So, i don't know banjos at all, this is all just conjecture, but I could understand if an instrument would go out of tune going from hot to cold, but if you give it time to "settle" to the new temperature, and then tune it, wouldn't it be fine?
Just because there's snow doesn't mean it's that cold out. There was a big storm in my area a few weeks ago, tons of snow on the ground still, yet it hit 70° this week. It doesn't all melt, just gets really icy.
This is sadly accurate but this isn’t even remotely true bluegrass, that shit had me dancing as a baby. To this day though, no fucking clue what they’re saying
@@gsaucegaming6635 It's honestly probably like that because everyone was dying of poverty and the common cold constantly during the time it was developed
I discovered this song through another banjo player on RUclips. I was a smoker for a while and when I was sure I would stop breathing, I remember hearing this song over and over in my head.
@@brain4154 This is not an original song from the creator of this video. There is an older version by Bert Hare and I’m sure it’s not an original song of his. I think the version I’ve heard is from a field recording. Since it’s a folk song, it’s probably older than the field recording.
I love the singing, it reminds me of old dudes like Ewan MacColl and Woody Guthrie. We need more of this in music today: trying to sound human and like yourself, not trying to sound "perfect".

@@jimmymarrs1556 no, in that case I agree with the original comment, pretty sure it's 'bride'. A Christian bride means someone metaphorically married to Jesus, ie a Christian. It's not an uncommon expression.

Alright, here are the actual lyrics for the version that he's playing here
On one summer eve as the sun was setting
The wind blew soft and cold
A young man laid
On a bed of fever and
Tears stood in his eyes
I’m dying, mother, I’m surely dying
And hell is my awful doom
Take my hand and
Press it tight for my heart is sad with gloom
One morning fell as I left the meeting
The spirit bid me pray
Not tonight but
Next week only I must go and dance in the gate
I’m dying, mother, I’m surely dying
And hell is my awful doom
Take my hand and
Press it tight for my heart is sad with gloom
After this I’ll get converted
And be a Christian bride
But alas too late
I have seen the folly of saying not tonight
I’m dying, mother, I’m surely dying
And hell is my awful doom
Take my hand and
Press it tight for my heart is sad with gloom

And hell is my awful doom

Not tonight, but next week, only I must go and dance in the gate

And hell is my awful doom
Oh, take my hand and press it tight, for my heart is sad with gloom

Seen the folly of saying "not tonight"

It’s the New Year’s for me, and this is a very good song to listen to. I may have had a few drinks but I will still look into this as a sober mind. Love you bro. 2:29
Listening to this with my eyes closed, gets me emotional. Love the song, thank you very much.
Beautifully done, man
the banjo has such a bittersweet melancholy, you play it so well it literally brings tears
I have a feeling that he is standing in the red river like a huge Guliver and playing music
this popped up on my recommended and I'm all for it. cheers from San Diego!
This is so wonderful, it makes my soul happy 💜
I love your style of dress and aesthetics. Not to mention sone solid banjo-playing!! I bet you would be a fun person to jam with 😌✨
I'm glad the algorythm lead me here, this is wonderful!
The song, the snow, this guy standing in the open air, the little laugh at the end-the vibes are immaculate 👌🏽
Been listening to this over and over since last year, even "youtube to mp3" 'd it cause i couldn't find your version anywhere. Your voice is gold
I did NOT expect that voice,great song
RUclips's ads officially ruined the fucking moment, thank GOD I'll never be able to truly experience this as others do. I'm honestly so glad that this and many future events will be entirely tarnished, truly
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among woman, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11: 28-30
Damn near brought me to tears
Man this deserves so much more views... Absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work!
“Silver is for the kettle, and gold for the furnace, but The LORD is the tester of hearts- Bible” your heart is like discovered silver, dirty and not pure, when silver is purified it is melted over and over, to the point that when it’s melted and glows red hot, it is pure enough to see your own reflection in the puddle, so also does the LORD purify your heart, till HE can see HIS own reflection in it, seek the LORD and be reborn, ask The LORD to renew and restore you, repent and ask The LORD for HIS Salvation for those who seek will find and those who knock the door will be open unto them, no man is good, all are in need of salvation, Jesus died so that our sins will be wiped away and so that we could be made new, seek The Kingdom of GOD for if you would be wise you would be wise for yourself, pick up your cross and deny your flesh and follow the path of GOD, for The Kingdom of GOD is at hand, in JESUS MIGHTY NAME Amen and Amen
@@juanit0tackit0tackito2 Amen brother
I know this will take off a bit more in a few weeks or days, so just a heads up for that.
It's a great tune and you made a great version of it.
This randomly came up on my recommended and I'm not disappointed. This is some good stuff mate
Seriously good, need a studio version
i knew this guy from school
Power comes in all forms, even in the vibrations upon a set of strings
I was not expecting that voice

You bring me to tears every time.
I always thought of banjos as the haha funny Latin music string instrument but this is really touching and somber, yet hopeful in a way?
I don't really know how to put it into words, but thank you for broadening my horizon anyway! I hope you continue doing your thing and posting :)
Latin instruments? Always been a southern/Appalachian thing to me
You’re probably thinking of a Spanish/Classical guitar
@@obeyjuancannoli7120 huh, thanks for the tip. Might look into it more, so I get right the next time around.
One day. I'll look back upon this song.
so happy this came on my recommended, thank you

You are awesome man. I hope you keep posting. You are a treat to this world.

You do the banjo great justice, sir.
Idk how this got recommended to me but I’m so happy it was😊
You're so incredibly talented
there is something about melancholic banjo songs that is just right
Whenever I need to slow my heartbeat down and get some perspective, I throw this song on and put it on loop 🔁
My heart feels warm now. You make a crazy kind of sound man.
Good on you lad
