The Lord has blessed everyone with different skills, talents and interests. This scattering and dispersing of abilities among individuals help keep life interesting and fresh. Life would get seriously tedious and boring quickly if everyone had the same likes, dislikes and hobbies.
One group of young people blessed with an abundance of musical talent is the Cotton Pickin Kids. In one of the latest videos posted to their YouTube channel, the children take to the stage for a performance of “Slemish Mountain.”
Fans of bluegrass and instrumentals will be pleased as the kids play the catchy and toe-tapping tune. The video begins with one man introducing the kids to the audience and away the kids go as they strum on and pluck their instruments!
The kids play the violin, banjos and bass guitar with an expert level of skill and precision, never missing a beat throughout their nearly 3-minute performance!
God has obviously blessed these children with the skill to make beautiful sounds that delight the ear!
Others commenting on the video also praised the young musicians for their outstanding performance.
“Fantastic guys, you just keep getting better and better!” one person wrote.
“Not just a kid’s band. Bonafide outstanding musicians! I’m from Mississippi but willing to give a big Roll Tide!” a second person commented.
“Excellent!!! Bravo! I really enjoyed that piece. Well played. Thank you All.,” a third person posted.
While the children’s skill level and performance are impressive, it’s even more so given the young age of the performers. How good will they be in 2 years, 5 years or even 10 years? It will be interesting to watch and see where and how far this group of talented young people go in their musical careers.
