I love soooo much canadian spirituality !!!!
Waw! !!! proud to be one of them !
hehe!!
great man i had one of his albums but cannot find wish i could
This man is just great! Very clear and enjoyable. USA NH
simply the best at what he did.thank you,you tube.or else we would never have seen maurice in action.
I live in that guys hometown. Nice to see a video of him
....por favor, ni le conocía...que swing! ...que forma de tocar !... que maquina !!! ...vaya genio ...increible. Gracias por el vídeo Jack Convery
i blead from my nose because of its epicness
As one from the same hometown as Maurice (Edmundston) I'm proud that the king of the banjo is a fellow Brayon. He was born Beaulieu but changed the spelling to make it sound more English
woah, I never knew of this guy! This really amazing talent!
wow this guy sounds great, really nice picking
Fantastic musician. I believe that the second title is "Limehouse blues"
oh how i wonder if my late father knew of this performer. I hear much playing/styling similarities, although not as finished professional performer as Marice, I think he could of held his own pretty well... brings tears to my eyes. wow Marice!
How can anybody not like this? The second tune, by the way is Lime House Blues. I play three finger style on a five string, but I love these hot tenor banjo guys -- they RIP!
It's Alabamy Bound
I always come back to this song time and time again
it can be, but it can also be the most heartbreaking..
He was my wife great uncle. I have never heard any thing like it...It's soothing. She loves to listen to it when she can...
This is what I would pay to see in a concert
Canada is a wunderbar land !!!!
Bravo ! bravo ! bravo!
What a delight to finally see Maurice play for the TV crowd! I just uploaded his entire "Golden Banjo Classics" 2-LP set which has marked my childhood a lot.
Hi Jack. It's a shame more people haven't added videos of Maurice on YOuTube.
Anyone would be hard pressed to find another banjo player of his caliber. Thank you so much for the posting!
Terry in Alexis, NC, USA
great to be able to see and hear this .... Mark b , YOU MUST BE VERY PROUD !
if theres anyone, anywhere, that can play the tenor banjo better than the late, great, maurice bolyer, bring em on. id love to see it.
Yep he is a king...
Maurice ( Beaulieu,I believe was his actual name), was a great all round musician,usually featured on the tenor banjo,and always willing to pass on any of his knowledge & technique to others.Merci Maurice.
feaking epic, one more reason to love canada
Maurice was my mothers cousin...Beaulieu...changed the spelling when he moved to Ontario from Edmundston NB
I think the banjo is the happiest sounding instrument ever invented.
Though he is Canadian, he is really deserve to be called the king of Banjo. His performance is awesome ,second to non.
Especially I moved to his adlib-like single tone play. I bet it is very hard to play and rarely seen the other banjo players do.
I am playing this song on ukulele strumming style and quite at loss of solo play part and this video clip gave me the hint.
Thank you.
Remember hearing this guy play when I was a kid and finally trying to learn the banjo now that I'm retired.
Truly AMAZING !
so happy sounding
Genius !!
Thank you for sharing.
Wow this is great thanks for posting!
wow.
Maurice Beaulieu - was his original name.
From: Edmundston, New Brunswick/Nouveau Brunswick, Canada.
man hes amazing wish i could play like that
The plectrum banjo and the five string banjo are completely different instruments altogether. Comparing the two would be like comparing a guitar to a ukelele: they kinda look the same and are physically played in a similar manner but they are performed upon very differently for their own particular style and are of a different size, tuning and string arrangement. That fifth string does make a world of difference. That being said, this guy is one of the finest tenor banjoists I have seen.
Maybe some of u don't know Maurice was an AWESOME PIANIST, as well! U should hear his THE BLUEBIRD BOOGIE!
Awesome!
Amazing
@mafre029 Totally agree. What a talent he was wow!
that's reeeally nice!
Nice & beautiful
@FrickaKMD its a good band to listen to
I always called him Mr Blur Hands
He was one of the best if not the best Banjo
player
diosss, es el puto amo.....quin maquina
The only mistake with the video is that the title limits Maurice to being only Canada's King of the Banjo when in reality he is King of the Banjo, period.
He killed it!!! Stone dead!
the speed and consistency of his chord picking is ridiculous...
.. that's great that he's your dad's best friend, he's my uncle:)
Sacre Bleu! Mon Doo!
Tenor banjo tunin-C G B A
Maurice was the REAl star of the Tommy Hunter show.There must be lots more videos of him in the TV archives.How do we get them out there?
Wa wa te le dis!

Sorry from Edmundston NB
@@robertleclerc2826 Du Bagose !
@maryhad1lamb
haha he's my uncle! (:
segaaa
He's a real banjo player not the crap we have today. Old school rules.
Is that plectrum or tenor banjo?
@vincenz55 His skill seems better although I can't help but prefer maurice's comfortable vibe and melodies.
nice reference, man. would not have discovered lou calabrese without you :)
@FrickaKMD The Devil Makes Three
I thought i had heard "seeeeeeega" in the very begining of the video...
im pretty sure he played american made banjo's
Give me tabs please :O
God's reply:
"Surely you jest. Only Beiber and Gaga? You could give me Beiber, Kroeger, Dione, Lavigne, and Twain, and that STILL wouldn't add up."
Good player. But i like the 5-string much more. And the picking instead of just hitting the strings. But man this guy is fast.
People to check out: Raymond Fairchild and Earl Scruggs.
It's not fair to compare Maurice and Earl; Maurice was a four string plectrum/tenor picker, Earl played a five string which is tuned and played differently.
That said, I agree, fair or not, that a master four string picker puts the best of the bluegrass boys to shame.
Ukulele comes pretty close, though. :]
Need 1000 Bibers and Gagas and it come true
This was the only way to play the banjo (and a great one) until Earl came along and revolutionized everything. This still sounds great, too.
Hi Mary, there are many styles preceding the tenor banjo. Clawhammer, two finger and three finger picking styles. There are some great RUclips videos showing the history of the banjo, right back to it's origins of a gut string and goat skin head.

Maurice is one of my all time greats though, on a recording he can really make his banjo sound like he's sometimes finger picking and at others a smooth plectrum multi string tremolo. It's sad there's not more video of his talent on RUclips. I've nearly worn out his golden greats album over the years. He was one of the reasons I started playing nearly 40 years ago...👍
Oups !! It's correct, sorry
en Français : manquer une occasion de se taire
what's annoying? having to read stupid comments about good content?
By the way - This guy is chord based and Earl Scruggs, Don Reno, Raymond Fairchild and the bluegrass guys are note based players. Can't compare them - but personally I like the bluegrass musicians much better. This style of playing gets boring after awhile.
Choice smi|es ~**
ohh yea! this guys hauls ass!
Dear God,
We will give you Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga in exchange for Maurice Boyler.
Thank you.
Lady gaga Bradley cooper good tune 👌
@gbmargie maurice is irreplaceable :,(
That's rediculous... he is amazing!
