As you can see , we decided to make it hard on ourselves, and we chose to play three songs in three different keys. 如你所見,我們想給自己出個難題, 所以選擇 彈三首不同音調的曲子。
As you can see:正如你所看到的;你是知道的;
Yeah. I'm also going to explain, a lot of people want to know where we got the name Sleepy Man Banjo Boys from. 是的。我也要解釋一下,許多人很好奇 我們為何取名「沉睡的班卓男孩」。
Sleepy:adj.困倦的;瞌睡的;安静的;
So it started when Jonny was little, and he first started the banjo, he would play on his back with his eyes closed, and we'd say it looked like he was sleeping. 這要追溯到強尼小時候, 他剛開始練班卓琴時會躺著彈 並且閉上眼睛, 我們說看起來好像他在睡覺。
So you can probably piece the rest together. 其他的你們就自己琢磨吧。
TM: We can't really figure out the reason for this. 湯米米松:我們也不清楚是什麽原因,
It might have been that it weighs about a million pounds. 可能是因為琴太重了。
