Earl Scruggs "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" with JD Crowe Bill Emerson Sonny Osborne and More 

There's a show featuring the music of Scruggs @ South Carroll High School this Saturday, through the Carroll Arts Center. 😊

Oh yeah that’s where us Apalatchen found out the banjo clawhamer picking. Men building railroads picking songs from their own stories of Working Hard for singing The Blues is the only thing that you do to make your soul feel better. Love the way music is all connected to all of us. That’s the Human Race I am proud to be apart

Black Men working building the Rail Road is where us Hillbilly first heard the Banjo. Made from possum hide. Blue grass is in the heart of the men and woman picking & singing to make others feel better to survive that’s all. I just wish that more people would be as one race. Human Race Sir 3 cords and the Truth is SOUL MUSIC

@@ChrisRichardson-jp3ul ,😊

My parents live in West Jefferson, NC. It's beautiful up there.

@@dwellspompano I was born in Jefferson. We lived in Warrensville until I was 8 years old. We moved to the Hickory area. My family comes from there and some still live there.

Amen sister Heaven is better than the Hell we are living in

We create all our own Reality. This is defined by the "Universal Law of Attraction" and it is Absolute. This is what Yeshua/Jesus was teaching, the foundation of his teachings. Release the Fear Based Ideologies that are so Fostered by Media's and Embrace the Truths, the Positive. When we Ask, it is Given. No 2nd request 8s needed. We merely must Know, the Higher Octave of Believe, and when we Know/Believe, we Receive "That's the Mustard Seed"! Quantum Physics Science is Validating what was/is deemed "myth". We must Awaken to our Real Power, that given for Our Creating of the Positive, the Desires, the Dreams. ... and do so Knowing "* am worthy", for we all are extensions of God's Source Energy - ie: Our Souls, and that is what our Eternal is, only the Vessel expires. Don't relay on the opinions of others, go to the Resources and gather your own understanding. (Fear, Judging, Prejudices, Hate, Anger ... all attract like Energies, negative experiences.) Love, Joy, Laughter, Optimism, Knowing, Harmony, Higher Mind Thoughts, all attract like Energies: Our Desires Focus on the Positive, the Desires. (Turn away from negative thoughts, fears, and Lackings.) It is Our Choice to "live in fears" or Break Through and emerge as Jesus Taught, being in Harmony, Creating Harmony, and Knowing far greater our true self, Higher Self, our Soul self, the You in You. Be in Your Positive ... Peace be with You Always ...

Bless your ❤

Check out billy strings !

@@KY.502 I have and you're right.....I forgot....there are some Gems currently making new music....maybe you know Coltor Wall?

@@DiamondCutter423 also, lost dog street band, The Dead South, Whiskey Myers there is some true gems out there but your not going to find them on any top 20s

Look around further and you will find such as Noam Pikelny, Mike Munford, Catherine Bowness, Tony Trischka, Jens Kruger, Ryan Cavanaugh, and of course, Bela Fleck (just for starters). The musicians in this video helped lay the foundations for the large crop of brilliantly talented musicians playing bluegrass today; you just have to look for them (on RU-vid, or Google, or Facebook), since they won't show up on AM radio or CMT.

Amen to that brother@@RickRiman

Amen never be another

PADDLE FASTER I HEAR BANJO MUSIC

Oh yeah Alabama is known for the banjo don't you know...

Growing up in the D.C. suburbs during the '70's I was exposed to a lot of country music by my dad but I didn't really get it until I saw the Seldom Scene at High Point High in 1979. After that, I was hooked. I consider myself blessed to have been here, in D.C., at that time. WAMU, The Seldom Scene, The Country Gentlemen, The Johnson Mountain Boys and of course Country Current. My buddy's dad was good friends with Eddie Adcock and he knew and introduced me to many of these guys. I remember Bill Emerson as really tall and a perfect gentleman. I still remember the free concerts at the Capitol. So sad when we lost him. The finale of a very special era in local bluegrass music.

And I love my fellow Children of GOD. MAY BIG BOSS ,bless us all.

Our pleasure.

I love the sound of a banjo too! My husband doesn’t care for it but I love it. I just had a smile on my face throughout this whole video.

Fake information

@@user-xo4rx8ov5o Check it out yourself, or are you a MAGA? LOL!

@@user-xo4rx8ov5o You mean fake as in: Traitor Trump saying he lost the election is fake info? Like I said, look it up yourself. You can't believe most of what you hear on right wing nut propaganda radio.

which turnpike

There is no way you can drive the speed limit while listening to this song!

Thank you for the kind words. I've got a better break now, and you have inspired me to go and practice it.

Rick's was excellent yes! As were all of them really. I know literally zero about the banjo but I also thought Eddie Hoyle had a nice bit of creativity in his take on it.

​@@RickRimanmany thanks for such great playing Rick, do you still have that Kristofferson hair and beard ?

@@leedobson My usual answer would be "No, I sold them on ebay long ago." Actually, both Kris and I have the same, shorter, and thoroughly white hair and beard today.

Came here to say the same thing!

Спасибо

This tune is 🔥

I promise you there’s guns in that crowd and on stage. Guns are just a part of life down here. Right, wrong or otherwise, that’s just how it is.

Im with ya! Italy born, grew up in Ozone Park, here for the Bluegrass and the wonderful sounds of America :)
