What an unbelievable talent this man was. Even if you don't like this kind of music you can't help but admire D Ray's connection to self expression and creativity.
It’s so good. I love all kinds of music spanning rock, jazz, blues and even hip hop. D Rae was really a special person. I can see he had something inside of him that allowed him to go to a place that most people can’t go. Jesco has the gift as well. Love watching them both.
I'm here from watching the dancing outlaw,about his son,,Jesco White,,,and I heard/seen this performance on it,I can't seem to get it out my head, so back for more!
RIP Dunk. 7/1/2019 Played hundreds of hours of Bluegrass with Dunk at Pickin in the Park Logan State Park over the last 13 years. Have a hard time thinking it will be the same at all without him there. His root-authentic banjo style has been a staple in Logan for decades - since the start. RIP Dunk - you will be very very missed. Pick one out with Bill up there today.
I love D. Ray. This is actually my favourite rendition of "Get Along Home Cindy". There are so many of them, but something about his picking on the 'jo, and D Ray singing and dancing.. fucking incredible.
+thomas dupont hahaha!,don't you believe it!, there's a big bluegrass following over here,once you learn how to make a banjer ring,you'll always be in a happy place,believe it!!
what? people in England love our hillbilly stuff? I'm from the Smokys, from the same town Dolly Parton is from. why would you guys love our culture so much? that's weird to me.
@@cornpop1363 probably because we came from the British isles originally before we ended up in the hills of Appalachia....most of our old mountain songs came from England and Scotland. They are our ancient kin folk.
I'm highly impressed at how much of an all around musician D. Ray White was. Back then it was extremely hard to get noticed by the music industry but this man had the musician talent that it takes to make it big. I say this because its obvious tap dancing wasn't his only skill. He can also sing but most importantly he was entertainer. This man worked the audience, making them enjoy his show & his talent.
its like looking into a time capsule, these kind of people are rapidly leaving this world and they may already be gone. Its beautiful, but at the same time theres a sadness knowing that this kind of thing may never happen again.
I do too. The banjo is so skillful and magical and the tap steps of D Ray White himself, the legend of dancing mountain men, are amazingly good! God bless the Wild and Wonderful White family of West Virginia! Never wanna lose this video? Download it so you never lose it! Google: RU-vid downloader. All the best!
The reason it gives anyone goosebumps is because it’s real and pure. Both of them are playing with God given talent. They are naturals at what they do. No pyrotechnics, no backup dancers to obscure their weaknesses. They perform because they have to. They perform because they know that what they do, makes others happy and filled with joy. Which in turn brings the artist happy. There are no middle men. Sorry if I am rambling.
The uptempo version of Cindy with the flawless banjo playing by the gentleman in the chair and Donald Ray White just a-tearing up some high school gym floor with his magic feet and magic shoes in the middle of Appalachia, just having crawled out of a hollar in Boone County, I tell you, it tickles this Canadian just right! Regards to the White family and all involved in the lives of the Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia! RIP D. Ray White
American mountain dancing looks like a heavy metal moshpit compared with European dancing styles. Love the way he bends low and throws his head around like a Rockabilly rebel.

Peregrine White was the first child born to the Pilgrims in the New World. His parents, William and Susanna White boarded the Mayflower with their son Resolved. ? Susanna gave birth to Peregrine on November 20, 1620, while the Mayflower was anchored in Provincetown Harbor. Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth, Massachusetts owns and exhibits the cradle of Peregrine White. ? William White died the first winter. Susanna White married fellow Mayflower passenger, Edward Winslow. In 1636, the family moved to the new settlement of Marshfield. ? Peregrine married Sarah Bassett in 1648. He built the Marshfield homestead just before his marriage, and lived there until his death in 1704. Six generations of Whites lived in the homestead. ? The Peregrine White Homestead is located at the former mouth of the river overlooking the Rexhame Dunes.
In the 1940 & 50 as a youngster I would go to the beer joints with my dad. Mr. White carried 2ft x 2ft board . He would dance for the patrons . Don't how much money he made. Got lot of free beer
