The world is so much poorer now that Dave has left us. I thank God Almighty for allowing Dave to grace our presence for the time allotted him; his mastery and showmanship of the five-string banjo was nothing short of joy for the eyes and ears. May your soul now rest in peace.
Damn it where did these tears come from? I literally only now found this guys page by accident. Only to then google and find out he's gone. Truly an amazing artist and I simply wished he had more love on his channel.

Finding a gem of a video like this on RU-vid makes all the junk I've sat through worthwhile. Great musicianship along with great spontaneous choreography ... what's not to like. RIP Dave.
Blimey ! This is one VERY enjoyable video ! You play a mean banjo Dave, the song is stirring and those gals are a couple o' cuties ! What's not to love ? Well done, sir ! Kudos ! THANX for sharing ! CHEERS, mate ! :-)
Heard this on classic fm the other day and it always reminds me of the proms ( SPITFIRE PROMS) so that brings me to youtube and onto your vid. Great job Dave and great job to the dancers too. :-) ps i would have put a pound in the box.
