It's a fantastic version of a wonderful song, but we should talk as well about the singer. You have such a wonderful voice, and the facial expressions as you play adds so much to the story the song tells. Also, respectfully, you're gorgeous with a great fashion sense, and the coordination to play, sing, and tap the foot all at once!? Mad respect for the practice you've clearly put into your music. If there's a perfect youtube video this is it
Great job, Rosie! Nothing else sounds like that period to me. It reminds me of the old 78s my parents used to play on the "crank phonograph" as my mother called it.
Thank you! Totally agree on the uniqueness of this era, not for everyone but I'm a big fan. I learned this tune from one of those crank phonograph 78s haha. Sweet anecdote.
Looking at one of your replies has me wondering, do you have a good source for 78s near you? Best I can do in my area is just a Goodwill record book once in a blue moon. Those mostly cut off in the forties as the earliest though.
From time to time I meet up with a 78 record club, but mostly antique shops and I often ask record shops if they got any in the back. Also if people have some stored away somewhere lol. Sometimes thrifts have good stuff but generally not often in my experience. I think a lot of it depends on area too, like it's easier for me to find 20s/30s hillbilly records but I think selection definitely differs based on where you are. Also I often give antique shops/record stores my number in case they get any 78s 😅
@@roughhouserosie see, even most of my local antique shops get picked away at too fast for me to find anything outside of Herb Alpert LPs. Must live too close to the city, haha. Hadn't even considered giving them my number though, but I'm already broke most of the time, so who knows where I'd be if I got into the habit of finding interesting records on the regular 😂
@@roughhouserosie true enough, guess I just need to spend more time digging. i just don't go searching as much as I'd like to in general, i suppose lol. appreciate the pointers and the fancy picking and singing!
I do love the banjo revival we've experienced over the past 20 -ish years. Clean picking, folk singing, excellent work!
Haha it was never out of style on my end but it's cool it's having a moment recently, thank you!
I was laughing when I realized what this was getting at! Great stuff lady
Beautiful work, and you look very pretty too!!!❤

What a fun song, and your delivery is beautiful. 🤗
A national treasure
It's stuck in my head.
I misread this as waltzing Matilda but was pleasantly surprised by how nice this song is!
So lovely. This sounds strait out of Appalachia to me.
Tin Pan Alley to me.

Such a charming interpretation of a classic vintage song. Brava!
Intricate work with the right hand. Well done.
Thanks Jim!
Oh god she is so sweet❤
Aw, that is sweet!
Thanks! I had a feeling you'd be into this one if you heard it haha.
@@roughhouserosie it's right up my street!
Beautiful song!
Cool voice! Pure Americana
Thanks!
Very good work, makes me think about "A hole in the bucket"
I'm taken by you I'm your fan now 🥰
so charming!
Great track :) just started learning songs on banjo and its really satisfying 😊. I hope ill be able to play as clean as you one day! 🎉
Thank you, awesome to hear! I'm still working on clean pickin' too haha
Great fun song well performed
Peaches and creamy. Pretty much a lullaby.
Thank you!
Beautiful as usual
A talented, and simply amazing ladygirl😊
Nice playing. ...looks like a Mortal Kombat character!
Thanks! Also that's a new one haha
Where'd you learn this one? I've never heard anyone sing this tune. You've got it sounding great!
Thanks! I picked up a Billy Murray 78 of it from 1906 and then later the 1928 Chris Bouchillon record which I took most my inspiration from.
🤘

Lol most the time I don't pay much at all. People mostly try to get rid of them, it's a cheap hobby at least haha

@mgrogian it's definitely a hunt! Good luck, and thank you!
“Willie” (spelling?) also goes by the name John Thomas. Nod nod. Wink wink. This song sounds pretty close to classical banjo. Thanks! 🙂😎
Yep, luckily it's nothing of that sort in this tune lol. Thanks, been working on my classical banjo!
