I could sit and listen to these folks talk and sing all day long. They deserve respect as good hard working people who wanted for nothing. I have always felt I was born too late because I feel like I could have learned life lessons from them. I would love to be able to play music with them all. Wonderful idea from Mr.Bascomb to do this work and it certainly wasn't for money. Great documentary and very good narrator, Bravo ! 👏

Im a 41 year old traditional appalachian musician myself from Confluence, KY, no formal training but trained anyhow by my now 91 year old grandma, but well i know about 1,000 songs by heart so i must say this is your best video i have ever watched, it made me cry and i aint sure why

I'm also from Long Island (Nice Jewish Boy) always fascinated with Americana. I made my parents send me to camp near Hendersonville in 1974. I was the only kid there from up north. I loved it. They didn't get my accent. It was right before cable TV. I heard music I never heard before, and ate food I never heard of. I also heard stories and experienced a culture that was previously unknown to me.

What an absolute treasure this is...!! And so are you, Mr. David Hoffman, for having the idea so many years ago to start filming these wonderful people and the music that flows in their veins. Yes, I love the purer forms of music...real people playing real instruments...singing with real voices...and dancing to the real music....real talent. Here in North Central Arkansas, we also have a love of the "old time" folk music and there are events throughout the year that draw lots of musicians of all kinds. One town in particular, Mountain View, is known for having the biggest events, but many other towns also have events that draw a lot of "folk" talent. I think that music ( 'real' music...like this music, and not the garbage that permeates the airwaves ), is a spiritual thing...a universal language...coming from the real 'Heart & Soul' of a person. Thanks you, David Hoffman, for filming this treasure and bringing it to us...!!

Thank you so much for your client and beautifully articulated comment. I feel just as you describe and felt honored to be accepted by these folks and allowed to record the music and their speech and their gloriously respectful treatment of one another. This morning I am remembering how young and old treated each other with respect. The old folks welcomed the young ones. The young ones honored the old folks. All based on music and dance and culture.

Mr Hoffman, thanks so much for this video. Don't know how I've missed this one but am glad I found it. Ancestors on my moms side came in here (Blue Ridge Mountains) before the revolutionary war, hung Tories, fought at Kings mountain and every war since, my dad's side soon after. What always amazed me though was how honest and humble they were in daily life. Good people that weren't aggressive at all until you pushed them. Growing up I heard words that aren't used anymore and am finding it tough to find people who also heard those words. I was embarrassed by it in young adulthood but that changed to being very proud. Im north of the area you videoed in but it was all the same. I know of some people in North Carolina and Virginia who can take you back somewhat to this time. Also, if you're interested in why Bristol Tn ISN'T the birthplace of country music message me and I'll explain. Potential to be a big story. Thanks for the video, I loved it.

Right he was, good judgement! Cheers Pal! (but with moderation... ;-)) BTW: The state generally is not hostile to whiskey, only what they want is that you deposit a demand for a licence first and that you declare the yearly amount of gallons and pay your taxes on that punctually. What they are concerned about is not the whiskey for itself, it's that they want their part of the gains in form of taxes, that's the whole mistery behind, for the state (doesn't really make a difference if it is KY, TN, NC, WV, or so, you can take whatever state you want, it's only about paying the due taxes) it's all about money... ;-)

I agree with that last form of dancing being a bastardization. Form can be useful for building up your dancing vocabulary, but what I saw was structured beyond the point of there being any of the dancers' interpretation of the music flowing through their bodies. No creativity, no soul; only dancing by the numbers.
