Great Video... we're planning a trip to come over that way to see the historical locations of Matewan massacre and the battle of Blair Mountain. once again great vid from your friends over the moutains in southwest Virginia God Bless
I love Matewan.. didnt know you were from there. That is great... I am a born and raised west virginian. Been here all my life.. This is surely God's contry. This is surely a good place to learn some WV History. You told things here that even I didn't know. Thank you for posting CountyBoy Yes!!! God bless!!!
The train adds a cool feeling to this video. I am a Northerner, and hearing the history and the accent makes me want to visit. The speaker is a natural story teller. Great Video!
Hey there Tommy, I really enjoyed the videos you posted. Checked out quite a few of them , but not all of them as there are so many. Really liked your bluegrass segment and the dobro work on Great Speckled Bird, it was so enjoyable to listen to. It reminded me of years ago when we use to sit in our old homeplace growing up and playing those old tunes.
Matewan sure has changed since I was a kid. I get there whenever possible. Still got kin in north Matewan & Hatfield Bottom. I was born in Williamson, & proud to call myself a mountaineer. :)
Also your Matewan tour videos are so interesting. Maybe someday when we get to that part of the country you could be our tour guide..LOL Thanks for posting. In fact we will be in Nashville in Feb. , to attend and compete at SPGMA 2009. Take care and Merry Christmas Allan
