Big Rock Candy Mountain, clawhammer banjolele

I’ve always enjoyed this classic tune. Makes me want to hop a train and see the country. Of course that’s easy to say from my living room, and now that I think about it the song was about an escape FROM that lifestyle, haha.

This is the first time I’ve recorded myself playing and singing. I have the song memorized but it felt weird looking into the camera the whole time so it was more comfortable looking at the uke. Any tips on that would be great.

@firebladetim, that was absolutely amazing! Oh my, so magical. I thought your playing and singing was fantastic, very funny song, and I thought you did great being on camera especially for never having done it before really! That’s always so stressful and you did perfectly! Thank you so much for sharing! 😁

Love it! One of my favorites!

Thanks!

Watching it again, I think I could slow the tempo down a little and even it out, I think I rushed through it a bit due to nerves.
