Hi, dear friends!!! If you read my post how I met real bluegrass band in my city, so you must know that I promised to post the video about it!

Please, at first read the story on BHO forum here - banjohangout.org/topic/249223

So now I can post the video about it, so you can see me and the girls from the bluegrass band! I played Foggy Mountain Breakdown, please forgive me if I played this tune again, but I was so excited, that I couldn't think and play, it seems like I was in USA on the real bluegrass concert! Thanks to Alex for helping me to carrie my banjo, thanks to my dad for camera, and thanks to the girls for friendship! Thanks to all, and to you, my friends!!! I wish it's not the last time when I heard live bluegrass music in the real life!!!

Terrific Janna!

Foggy Mountain Breakdown cannot be played too many times.

Hey Janna,

Thanks so much for sharing!! Really a touching and happy experience. I smiled the whole time I watched the video and am very very happy for both you and the members of Della Mae to have been fortunate enough to meet one another.

Best wishes,
Elliot

That was great Janna, thanks for posting. Was this your first time playing bluegrass with other musicians? I was really impressed with your playing - you kept your cool. I think the girls in Della Mae were really blown away - I bet it made their day to read your post!

Keep on pickin'

Janna,

Your playing was inspiring.  I can't imagine the courage you had to make contact with this group and then play with them so well.   I agreed with the comments at the end too.  Keep on pickin'

Awesome Janna! Thank you for posting....:)

Well done, Janna. I enjoyed watching the video and it pleases me to see that you were able to experience live bluegrass for the first time as well as have it captured in video recordings and photos.

Incidentally, your playing was fine. Now you will be able to join any bluegrass sessions or jams that you find if you travel in other countries; you just proved that you can do it.

Chris Muriel,

Janna...the new bluegrass star.
Absolutely wonderful when people from different places can play together and share their joy of music.
You are very good and just think how much better you will be a few years from now...a superstar!

Janna - Posted - 11/27/2012:  23:33:52

I just can't find the words to say how I feel reading your kind comments, dear friends!!! It's so inspiring for playing banjo and when I read it I start to believe that nothing is impossible in this world... Traveling around the world is my favorite thing!!! I never been traveled, only in my dreams)) But I hope that it would be possible someday!..  I'm so glad you liked my video and the story, it means a lot to me!
