Mr. Handsome has been practicing his banjo! He came up with his own arrangement of the popular Christmas carol “O Come O Come Emmanuel,” for the sole purpose of sharing it with my blog readers. Our video is below.

Banjo Christmas Tunes
Banjos and bagpipes…both too twangy and harsh for my ears. Does Mr. H play the piano? You should get a piano.
He learned piano as a young child, but until last year, he hadn’t played it in years. He thinks he’s terrible, but he’s really quite good. We don’t have room in our house for a piano, but my in-laws have one.

That is a GORGEOUS arrangement of that song. I can’t believe how good it sounds on the banjo!
Thank you, Jenny! I’ll tell Mr. Handsome you said that.

I can’t find the video of the Christmas songs. 🙁
Hi Nelda. It should be right under the paragraph of text in this post. Perhaps try a different device or browser?

It doesn’t show if you have an ad block. You’ll need to disable that.
I have an ad blocker and the video does show without changing any settings. Laptop, not phone. I don’t see any ads, BTW.
Thank you! I found it and so glad I did! That is a beautiful arrangement. I enjoyed it very much!
Thanks, Nelda. Glad you were able to watch it.
Ellie
Enjoyed the arrangement. I love the banjo!
Thanks, Odie!
Thank you Ellie and your other half. That sounded pretty. For a Christmas concert my friend, my husband and I played this song. Our instructor taught children’s music classes but also encouraged the parents to join too. so O Come O Come Immanuel was the song she chose for us parents. My friend and I were on alto recorders and he was on autoharp. It sounded very pretty even though I we were all very nervous.
I’m sure it sounded beautiful! I think the autoharp is similar to the zither. I had a child-sized zither when I was young, and it was a lot of fun. Had a beautiful sound to it.

Ellie, do U guys love BlueGrass music??????
Yes, we do like bluegrass music. Mr. Handsome is great at playing it on banjo and guitar.
Ellie
Do U want to know something funny, I hate Country Music, but I am in love with Blue Grass music!!!!! Like, sometimes I even listen to it, on YouTube!!!! LOL!!!!
Haha, that’s funny. What artists/songs do you like?
Great job! I would think the banjo is a difficult instrument, so bravo!
Thanks, Melanie! You’re very right, the banjo is a difficult instrument. I am impressed every time my husband plays it. 🙂
