    When the mainstream news shows me ugliness I come to youtube and watch an Appalachia gal strum her banjo and remind myself there are good things happening in the world no one is reporting on. Thanks Margo! Keep a pickin & shining this little light of mine!

    one thing common to her videos that I've enjoyed is that little smile at the end of tricky bits; a little outward leak of inner satisfaction... nice playing 👍

    This was STELLAR! Also, your genuine love for music radiates (and practically melts the camera lens). Professionals may call it "stage presence". When it is authentic, I call it HEART. God has given you a natural talent for music. Use it for good. Music is one of the proofs of the the existence of God and in the continuing work of His angels.

    There is something so special about the sound of a banjo... It is at the same time the sound of loneliness and the sound of friendship (or love)... It makes you think of a long road under the sun, in the middle of some beautiful american landscape, where you walk alone for a while, before meeting someone who gladly joins you and then walks by your side :) Anyway, I really needeed this vid today, so thank you Margo, for this moment of music and peace, and for your smile :)

Yet, my eagerness is quelled by an unexpected raw emotion driven by the sound of a banjo - with an energy that compels me to listen without questioning anything. I have so much to learn. Thank you for sharing.
