Sally in the Garden on a Gourd Banjo

Sally in the garden! Sorry the video is so grainy. I filmed this at sunset so I lost light faster than I thought I would. Also, I've got a new phone and I'm not as familiar with its video settings lol. I quite like this song, and I think it sounds amazing on my gourd banjo! If anyone knows of more spooky/haunting old-time tunes like this, feel free to leave them in the comments and maybe I'll learn them! I heard a really great version of Hares on the Mountain by Nora Brown, so I might try to learn that sometime.
Also, this awesome gourd banjo was made by Jesse Head! If you want to check out his other work (he makes lots of cool gourd/wood instruments) and maybe get a banjo of your own, you can find him at his website jesseheadnaturalluthiership.com/ and follow him on instagram at / head_jesse He could make you a banjo just like this one, or something more customized! I'm a big fan of his work.

That Gourd Banjo has quickly become my favorite with its mellow tone.

I don't know Phoebe but there's something about that gourd banjo... The Sounds you are getting out of that makes me fly from China into Japan and the Orient over to Africa then the Appalachian Mountains and back to Nashville.... I here all kinds of stuff in that , even Led Zeppelin

@gwiyomikim5988 Ай бұрын

I know what you mean. The sound today from the gourd banjo sounded like something un-banjo like…but I liked it a LOT.👍🏼

@Dave-ty2qp Ай бұрын

It does have a strong flavor of a Japanese Koto. As a young man I lived in Tokyo, and close to a music teacher that had a studio nearby. I miss that beautiful music that came from those instruments, so much. Ot perhaps it was just the 60's I miss. LOL

I'd definitely like to hear more spooky songs.

When I was younger people used to say "Are you out of your Gourd?" Well i am into the mellow sound of the Gourd Banjo.

@fazergazer Ай бұрын

Reminds me of my Turkish uncle who used to play these modal songs in the evening to help coax the animals in for the night.❤

Most entertaining and quotable intros of any YT channel: "That's not the camera that's the mic", "This is not a lighting channel, it's a banjo channel!", "I need to record a video, so here's a video that I'm recording." 👍

Yep, it's Phoebe.

@Jaichbinhier Ай бұрын

I wouldn't normally listen to a spooky-sounding song, And under regular conditions, I don't watch many shed tours, But if Phoebe is the one who is putting them on, Then I'll enjoy the content regardless of vid genre or other lures. 🙂

@Magpie7070 Ай бұрын

I usually think of bright and happy when I think of banjo music. In a minor key, it takes on a certain darkness, like impending doom lurking in the shed somewhere. Let's hope that's not the case.

@philosophicalphoenix369 Ай бұрын

I have gone through life thinking I hated banjo music, until tonight. This is the first banjo whose sound I not only can tolerate, but also immediately fell in love with, and the minor key song is especially poignant and gorgeous. ❤

@wmritchey1101 Ай бұрын

I like the minor chords too, when it's a lonely, quiet evening there is three of us that play through the trees. It's chill. None of has met as of yet. Bards in the dark.

@daverow49 Ай бұрын

That gourd banjo has a deep warm tone and that piece is very moving. It reminds me of an old Celtic melody and that is a good thing!

I love this song. It's especially beautiful on the gourd banjo, with the dark shed adding to the mood. Although not a lighting channel, you do seem to light up wherever you're playing!

Phoebe, we have a gourd festival in Delaware, Ohio the weekend of October 5th. I'm sure you and your banjo would be quite a welcome presence there! If you're going to be there I definitely would not miss it!

There’s technical ability and then there’s musicianship. You have both. So many banjo players focus on speed, drive, etc. I love what you are doing and where you are going, combined with your lovely/idiosyncratic presence.

Idk how but this song just unlocked a memory of me being little watching Narnia and being terrified of the scene where Mr tumnus kidnaps the girl and plays a song next to the fireplace, I used to get a repetitive nightmare about him after that

As with all things that come with practice...your playing just keeps getting better and better Phoebe! Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us. As for the lighting...well, just keep going on your shed renovations and you'll get there! A little suggestion once said redesign is complete...try some back lighting to accentuate your banjo collection and add a little depth to you (maybe a subtle color splash up the back wall or something similar. Not too distracting from you and your talents of course). Oh, and I like the new microphone(s) so far...just be careful about the proximity effect with them...don't wander too far afield. Keep up the wonderful work!!!!!

Dig the Sad Song. Minor chords (flat your 3rd [move one finger!]) make you yearn for resolution - often back to the major - but this song never resolves. It just leaves you hanging.

Kind of an eerie tune but I like it. Dont know if it's the tune or the banjo that makes it so eerie. Also it's nice to see a musician that doen't stare at their fingers the entire tune.

@GneasYTC Ай бұрын

That's a beautiful tune, and it sounds amazing on the gourd banjo. It was really pleasant to just sit back, close my eyes and let it wash over me. It reminds me of something, but I can't place it. There's a traditional Irish song called The Sally Gardens, which has a slow contemplative melody as well, but it's not the same. But I wonder if there's a link there somewhere - I know Appalachian music was heavily influenced by Irish and Scottish trad music. Anyway that was a lovely listen, thank you.
