In this particular video, Marcus plays the popular Christian hymn “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” on the banjo, clad in overalls and a baseball cap.

The song was first written in 1907 by Ada R. Habershon and Charles H. Gabriel and reintroduced to the world in 1935 when the Carter Family released their version, titled “Can The Circle Be Unbroken.” The song has been recorded by many other singers, who have all put their own spin to the classic tune.
