CUTTING A SHINE (more Mountain Talk - full bonus) 

Rogee that 💯💯🔥

Love the Appalachian people best people ever

Hahaha son you don't drink 180 proof shine. 🤣

You don't know shit from apple butter

@@jbaker4900Apple butty teks from sunrise to sunset to mek and shit is what I do after I ait 5 gallons of it on some hot biskits. Do I know duh diffrents b'twixt duh two J baker? Applebutter takes about 12 hours make and bullshit never ceases as long as the world goes round. So many people on all the different social media,take stuff to the sleeve just have something to blart about in anger without a real cause to be angry.Does not the Bible tells us not be angry at neighbors without having a cause to be,otherwise it is to be.

@@treybarrier5574 that stuff must be distilled 10 times over to get that much water content out of it. 180 proof would be around 95 to 98 percent alcohol that's possible. 190 proof Everclear makes good paint and varnish stripper. Avg. untaxed home distilled is about in all reality 75 to 90 proof. Being most people jar it up after only one run through the still. I trust you make it yourself out of non-gmo corn and use clean sweet spring or branch water and not sink water or store bought. You have a good mash made from good selected yellow corn to get that sweet mellow corn taste with a slow burn. All whisky has a burn to it going down the gullet into the flew.

Agreed. My dad wanted us to have more opportunities as well. It is a hard life.

Appalachians are a marvelous culture and people but they fall prey to the same types of depression, addiction and loss of self that many other groups do. I love WV(I'm a Marylander)but there exists the same crisis there and everywhere.

I'm from Kentucky, bout 50 miles from the Cumberland gap. I live at the end of a dead end road that leads up in the mountain. All the old heads that are like this are passing away. I miss them.

why is it odd?? its not odd ....its just the way they are or lived / talked.....they look like really nice people.

​@@trustworthydan shame... Where I'm at, the kids ain't forgotten a thing. If anything they're more enthusiastic than the old timers. I mean hell, Billy Strings has got to be the most well-respected musician in the world right now

you mean young'uns

Near the Appalachian Trail in Maine, there are some families that are talking in a similar manner!!

IT'S GOOD TO TOUCH THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME, PLAYING THE DAY LIGHTS OUT OF THAT BANGO. YOU GO FOR IT.

Much respect, Mr. Mark!

I'm A Kentucky boy as well...I live right across the road from Bill Monroes' birth place in Rosine ...I'm 39 yrs old...My Grandmas sister was married to Bills brother and my Dad was born in Bills brothers cabin...I love these hills and I love our music and our slang/speech...I'd not want to be any where else in the world...Bless'ya Mark

Hi Mark, I am writing a paper on hillbilly and mountian culture and how the sterotypes that most percieve, would you be willing to be a part of a small interview? Ive done a few with other folks from kentucky but Im needing a few others to really get a picture of the culture from people within it. Thanks Dave

@Mark Ferguson, how many older siblings did you have? My dad was born in 1908 and he was 48 when I was born. I had 10 half brothers and sisters (from dad's first marriage) and five whole, younger brothers and sisters (from his and mom's marriage); sixteen of us total. I was an aunt (half aunt) before I was born and a half great-aunt at the age of 17. My dad lived to be 80 years "young". He worked on the L&N railroad for 42 years (30 or so of those years as a "Section Foreman") and was awarded many medals and commendations for his outstanding work for the L&N. My mom was the daughter of a Baptist preacher and one of the finest women who ever lived. I miss them both so much, but I treasure the memories and the values and life lessons that they taught me. My dad was also born in Kentucky; a few miles north of the the Tennessee state line, near Jellico, TN.

@@C.O.G. Not a very large family (that I know of!). One older half-brother, one older sister, one younger sister. But then, my parents married only a few years before I was born. They raised me right and I miss them too even though my father raised me with a razor strop. (I earned it fair and square though.)

Fox Fire book series.

TIFFANY McALLISTER...Amen and God bless you and all the REAL folks! 🤗🤗😃😃🌹🌹♥️♥️

@@stephenfox3236 That's so funny you said that I was trying to plan a trip to go to their homestead and my mother used to have a wealth of those books we can't find them though. Thank you Stephen!!!

I wish I'd've learned more from from my dad's family in West Virginia. So much knowledge lost... I did learn Aunt Gladys' apple butter secret, though.

@@dindixie do share. Aunt Gladys says it's better give than receive!

Can you imagine the good music in heaven? Blows my mind.

Indeed. All of the Queen family are great musicians. I hadn't realized Henry had passed. Rip.

I was just wondering about him. Thanks for taking the time to find out, and let people know

Ahhh. 😥

Is this some of my family life .Billy Brumley.

Jersey? Son you must of bumped your head.

And you might have too cause he will plum talk your ear off. Mightvas well set a spell. Cause you ain't going no where soon.

Haha yup

😂😂😂

There are still people like this, the media demonizes them for not having an education and being backwards. They're phasing out my heritage because of the negative traits, no one gets to see the good.

Oh be quiet. There's people all around you living poor lives. Stop it. Sure funny how everybody wants to bless these folks with love when for far more than a hundred years they were shunned and ostracized as ignorant and backwoods. Their kids died of preventable illnesses bc of malnutrition. Look around. There's poor as dirt people living simple lives all around us.

Its so cool how they have preserved their heritage and don't even know it..

@@codyleslie478 lol they know. they're country not stupid

Not just Irish and Scottish but also the Cherokee believe in "little people". Lot of Native blood in the mountains..

pride is a good thing my man. Peace to all .

I’m right there with you! ❤️

Same!!! WV, Melungeon/ScotsIrish mix 🥰👏🏼

Me too part Cherokee. Scotts Irish. ,,

@@duaneholcomb8408 me three

Cherokee county girl here! Scot-Irish and Cherokee decent and been in these mountains for generations.

Thank you, GOD bless you too

My great grandfather came from Scotland at age 3 and lived in the Appalachian area, and used the same figures of speech. Most came from Ireland and Scotland

@@caroldenise9569 I'm Scottish. We still say a "Poke" of sweeties/biscuits etc..

Original speed metal

My Gramma loved heehaw too, especially when Minnie pearl was on

Me too!!

Belle it's not guitar in them thar hills it's Geetar,😁

They don't want recognition .....They are a proud folk.

@@veyger1970 I think they do, specially in a country that creates stereotypes of them, sees them as weirdos with no education and even in politics use them to criticize the other side (leftist specially, the same who claim to go against discrimination and cry for everything then talk about the ´´white trash´´ that supported Trump)

@@chilenskbjorn8737 To be fair, we Mountain folk don't lose a wink of sleep worrying about what others think about us. In a way,we don't exist with everyone else, it's our own world here.

Thank you so much for the kind words sir. I am a proud “Hillbilly”

I live in Cruso, right down the road from there

Me too used to live in swain now in Alabama. But I,miss home,,,,

I'm from Wilkes country foothills blue ridge in Ohio now and do miss home

Same here, and I was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mtns. of Northwestern NC.....

@@surgeongeneralsmokes half of my family is from Asheville but it was the other half that was from eastern Ky. that used that term in my family.

@@bkjustice9390 Me and mine use it that way here in KY . Best banjo and guitar picking I've heard ever heard, by the way.

I don't want fop god dammit, I'm a dapper Dan man!

Yes, that was Jim Tom & Popcorn Sutton

Yeah at least one of them is from that area in this video.

We play the mountain dulcimer too.

@@mistermisanthrope4106 ...and ?

@@jimtruscott5670 What do you mean "and?", there's a lot of different instruments that are popular here. The dulcimer & banjo are amongst the traditional instruments.

Christian folks think it's a sin to work on a Sunday. Sunday is supposed to be set aside for worship and fellowship. Many say that something bad will happen to you, like getting injured, or your work being cursed, or the devil doing something to you. The guy building the fence was wryly admitting to also working on Sunday.
