Possibly, maybe he was here under a different account. Were you @CalebEllis?
The humor thread (formerly Sunday funny)
My bad. Thatâs a different Caleb, Kaleb (@banjoboyk)! Check it out!
The Canary Series - General chit chat - Forum - Banjo Ben Clark
But welcome to the forum, @CalebEllis!
Thanks!
Yep this is my first day on the forum haha
Welcome @CalebEllis. I really enjoyed your entry for the Auld Lang Syne contest back around New Years.
Thanks!
I loved doing that with my brother Ben!
I also really enjoyed your familyâs entry! That was awesome!
I thought for sure after watching it that yâall would win right up there on top of @Mason_Croneđ
Haha thanks! We watch it back now and think that the music is pretty good, but the humor is SO awkward. We did it at literally 11pm New Yearâs Eve and the humor clip was all Take 1. We just wanted to make Banjo Ben laugh but itâs just so ridiculously silly - and has the most views of any video on our band channel. It was fun though. We didnât get that many votes because we didnât go around asking every person in the world weâd ever contacted to enter every email address theyâd ever had, as I imagine some people probably did. Not like we needed the prize instruments anyway so it didnât matter. It was just fun to be a part of Benâs contest!
âAuld Lang Syne!! You know that song right??â
âjingle bells jingle bellsâ
Stop it. That isnât even the most awkward part.
We were all hit by a wave of horror when Jamie Harper, fiddle player with Sideline, walked up to us after the awards show at SPBGMA and said, âI was thinking I recognized you guys! I saw your Banjo Ben Auld Lang Syne video.â
Hey, nothing to be ashamed of.
I personally felt very honored when some drunk dude under a tent at Galax was like âHayy! You make those funny bluegrass videos on YouTube?â
No I still like it, itâs just that I look so mean barging in the room shoving everyoneâs phones from them⌠and why are they all just standing around texting in the first place?!⌠and our dad doesnât know what to call a guitar so he says âtake this flat top box thing or whatever itâs calledâ - itâs definitely hilarious!
At least you donât have people yelling BUM BUDDA DUMMMM at you across Wal-Mart.
I suppose you know about making embarrassing videos.
Lol thatâs great!
I knew I wasnât gonna win, I was surprised I made finals. Mine wasnât very creative haha. I agree, my favorite was Headin Homeâs.
You should wear a GoPro at all times and then make a compilation of every time that happens.
Ouch.
Yeah, I think that was a big part of it. I was surprised, the Cotton Pickinâ Kids couldâve EASILY won if they wouldâve shared it on their YouTube community page, but they didnât. I got like 80 votes, which was pretty much all friends and relatives I think
So at our churchâs contemporary service this weekend we sang the song âDrenched in Loveâ which incorporated the traditional gospel song âPower in the Bloodâ. Thanks to this forum thread every time the song referenced âpower, power, wonder working powerâ my mind opened to this memory.
I actually ran across that just the other day, canât remember where
