Banjos and bagpipes…both too twangy and harsh for my ears. Does Mr. H play the piano? You should get a piano.
He learned piano as a young child, but until last year, he hadn’t played it in years. He thinks he’s terrible, but he’s really quite good. We don’t have room in our house for a piano, but my in-laws have one.

That is a GORGEOUS arrangement of that song. I can’t believe how good it sounds on the banjo!
Thank you, Jenny! I’ll tell Mr. Handsome you said that.

I can’t find the video of the Christmas songs. 🙁
Hi Nelda. It should be right under the paragraph of text in this post. Perhaps try a different device or browser?
Ellie
It doesn’t show if you have an ad block. You’ll need to disable that.
I have an ad blocker and the video does show without changing any settings. Laptop, not phone. I don’t see any ads, BTW.
Thank you! I found it and so glad I did! That is a beautiful arrangement. I enjoyed it very much!
Thanks, Nelda. Glad you were able to watch it.
Ellie
Enjoyed the arrangement. I love the banjo!
Thanks, Odie!
Thank you Ellie and your other half. That sounded pretty. For a Christmas concert my friend, my husband and I played this song. Our instructor taught children’s music classes but also encouraged the parents to join too. so O Come O Come Immanuel was the song she chose for us parents. My friend and I were on alto recorders and he was on autoharp. It sounded very pretty even though I we were all very nervous.
I’m sure it sounded beautiful! I think the autoharp is similar to the zither. I had a child-sized zither when I was young, and it was a lot of fun. Had a beautiful sound to it.

Ellie, do U guys love BlueGrass music??????
Yes, we do like bluegrass music. Mr. Handsome is great at playing it on banjo and guitar.
Ellie
Do U want to know something funny, I hate Country Music, but I am in love with Blue Grass music!!!!! Like, sometimes I even listen to it, on YouTube!!!! LOL!!!!
Haha, that’s funny. What artists/songs do you like?
Great job! I would think the banjo is a difficult instrument, so bravo!
Thanks, Melanie! You’re very right, the banjo is a difficult instrument. I am impressed every time my husband plays it. 🙂
