Hi James, I started watching the "America's Backroads" as I'm subscribed to your "Piano Forever" channel and I have really enjoyed seeing the Tennessee countryside. I'm from England and I see so many comparisons with the countryside here, just Tennessee is lush on a grander scale! I have been over to the USA several times, but I have never managed to get to Tennessee yet, having visited Pomona, LA, Vegas, New Jersey, Chicago on previous trips, which were connected to NHRA Drag Racing. It's great seeing the Morgan purring around the countryside too! Keep up the great work, I'm enjoying it a lot. Best Wishes, Mervyn

So glad to have you along for the ride. We have a big surprise coming in the next 30 days that I really think you will enjoy. We have been trying to figure out just what this channel should be all about and I think we are getting a better understanding of where it is going after only about 3 weeks into the channel.

Excellent tour and ride! You really have a knack for this. And, listen to that Morgan purr.

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

Thank you for all the information when we met, and also for the sub!!!

[@richardsorey8611]

James, it was so enlightening to see another side of you, I have always admired your musical talents, however it is great to see your other interests. Thank you for taking us along. I hope we meet some day. It was also good to see a glimpse of your dad, will you get him on camera so we can meet him?

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

Thank you!

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

Dad is camera shy, but he be in the sidelines from time to time.

[@ThePianoJourneyMusic]

Your Variety of content really amazes me Wonderful video I've been a subscriber of ThePianoforever for over 2 years Love Your Videos!

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

Wow, thank you!

[@mararanian9573]

Nice and clean.

[@reinhardstebner6299]

What a wonderful video! I could feel myself right there walking with you through town. Thank you for keeping the video simple without music. I hope you keep the same style of video. Once again, what a wonderful experience! As a blind person, could somebody please describe to me what some of these buildings look like, the buildings from 17 and 1800s such as the courthouse?

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

I believe the courthouse is from 1903 and is made our of brick. Many of the other buildings are even older and most are made out of brick.

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

The log cabin where Andrew Jackson lived for two years was very rustic with the original logs showing the wear the elements have provided with over 250 years of exposure. The inside from what I could see from the camera after seeing it on video showed a mostly empty building with wide plank floors that also seemed to be original. It was the nicest original 1700's log cabin I have ever seen by a very large margin.

Great to see a kid whose likes extend beyond Datsuns and Toyotas, and cell phones and computers.

[@Nightyyou]

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Altroante]

Beautfiul ride

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

It's one of the nicest drives of anywhere I know.

[@daviahollinsfromdeedeetick2567]

Since breakfast foods are one of my favorite kind of food to eat that food there at the pancakes house look so delicious and mouth watering too me (since I am from the south speaking of the south anyways ) since I love to travel just like you James.😀

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

So good

[@charlesnr]

Have fun with the SU carbs like my P1800 Volvo in the 70's. Cleaning the domes for smooth idle and keeping damper oil topped up. But even my Volvo always had its air filters on. Where did they go?

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

When Mogan installed the larger Tr3 engine in a Morgan Plus 4 there was never enough room for air cleaners. You could buy a Morgan with a smaller engine with air cleaners. I have been told over the years that the English often ran engines without air cleaners even outside of Morgan design as well.

Looking at this video, including the candy shop, only one reaction is appropriate: VROOOOOOOOOOOM! X-D

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

Cool comment.

[@mkshffr4936]

Love the horseless carriage.

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

[@JohannaA.5013]

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

[@JohannaA.5013]

@@americasbackroadswithcharl7688, thank you. I sent a fan e-mail to Mr Shwcross a while ago. I totally understand that he is a very busy man. But can you say me if he at least received it?

[@americasbackroadswithcharl7688]

My dad thanks you for the fan mail and is sorry he cannot respond to corospondince due to his incredibly busy schedule.
