Thanks Andries. Yeah, I only did one verse to show the sound and keep the vid below 5 min.since we have short attention spans around here! I'm thinking about doing a version of this song using the gourd banjo and gourd fiddle together. I need practice on my vid editing anyway.

Thanks Wade. I haven't had any luck growing any large enough gourds so I get them wherever I can find them.

Thanks Pick.

I thoroughly enjoyed all three of these vids! Thanks for sharing. My parents planted some "giant" gourds last season, but unfortunately, all the plants rotted before getting any off the vine. I may have to try growing some again, or start making friends with some local farmers.
