Bill Monroe was taught by Arnold Schulz

Sam Bush, Tony Rice, Marc O'Connor, Douglas, and Fleck on the same stage is is mindblowing.

RIP. True hero😢

The guy looked like veal parmasian..... I don't even want to try to imagine the pain that he was in. I hurt just looking at him.

Probably need to do a part two where you talk about the more modern players/groups that are keeping the genre alive. Billy Strings is probably the biggest thing to happen to Bluegrass in decades. Bands like Greensky Blue Grass, String dusters, Trampled By Turtles, bela fleck and the flecktones, while maybe not embraced by the purests, are keeping the genre alive and bringing in new listeners. I'll admit if it wasn't for Trampled and Billy I wouldn't have ever really listened to bluegrass

Many inaccuracy in this. You should be ashamed and embarrassed.

Deon drown in 1994. Shaw died in 2005 trying to recover the body. You say that is " recently deceased "?

I don't think he quite understand how modern Bluegrass is. His description of the older forms of the music being the foundations of Bluegrass is like saying that a Ferrari is based on the Scythian chariot.

No mention of Billy Strings in the new generation? That’s disappointing.

The Greenbrier Boys??? The Country Gentlemen??? Not mentioned!!??

Sure the banjo came from Africa but you should see what they looked like before whyte peepol modernized them….

Has low country music contributed to blue grass music?

would you be so kind as to give me some information about the source of the third image? i am interested in finding out more about whether the viola da gamba was played in jigs and reels contexts. thanks

This is pure nonsense.

😊

isn't this in NC?

This is in part true. Yes, when he pulled Deon’s body from the mud, he originally believed the body to be bones and have a zero buoyancy, however the body had actually turned into a soap like substance. Only the hands were skeletal so when he pulled the body from the mud, he tried to put the body bag over the legs but the body started spinning, which got entangled into his torch and the lines. He tried to cut the lines, but being he was so deep underwater it was similar to if he were jogging on the surface. Deon’s head became detached in the process. While Dave was trying to cut the lines he started breathing more heavily which caused him to breathe in more carbons dioxide, ultimately causing him to pass out and drown.

First off, learn how to pronounce the word Appalachian... then...

No mention of the Dillards in popularizing bluegrass is crazy.

Schöner Anzug

Why is zero reference made to the asian/ middle eastern forefather’s of the banjo? The Chinese surely brought their very obvious banjo equivalents to America when building the railroads etc. What about Doc Watson who pretty much gave us flat picking of fiddle tunes on guitar which led to rock speed picking.

“Appalachian” has the same pronunciation of the third syllable as the word “latch.” I’ve lived here 81 years, and my professors at Appalachian State Teachers College (now Appalachian University) emphasized it at convocation and in my English and speech classes.

Actually, while strain played a part, from what I understand, Dave Shaw’s O2 apparatus became tangled with the equipment still on Deon Dreyer’s body, and his entire rebreathing apparatus was pulled apart on camera. You can see it in the documentary, “Dave Not Coming Back,” but it is a disturbing watch, so use care if you choose to watch it. Very sobering stuff. Dave did his best to make his and Deon Dreyer’s bodies as recoverable as possible, and they were both eventually recovered. Rest in peace to both Deon and Dave.

He got tangled on the line

Really nice presentation.

I am curious as to your source of the cello being used in traditional music in the 17-19 century. I was under the impression that the guitar did not become popular in USA until around 1900 when large number of South European immigrants arrived. (same as the Mandolin) It is odd that the scotch-iris brought their fiddles to America, but not their camps, bagpipes, flutes, recorders or pennywhistles.

God bless you both 🫡

Yeah, none of those newer bands even sound like bluegrass. It was just sad sounding "indie/folk" music.

In late 2018 mu dad started cleaning out his woodworking shop and id go sit out there with him and help and one time he played "My Oh My" by the punch brothers i had always thought of bluegrass as old people music my grandma liked Christian bluegrass but it never grabbed my attention like the punch brothers i forgot about them for awhile but in September we went to North Carolina and it made me remember them

Unfortunately your research was done by finding others notes on Bluegrass and theirs from someone else's.. You jumped ahead ...way ahead... proclaiming Sam Bush as introducing Jazz into Bluegrass. The reality is that was role belonged to Jethro Burns . He was actually the mandolin player who introduced Jazz to Bluegrass. Many years before Sam Bush .. Sam is considered the father of NewGrass .. and says he owed his way of picking to Jethro Burns .. In fact Jethro was considered the Best mandolin player who all mandolin players and other Bluegrass musicians looked up to , not just for his skill but for style . Josh Graves was key in making the Dobro a Bluegrass instrument and made the Dobro what it is . Jerry Douglas came later . But he is however considered the top Dobro player and added a new sound.. While Earl Scruggs was popular while he was with Monroe, he didn't get to the high point of popularity until the 60s. Ralph Stanley probably had more influence on the 3 finger roll because his band was very popular until Flatt and Scruggs went Hollywood. So I'd say their influences were prettymuch equal. Stanley had some unique licks that were a little hard to copy. Research is great, but actually living it , and watching it as it happens , well that's a little better . The earlier stuff was there as mentioned but there sure was a lot more too according to the research . The 80s had a good cross of bands that were a combination of traditional and jazzy licks . And at that time even Monroe's even changed a bit with a different kind of lonesome songs .. Bluegrass is a Great history that a person can really get into.

You are incorrect!! Dion had been at the bottom of Bushman’s Hole for 10 YEARS when Dave Shaw went down to collect his body. Dave had a dream showing where Dion’s body was. Many divers had looked for Dion, but couldn’t find him. Dave went to the bottom of the hole and had to let go of the safety line in order to look for the spot where he had seen Dion in his dream. And that is indeed where Dion was. But Dion’s body was partially buried in deep mud, and it was the effort it took to free him from the mud that caused Dave to go through his air faster than normal. He also was briefly tangled in all the ropes. They said everything Dave was having to do at the bottom of Bushman’s hole was equivalent to running as fast as possible up on dry ground. He should have just left the body in the hole in which he was already buried under water.

Omg

This is very sad 😢

Imagine being loved so much by someone they risk and lose their life to give you a proper burial and closure for his family❤❤❤ rest in peace Dave!!!

Im confused so did he over work the capability of the rebreather to filter C02? How did it stop producing from him over excerting? Do they have a finite cartridge/ filter type system?

Yeah I saw this on a show on tv I dont remember what it was called but it gave me the chills,rest in peace dave

He's dad was the last one left with his son,they pulled everyone else out to help him, it was to do with saving air or something like that. R.I.P John

Could you imagine being stuck in a cave like that, than a strong earthquake happens? That would be even worse.

NO BLOODY THANKS

Shouldn’t crawl in holes

I can’t believe he got away without being criminally liable.

😮

Putin blows

What happened to the Kursk? It sank.

Wow, sounds like every other armed service in the world, shame on all you bastards

That's crazy

It was the lesson we learned stay the hell out of caves

? The perfect murder?

Why could they not excavate from the side? If they conceded, what would it hurt ?
