Love all of you. God bless you.

lovely tune and wow what a location! Great work.

This young woman's incredible talent is heartwarming and uplifting! Hollace...you play traditional bluegrass fiddle...classical music on the piano (amazing church performances), two of the most difficult instruments to learn... 6th place Adult Bluegrass Fiddle, 5th place Youth Mandolin at the Galax Old Fiddler's convention...(congratulations) Your skill level is incredible and it sounds like you really enjoyed dancing and playing! When did you start liking music? When did you start having your superpowers? When did the legend of HOLLACE OAKES begin...? :D

As a teacher I can tell you that very few of my Year 9 students can write at your level. Here is the marking rubric we use here and you've pretty much aced everything 👍. For extra merit you could relate a personal experience/reaction/anecdote along with the re-telling, maybe a humorous aside. The markers are always looking for something special.

Fast forward a few years and see these two lovely young ladies winning Grammies!🎻🪕📀🔥❤

That's an awesome essay. You're getting a really good education. Here's another suggestion for a fun song, with room for instrumental parts: Istanbul Not Constantinople, by They Might Be Giants. Here's a fun cover of the song, put together by Anne Reburn: kzbin.info?search_query=anne+reburn+istanbul+

I can't believe I'm first to comment. . . These children and youths are good dancers! I recognize Hollace, Margo, and Nuni, so pretty in her beige beret--to the others also big thanks. When you go heel to toe, heel to toe it wigs me. Praises and joy to all! Thanks for including your lovely essay Hollace--you are an essential part of a truly wonderful community. Nailed the tune's ending, too.❤

Cool

😊 Great essay Hollace, and just as I imagined the vibe in the Store! With all that candy I bet the Floyd dentist is kept busy 😁.

Maravilloso!! Se me dibujó una sonrisa en la cara : )

That's a lovely essay you've written Hollace, what fine people you are over there in Virginia , stay happy, you deserve it. Regards and respect from England.

IExcellent. was impressed by your performance. I`m happy toshare this video. Best regard from Japan. 🎶M countryboy🎸

Beautifully played, amazing talent, Andrew Lloyd Webber would be very impressed I am sure. Not just traditional fiddle music , obvious gift with the piano too.

Excellent!!

Another "oldie" showed up in my feed, and it's FIRE, as usual. I hope you watch some of your older videos sometimes. They are certain evidence of your inherent talent and the hard work you put into your music.😊

Great tune, slightly different variations to what I learnt on my squeeze box in England, I will try it.

I was impressed by your performance. I`m happy to share this video. I hope you have a good day. From Japan. 🎶M countryboy🎸

..very good 💥👍

Wow! That’s some powerful fiddlin’ by you two ladies. One solos while the other accompanies, switching off twice, then playing the last section together. A good solid rhythm guitar holds it all together while the fiddles soar. Beautifully arranged and performed! ❤👏

Thanks Hollace for showing us the whole sesh 👍.

sounds great!

The short version is wonderful, this is just outstanding, thank you Hollace.

Y'all did an awesome job!

Wow, that is a beautiful, moody piece. Wonderful performance Hollace.

Bravissimo Hollace ! High Point Toccata... is it by Robert Vandall? isn't it?

Wow Holace! You are so talented with that violin! Congratulations on winning at the Galax Convention...! I really like this Bluegrass tune...! And the Banjo girl... who is she? Marg...Margaret? haha...God bless you both!

Your brilliance outshines the toccata's, Hollace!❤

Thank you Hollace, so good!❤

"Sailing, take me away to where I've always heard it could be. . ." Hollace!❤

Congratulations

Super !Hi from France !

Y'all, that is FIRE, and I have wept from the pure joy of it! Hollace, folk like you, Carley, Margo and Ipi are real treasures. Please get in touch with Phoebe Sanders, who is out on the west coast (if you don't already know her), she is carrying on the Old Time tradition via clawhammer, and I will recommend all of y'all to her equally as enthusiastically! The talent that is coming from the Floyd Store epicenter is earthshaking, and y'all are the seismic activity within it!

👏

Clearly a very talented group of ladies, you all looked to be enjoying making music and the audience sounded like they loved it as well. Best wishes from the Uk ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧.
