Knee slapping, smiles, who could wrong with that performance.

[@michaelmaddux5447]

Wow! All in Last Chance tuning too. Can't stop listening to it.

[@terryburns7500]

All is right with the world when I listen to - and watch - this!!! The smiles and music!

[@lonewolfpatriot8144]

Another one, could not stop smiling. Wonderful tune, fantastic band. Molly seems to bring joy to everyone she plays with and for. Already set new height by winning best guitarist, first woman. One of the best of the best. I hope God continues to bless this lovely Lady.

[@zeppelinmexicano]

This is the best, hottest, rockingest, most energizing group I've seen on earth so far. They are in the Rhiannon Giddens level, a very special energy.

[@kennethlamb2926]

Love them. Look at the Waryfarers for similar talent and energy.

[@glenngairns2284]

Wow, great acoustics, and tight harmony! Thank you for the post.

[@alan4sure]

Molly looks positively radiant and obviously having so much fun!

[@ph00z00]

the talent is so amazing.

[@loduk]

I loved this when I bought their album- but to see them smiling and playing is just the best!

[@GimmieCookie]

Hi Molly! Love harmonies!

[@stanruud7253]

That is so fast and tight! Beautiful.

[@alsteiner7602]

Whoa. Wowowowow

[@williamboyle5041]

I had a chance to play a bit with Allison at Clifftop last year. She is just a fine picker and really nice lady.

[@GimmieCookie]

Much more into her voice myself, not much going on for runs but she's strumming up something fierce here indeed.

[@davidmorse8432]

[@raywaddell6349]

I've been saying she's really moving up.

[@-----REDACTED-----]

Anyone got the lyrics?

[@mbsnyderc]

Got any more of this Show?every other live video of these Girls is for Sweden,and it seem as if they do not like to get to close to the stage over there.

[@tobyblake851]

The melody is very close to John Brown's Body. What great playing. I love old timey music and try to play it on banjo.

[@steveclime2093]

Is there any possibility to get a Banjo tab of this? I have searched all over and love this version. You are awesome!

[@guitar1977man]

Love this tune, but can't find who wrote it. I've found some of it from Cisco Houston. Anyone out there know and please don't forget the tabs! Thanks!

[@relars52]

Wasn't this the Civil War-era song that Kevin Costner mumbled about, in "Dances With Wolves"? When he was bathing near the soldier fort?

[@patmcintire9875]

Sounds a LOT like "John Brown's Dream".....whatever they call it, these gals burn it up!

[@xanther97]

John Brown's Dream?

[@banjonjp]

How would you like to come play in the North of Scotland?

[@mbsnyderc]

I believe they just did that.

[@nobanjono]

basically this is John Brown's Dream

[@mandoist]

The title 'Pretty Little Miss' is documented prior to the title "John Brown's Dream".

[@traemcdowell5027]

Who's that pretty little fiddler with the red dress on🤔😉

[@benjohan]

It is Lena Jonsson. She is swedish and a very clever fiddler.

[@SteveGoldfield]

Sounds like "John Brown's Dream" to me.

[@crabbyoldman8209]

+Steve Goldfield I do believe it is a redux of John Brown's Dream, but as I remember from my playing days, there were lots of tunes that were given new arrangements and became almost a new tune or song. I like the general idea of giving songs new life that way. Nobody stops playing the old forms, so it's not as if they're being replaced, and this kind of update hopefully will keep the old tunes and songs in the rotation. And I just like the creativity involved in taking something traditional and reshaping it into something new - especially when it's this kind of quality.

[@bellumclash2337]

Can we just call this "John Brown's Dream" & be done?

[@sing-alongwithkevinm2462]

In the same tune family as John Brown’s Dream

[@sing-alongwithkevinm2462]

The tune family is a common a popular one in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where it probably originated but has since been disseminated. Hobart Smith, of Saltville, Va., also played the tune on the banjo. Tommy Jarrell, of Mt. Airy, North Carolina, suggested that "John Brown's Dream," which he learned from his father, fiddler Ben Jarrell, was derived from "Pretty Little Miss."

[@bellumclash2337]

@@sing-alongwithkevinm2462 Yeah, I know that & so do the Goodbye Girls. It was a choice to avoid a political hot button. Just call it "John Brown's Dream" & let the idiots go away.
