loved the looks and interactions with the chickens. And that hat is really amazing! You really helped me not to fret on this friday!

[@libbyb3006]

Wonderful playing! Also I love the hat its great

[@Josh_Fredman]

What a splendid hat!

[@harvdog5669]

I think this hat should be your fretless friday hat, to be worn on Fridays 😊😊😊😊 Does anybody else agree

[@cprendon3]

Love the tricorn!

[@dragoncarver287]

Way you're dressed you're almost ready for Pie Rates of the Car Bean. You do pretty good. Playing fretless is what they do on a cello or violin. You have to have a very good ear to play those well.

[@kek6342]

Love the hat! Great tune!🙏💜🤗

[@tlb2732]

The audio quality from the new mic was very good. I could hear background noise but it was nowhere near annoying. I wouldn't have noticed it had you not pointed it out. The clearness and authenticity of the banjo was definitely noticable to my ears over my Android phone.

[@aleithiatoews6452]

I love the thunder in the background.

[@andyperkins8620]

The only background noise I hear are birds chirping when you’re not playing but they just add to your great videos. You are improving on the fretless. The slides sound great. Thanks for another awesome Fretless Friday!!!!!

[@connordimaggio5908]

NICE HAT!!! OMG!!

[@gwiyomikim5988]

Who wore it better? Phoebe or Toto?🤔 I do believe Phoebe is top of the pecking order in attire - and of course “Banjo”!🥰

[@elout680]

That's a cool hat!

[@jvebarnes]

Thank you Phoebe, I can't think of anything more down home than playing banjo to the chickens, and I like your tricorn hat. Have a glorious weekend.🙂🌻🧡

[@sonofhibbs4425]

Heard no background noise. Just beautiful birds. I can’t gauge whether or not you’ve improved because it all sounds great to me. (I play music also but not guitar-I’m a synth person) I’m just here for the refreshing vibe. …and chickens. …Which reminds me to go outside and feed mine right now! 😊 Have a great weekend.

[@6lu5ky86]

I'm a huge synth gear head, what's your favorite synthesizer?

[@0bm31770]

The hat looks great on you.

[@MichaelMiller-ny3rr]

Love the Hat!... the flower is a nice touch! 🐔

[@crochet18burple]

Love the hat. I enjoy fretless Friday

[@peterhammarqvist8962]

20k followers! We are a growing group of fans😁 Well done, keep it simple!

[@user-jf6mr2gc9p]

You pick your way into my heart. But you should know girl, that that’s a Loyalist’s hat.

[@bosthebozo5273]

I'm so glad i found this channel. Excellent performance! 👏🏻 🐔

[@FacelessonaThrone]

That hat is awesome

[@Naturlich133]

You're getting better every time! Love this Phoebe!

[@musicalmiscellany]

Ahh. It’s a black silkie! They’re a friendly breed. We had a black cochin that my wife referred to as “the lap chicken”. 😂 nice playing on that fretless.

[@Chris-2-of-3]

I like your hat too.

[@RalfyCustoms]

Yeehaw! great hat, great chuck, and always a great tune Phebes, thanks for sharing and a wonderful weekend to you hun

[@Batmandabomb]

I like the Polish chicken....... i took my banjo out yesterday because of you.. and I do like the hat

[@Soundguydan]

Love it! The hat and the song.

[@piguy3point14]

Great hat!

[@Crazy_lutenist]

Вообще прекрасно! Ты рассказала на своем инструменте (сыграла) все, что с тобой произошло за прошедшую неделю! :-) Музыкальный отчёт о проделанной работе. :-) У тебя замечательно получается рассказать! как прошла твоя неделя. А у нас ещё рано траву косить. Газонокосилку я буду использовать только месяца через два! Хорошей и доброй и интересной этой недели тебе желаю! :-)

[@daverow49]

Phoebe, love the slide ornaments on the fretless. the audio recording is great. Nice hat too. Keep at it! :)

[@jeanmelanson448]

What a wonderful video! Such art in such an easy way of doing things! Colorful, playful and your love shines through for your music and animals! Thanks.

[@here-right-here]

Great hat! 😎

[@PaulOfThebesMC]

Very enjoyable and kudos to your hat maker, very snazzy :)

[@peterrat100]

Thank you. Love Fretless Friday.

[@matthewwhelan2101]

Wonderful!!

[@michaelhoernschemeyer6794]

I soo look forward to fretless Friday. Thank you!

[@mrmoose7844]

Chicken watching the sky, maybe there's a hawk in the area. That might be why Toto was upset

[@here-right-here]

Maybe she was worried for a moment about the sky falling.

[@davidgilroy2472]

Well, it seems like I'm seeing a young lady in a colonial style hat next to a bicycle wheel, with a chicken or two playing an odd looking banjo, no frets even. It sounds really nice. I worry that this may be my mind going off on it's own as l enter my twilight years.

[@jimcrews8951]

The trials to video Banjo Medicine. Thanks for another great video. The mic sounds good. Your fretless playing is improving.

[@MichaelBCoats]

Dr. Phoebe, I love Fretless Friday! You are improving. Keep workin' on those slides. It was a nice day here in Western PA today, and I visited friends who have chickens. We sat on the porch and watched them. It made me think of my favorite practitioner of banjo! Much love and God's blessings to you, Doc! ♥♥♥♥♥

[@SteveCondron]

You made my Friday. I had been fretting a little.

[@6lu5ky86]

She's gathered us here today, and every Friday with inspiration and whimsy. For this I'm grateful.

[@theghettogourmet6762]

Just stumbled on your 'Down to the River' video and came straight to here. Good progress! Also, beautiful chickens.

[@hermosafieldsforever4782]

Thank God ya come on, totally it was Thursday!

[@pikmin4743]

your chickens, and their names, are the best

[@yeoldfart8762]

Angeline is a great tune/song. We play and sing it most Wednesday night sessions. Though to be really traditional it's a song/tune that never ends so if you are playing in G it should end on a D chord , not a G chord. The last note in the tune in G is a D note. In D the last note is an A. Well played.

[@jamesbondpa]

I really enjoyed this tune. Loving the slide on that banjo. Thank you!

[@markperrin1016]

Thanks !!!

[@joeblakeukeman]

I love you, Phoebe! You pay banjo better 'n I do! ❤

[@carlericvonkleistiii2188]

The microphone sounded very good!. I like the two string slide it adds depth to the chord. Thanks for another Fretless Friday!

[@futuredirected]

Excellent Fretless Friday! It is a great joy to watch You expand Your banjo virtuosity, with chicken backup. Keep doing what You’re doing, and pretty soon, You’ll be sliding into perfect intonation and rhythm. I hear it coming. ❤🪕❤

[@rogermcadams8806]

Chickens of the Caribbean!!! Trying to decide between stylish Revolutionary war or pirate. Toto looks more pirate...😀

[@edwardschmitt5710]

You make life better. The sound was great The new Mic is definitely doing it's thing.

[@NMranchhand]

I find it amazing, BTW, that anyone can hit a right note without frets, and I’ve been doing luthier work for years. And you are coming along really well.

[@joeladams338]

Wonderful escape from the world. Keep it up. Thank you.

[@young1939]

Phoebe, I stumbled onto your site accidently but I am sure enjoying your fretless Friday. Sounds great to me. Love you. 💕💕💕

[@JerDog1984]

Awesome Phoebe, you improve every time you play! The background noise was just the sound of nature, it works out nicely :D

[@daveduncan8004]

Good job young lady good picking I’m really enjoying your KZbin channel and I like that hat. It looks really good on you keep up the good work.

[@phillipcole3068]

Love the hat! I can see you playing "Yankee Doodle Dandy" or something like that on Independence Day!

[@brucesteele3052]

Nailed it. Again.

[@d.randal.h]

I waited all afternoon for this to drop. Unfortunately, it was Thursday - I had my days mixed up. Fretless Friday is better than Phoebeless Thursday, let me tell ya!

[@ajcraft-hello]

Love the hat, song, and your light. Thank you🙌

[@paulyoung5327]

Absolutely loved it The banjo, your playing, and of course all the ambiance of outdoor picking. Yes you are improving on the fretless banjo, it's not and easy thing to learn, but your talent shows through nicely. The mike noise muffler worked great the background noise was very minimal . Frail on!

[@FriendofSeikilos]

The mic worked really well! I feel like there wasn't much if any background noise, and it still felt like we had a clear sound from the banjo and from the speaking!

[@eialzorn9284]

yay! cool! it's my favorite folksong!

[@JusticeConstantine]

Your wind cover on your mic is working great. Wonderful playing on your fretless banjo Phoebe.

[@brendalee8694]

Very enjoyable to watch; thanks for sharing your gift 💝 with us!!!
