The Onion the young lady talks about in the beginning of the video it's called walking onions I believe

Do any of those dulcimers have a BB Harmon carving in them?

My Great Great Grandmother was Catherine Shelton, the sister of Stob Rob and David Shelton who were killed in the Shelton Laurel Massacre. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you.

I’m so happy to have stumbled onto your channel. Think I’ll make it my home in my heart for awhile.

Can someone post the lyrics to this? It reminds me of going to church with my Appalachian great grandparents as a kid ❤

Don't let it die ❤

Wow

My dad was born in a cabin on top of a ridge in Wolfe county Kentucky. I was the first one born in a hospital.

What is the name of this song?

His granddaughter/child has no clue.

I live in rural West Virginia, about 19 years now. My home is on a mountain, tucked away in the woods, with about 4 neighbors semi-far away. In the summers, the neighbors play instruments and sing, sometimes 'clog'. I can not see the house or see the people hanging out in the screened porch of that house. BUT at the end of a day, sitting outside and hearing the music is incredible like seriously incredible.

thank you.

You can listen to true field recordings on the Archives of Appalachia website through ETSU. Barnicle and Cadle recordings are AMAZING and spooky to an extent.

We have shape note singing choir in Vermont. The kids love doing it.

😮😮😮 ... Jajaja canta como mick Jagger 😅😅😅

3:41 Love this video, song and music! Who plays the beautiful guitar / stringed instrument parts towards the end? What instrument is it? Would like to hear MORE. <3

“Old time banjo has so much emotional capacity” sums it up wonderfully!

Where I would like To Be: "Shape Note Singing" in Appalachia. My grandparents came from Ireland and Hungary, the Irish one went to veterinary school in IL (and all 4 brothers did, all together of course) and the other went to the coal mines in PA coming to America. Love this music, for when you had no instruments but voices and a choir that could soar. <3 My grandmother was raised Quaker in Iowa, and met and married grandpa and then to Chicago where he worked in the cattle stockyards as a veterinarian, until he started his own animal clinic and also took care of the animals at the Brookfield Zoo. What a story these people could tell! <3

Where I would like To Be: Shape Note Singing in the Appalachian Hills: <3

I miss them old-timer, salt of the earth 😢

🤗 hugs to Mr. Franklin. He seems like a very sweet man. God bless him.❤️

He may know my grandparents and some of my family. My grandparents lived across the street from Laurel Creek Church Kelley and Ornan Norton and he pastored Ivy Ridge Church of God for many years. He had a daughter and her husband that built beside them Truman and Nancy Crain. My aunt Tiny married Doyle Lloyd and he pastors in Tennessee now.

O heard this as a child and still love it. It brings tears.

The typical farm dog throughout the US in the mid 20th century was the English Shepherd and similar collie type dogs. It was the all purpose farm dog...guard, herder, varmint killer, companion, baby sitter.

Shapenotes were not popular in colonial America. They weren't invented until the early 19th century. The were, however, applied then to music that had been popular in the colonial period as well as to newer music.

Congratulations on your baby son!

Learn something every day ,bthe sound is beautiful, halejulah

Visited my grandparents' church as a boy. It was primitive baptist or hardshell baptist. The song leader would sing a phrase of the song and then the congregation would imitate it. Sounded a lot like this style of music. My papaw preached at the church sometimes. So many memories!

I am so glad i found this channel. According to my grandmother, now deceased, i had ancestors who were some of the first to travel over the Appalachia Mountains. Family was of Irish/Scottish descent.

reduced me to a puddle. Lovely beyond words

That’s very much like ancient British church music.

The Anglican were musical prudes. The Outlaw Scots and Irish had better tunes.

You people of these lands will come back because of your strength and God’s help. It was tough living before the flood. The tress are damaged but though damaged, it produces the most beautiful wood.

Reminds me of the Scottish metrical psalm singing ( often in Gaelic ) in the Free Church of Scotland.

I have never heard that style of music. That was absolutely beautiful.

Its haunting but beautiful, ive never heard this type of music or singing before.

That's incredible.

That's Celtic! I'm an Aussie of Irish descent. I know that sound anywhere.

I am just watching this now. I hope and pray that these farms have survived the devistation from the hurricane's.

I lead congregational acapella shape note songs. A number of excellent singers grew up this way. Wierd Al Y., Pat Boone. My Mother grew up in South Central Tennessee and the little New Hope Church of Christ was, and still is all acapella.

Bag Pipes.

Í clicked because my great grandfather's name was Burley. Burley Mabry, or Pappaw Burley. Then I saw it was about tobacco 😅 I was a sorter, grading the leaves.

That is exactly how church sounded like when I was a child. I remember the shape note hymnals in the pews. We never called them that, but once describing them I knew exactly what you were talking about.

Staggeringly BEAUTIFUL ❤❤

She was pretty in the first picture I saw of her and then I saw the picture of her when she was younger and she was pretty in that too🎉
