Thanks Dusty! Francis is a real pro. We only had a short time with him, but it was a good time.

🤩🎼🎸🪕

Hey thanks for being in it, Bruno! You rocked on those bones! Merlin was my great uncle 🤣

Thanks!

We greatly appreciate your kind words! It’s been a wonderful surprise to hear that folks enjoy our music jams. We started this channel a couple years ago, simply to have a memory of playing together. It’s become something more.

Hey, thanks so much! We sure do have fun.

Annika is gifted!

Thanks Dusty Travis, maker of the phenomenal steam-bent, Purple Heart Rhythm Bones!

Thank you Annika. It was one of my favorite projects ever! Working with you and all the amazing musicians is a true honor! Looking forward to the sea shanty 🎹🎶

Harry’s an awesome musician, so we named him “Sensei”.

more videos to come…

Thank you Chris! I’m so glad you were in it! Great rhythms as always.

Thanks so much! This one was a month in the making.

Yeah…it runs out of notes quickly.

Thanks!

So I did some minor modifications on it, and it’s strung just like a standard mountain dulcimer. That means I didn’t have to learn something new. It looks like a Hobbit’s instrument in my hands 🤣

Thank you!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you Songbird! Can’t wait to get the BRJ back together.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you! It’s fun to layer music tracks with different instruments.

Thanks Auntie Em! I needed some jam time!

Hey thanks Cliff!

Sensei strikes!

Thanks!

Thanks so much! Ellen worked hard on that song and we had a blast recording it!

Thank you! It was a fun departure from folk music 🎶

Thanks so much! I’ll pass your compliments on to Ice Machine. Keep jammin’ in the high country!

Thanks Professor!

Thanks! I should have at least let the fellas know which songs I was switching to, and when 🤔 but they were great.

Thanks!!

Thank you! The Brendan Power Lucky 13s are amazing.

Thank you 🙏

Thanks, it’s was rather impromptu.

These Old Time Tunes indeed tug on the heart strings. The charming stories were written by folks of a bygone era, paired with beautiful melodies. Sure glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Mike! It’s always been a favorite of mine.

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thank you! It’s a fun one!

Yes, we think it helps with songs that are a bit repetitive. There are also some funny stories in these tunes.

You owned the percussion on that! Different than bones…just plain cool 😎

Thanks so much! Ice Machine was behind this one.

Thanks!!

Maybe someday I can make a sequel. The list of wood varieties is long, so I doubt I’ll ever get to the end of it. I don’t think I’ve played Tigerwood bones, but hard woods generally have a higher pitch and louder clack vs. soft woods. As mentioned in the video, the sound is greatly affected by the grip and offset of the bones. If you’re thinking of getting some, I’d recommend one set of wood and the other of natural bones. Any set you get will get the job done.

@@barnjam Thank you very much! I'm just getting into "trying" to play the bones, it's not as easy as it looks, and I expected that going in to it. Anyway, I purchased a set of Tigerwood and a set of Boxwood, both made by Pea Patch. If you could point me in the direction to where I could get a set of real bones I would really appreciate it. Take care and God bless!

That’s great! Those Pea Patch Bones are very resonant and versatile. You may want to start with a two-fingered grip, if they seem thick. I mean two fingers between the bones instead of one. Natural bones are harder to find anymore. Several great makers have retired. Check out Lark in the Morning for pair of natural bones I like. larkinthemorning.com/collections/bones-spoons/bones

@@barnjam Thank you very much for the tip on how to hold the Pea Patch bones, and taking the time to answer my question. I really do appreciate it! I will definitely check out the website. Thanks again.

Sorry I missed your reply. Here’s a link to a video I did, that shows how different grips and offsets can affect the sound. I hope that helps. m.ruclips.net/video/dopvHYDjWMs/видео.html

Thanks! Sensei Harry brought this tune to us. We only tried it once. Last of the Mohicans is one of my all-time favorite films.

Thanks Songbird!!!

Thank you!

😀🎼

@@barnjam lovely combo

Thank you! Music is a rabbit hole. I haven’t found the bottom yet.

@@barnjam you're welcome 😊

Smilin’ Kimmie did great!

Thank you!!
