The light of my life lies deep in the Smokys I courted her up there. Married her. Loved her. Laid her ashes up on Water Rock Knob, NC, where she shocked me claiming me as her own. Her schooling in a tiny Smoky Mountain k-12 was equal to my own private mid Atlantic schooling. Better than I almost in all ways. Courted her or maybe she just waited to for me to realize what was obvious. 60 years with her. Beautiful. We wandered but I knew I had to lay her to her rest on Water Rock Knob high in the Smokys, her glen. Yes, we are both Scots. Those mountains remind me of what I lost. I do miss her.

My dad's side of the family came to America from Scotland in the mid 18th century, and settled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. When I was a boy at family reunions, I used to love hearing the old timers tell stories of moonshine stills and a life that looked nothing like what I knew, and listen to them play their fiddles and banjos. As for myself, while I may be just another average 21st century dude raised in suburbia, I still can't help but feel nostalgic and sentimental for music like this. It helps to anchor me, and reminds me of where I come from.

I have lived in these beautiful Appalachian mountains all my life and sometimes take their beauty for granted. When I seen pictures like these I say to myself " man God surely blessed you when he placed you in these beautiful mountains". I love my WV and will never leave her.

I have this old apple tree that puts out apples every two years. They look like crab apples, but they are so sweet. When I get those apples, I get excited. It's a lot of work slicing and processing. I love listening to some good old bluegrass music to make me think of the old traditions of families fiddling and processing their harvests. It occurred to me as I was working and in a mixture of deep concentration and fantasy that as I am listening, I didn't have to jump up every five minutes and press skip add. I had to stop everything I was doing and come over to my computer to say Thank You I have had the most wonderful thought filled imaginative evening. Sincerely, Thaddeus F. Meyer

That banjo and jaw harp @ 52:30 is perfect . I could listen to all day !

[@joelvale3887]

I think I was born in this area on my previous life, because I like the scenery and the music.

I love reading the comments here and elsewhere from people around the world expressing their love for American Bluegrass and Country music. It has so much emotion and energy. I have friends in England and for every year on his birthday or Christmas I send him the latest Country or Bluegrass music CD. This site definitely marries the magnificence of Bluegrass with spectacular photography. I was hooked on Bluegrass in the 70s and I started playing the banjo when I was 14 ... I now play the banjo, mandolin, electric and acoustic guitar and electric bass. Long Live Bluegrass !

god bless Appalachia may you always be gentle, kind and slow.

My grandpa contributed to my love of bluegrass music. he played guitar and all he was a music lover. and taught me to be too. he never liked much pop though nor wrap and neither do i come to think of it. we lost him when i was seventeen and i miss him a lot. he was trying to teach me guitar but we never saw each other enough to get it accomplished. But i love the music. it used to drive my sister insane.

I moved away from Clintwood, Virginia - a sleepy, coal mining town deep in Appalachia. My heart is still in those mountains and always will be.

I know all these faces, and all these places. I knew them all as friends, and family. They were yours, and they were mine. Gone now but for my memory, and images burned into indelible film. We can't stand today, or dare to stare into tomorrow, without acknowledging the hardships of those that had to survive, so we could live. Thank You, and God Bless you, for posting this deeply moving video, Will

[@therealtoni]

[@brandonpartin37]

It’s funny because lots of southerners moved to South America after the civil war so you’ve probably got some mountain boy in you somewhere

[@fruity6253]

My dad and grandpa used to play bluegrass music. Listening to this brings back so many fond memories of growing up in West Virginia. ❤
