They make great music and banjos together. That is one of those lucky matches that we all get to share the beauty of.

[@bradsims7551]

Makes me smile every time

[@FlyFishMike_]

Thanks so much, Jason & Pharis. You changed my life. thank you.

[@rossandallie]

That must have been the best timing I've ever seen - sun coming out from the clouds just as the song ends! Beautiful song and lovely scenery!

[@arealjoy2090]

Love that little shared smile at the end. So glad they both share their time at Voiceworks....a real blessing.

[@Threestaves]

I can't get enough of you two. I love the whole package. Your personas, the music and the wonderful craftsmanship of the instruments. God bless you.

[@diegov1206]

Who is still coming to listen to this wonderful song in 2023?

[@andylowe6968]

ME!! In 2024 yet. First heard when it first came out. Undoubtedly the best version ever. These two are a treasure.

[@CraftsmanGreen]

@@andylowe6968 me too, I just asked Jason and Phris to make a new version of the song , in the same place by the brook. Hope they do it!

[@ergoguitar]

This makes me feel better about being a human being...and better about human being in general.

[@michaelling3056]

I can't believe this was recorded live, holy crap!

[@GehrimiahThrrapIII]

Everything about this is totally beautiful!

[@CraftsmanGreen]

Oh my God... was it really 11 years ago I left a comment here... just as perfect as it was when I heard it first. Pharis and Jason I hope you and your family are all well. Bless you and take care

[@bobpike8050]

This is my new favorite thing ever.

[@bluesandtrouble]

Amazing, beautiful voices and sounds. A balm for the soul

[@10kscoedsk]

That banjo sounds amazing

[@High_Lord_Of_Terra]

Such a lovely arrangement, great feel on the tempo

[@danielwyman947]

Thank u for this, I love your vocal harmonies

[@jenr9391]

This is incredible. I wish I would have left a deposit years ago so I could own one of your banjos...well, there's 2021!!

[@RustyRooooo]

More videos please!! Played my lefty Romero while the sun was coming up this morning....:)

[@robpfisher]

They are just amazing! Such a beautiful sound. I've just ordered a Romero banjo.....I need to practise a lot more to do it justice!!

[@alan4sure]

So have you improved in 4 years? Or sold the banjo??? Do tell :-)

[@benjib3909]

Ordered five years ago... So you are just now getting your Romero? Haha, I'm sure it's worth the wait.

[@angelovanoeveren7936]

6 years have past, still there?

[@CraftsmanGreen]

Would love to see more of your music here... saving for one of your beautiful banjos too! Great work...

[@salmon19]

OH my! I've played this song over, and over, and over! My Next banjo will be a Jason Romero! AWESOME! Play it again Sam!

[@lilyofthenorth1]

you guys and your music are beautiful. thank you.

[@abrokenmanwithaplan]

Saw this vid. Then saw your other vid. Then bought one of your albums. Then feel in love with the both of you. One day I'll own one of those romeros. Thanks guys

[@bolinjo]

Fantastic. Wonderful sound on that banjo, cool tune, great singing. Lovely all around.

[@lucjyjazz]

WOW ON THAT BANJO SOUND!!!!!! THANKS FOR PLAYING

[@superj1608]

heck yes!! gonna have to make a pit stop in horse fly on my way back to quesnel. this duo is simply amazing. cant wait to check out some banjos!

[@65gmb]

Beautiful version of this song (2nd favorite to Jody Stecher's version) and beautiful sound on that banjo!

[@OblivionSector99]

I absolutely love this...thank you!

[@cassiehewitt5666]

How have I not heard of you wonderful folks before tonight, when I tracked this down after listening to Prarie Home Companion?! You're my new faves. Love it all!

[@LostintheHoller]

Please please please more videos like this. You guys are the best.

[@talister106]

I read a article about this duo in Acoustic Guitar and had to check them out. Glad I did.

[@bigal25938]

What a great sounding banjo.

[@pertwang]

I have only just had this brought to my notice by a friend on facebook. This is beautiful picking and singing. Thanks.

[@rosscoyates]

I have a friend that lives up the hill from 150 mile. Next time I'm up that way I would love to get up to Horse Fly and look at your banjos. We have gone up to Horse Fly a couple of times. I can see why you choose there. Real small town old time feeling about the place.

[@DanDDirges]

Oh yes! Luvin this! Excellent song and duet!

[@shanejones809]

This just provided me a moment of complete zen. Many thanks.

[@TwoCatsUp]

How fun is this. I know this song from an old National Geographic album called Music of the Ozarks I bought decades ago, it's quite different from what's here, and very earthy, but this version is memorable in its own right, an actual piece of music. Nicely done.

[@walkerhayden590]

GREAT VIBRATIONS !!

[@lowellcalavera6045]

That's an amazing banjo. In many ways.

[@ronibanjo6201]

I really love your interpretation! One more subscriber +1👍

[@tmart9084]

I would "LOVE" to hear them do Man of constant sorrow

[@chuckjeffery944]

Good people. Wonderful performance.

[@Andymin7]

Really beautiful cover, I listen to it again and again... The banjo you made have a really sweet sound, it sound like nylon strings, is it? Cheers!

[@clarkakatiff6787]

Nice. Different. Saw you play in Palo Alto about this time of the century. Wildwood player. solid rhythm.

[@TheHBeernink]

This is really beautiful. Have been a fan of your banjos and music for a few years now, and am even more of an admirer after seeing these recent videos (especially great to see the vimeo/fretboard video)

[@Physicslawyer]

You make wonderful banjos. I need to get on your waiting list!!

[@yodaworks]

Just caught you on Prairie Home Companion... front row directly in front of you guys.... WOW... .love it... best wishes with the young'in....

[@DermitderUkulele]

A beautiful pearl in the muddy swamp of YT. True inspiration to me.

[@iamfugazi1969]

I saw your vid from fretboard journal. I think you two are great! I enjoyed this video as well. I am a rock guitarist, but someday, if I ever get a banjo, it will be a Romero!!

[@clarkakatiff6787]

What a story...Wild Bill...a good man done wrong.

[@RandyStrubleBackingTracks]

What a great setting, tune and performance, enjoyed!!!

[@herrenhajji]

Love it, guys. Keep these coming.

Beautifully done.

[@shurppa64]

[@christiancardenas6811]

[@paulstanley31]

Always love your music. Amazing that there is no sanctuary from trolls on the internet. Also, is that river behind you fishy? Ever cast a fly in it?

[@alan4sure]

The river has rainbow trout. Google fishing around Horsefly or Quesnel B.C.

[@treyyoung7965]

Fantastic! I hope you guys are working on another album, I love A Passing Glimpse and would love to hear more stuff from y'all!

[@williamsmedley1910]

Mighty fine indeed!!!

[@physicslawyer9845]

Love this.

[@somarmd]

Wonderful playing, enjoyed it very much. Your banjo's are beautiful. I really like the style of playing the banjo. Can you tell me what that's called. I'd love to learn it. Thanks Dave

[@randallcotten5069]

Great! Love it! As a banjo nerd, I'm curious about the gauges of nylons he's got on that beautiful banjo.

[@keithmadison8754]

Big wow factor, so good

[@crazymusicman13]

they love each other for sure. or at least they love playing music with one another

[@rodp7803]

Romero is more pleasing to the ear than the best current banjo folk artist out there... i love me some avett and some tillers but damn Romero is incredible!

[@Aniando]

Beauteful. Thank You. Aniando Sweden

[@r810s]

This is great!!

[@marktsmall]
