Carolina Chocolate Drops Reunite in Mebane NC to Remember Joe Thompson (2021)

[@kenhill295]

I had the pleasure of spending the day with Joe Thompson at his home playing fiddles and hearing stories. As we talked about fiddle music and African-American history with that music, Joe said it made him sad that there didn't seem to be any young black musicians who cared about this music. The very next year he met THESE two. The rest is Joe Thompson history. Loved spending the day with him!

Amazing conversation, thanks for posting this!

Pretty damn magical. I came across the Carolina Chocolate Drops some years ago and loved the music. This gave me some history and context. Thanks for sharing this.

It was a real pleasure to be around them for the day. Thanks so much for watching.

Always a bit bizarre to see my old hometown on YT. Otherwise, important work here. Rhiannon is a national treasure.

This is KZbin Gold. Consider changing the title to something about them and Joe and the Carolina Chocolate Drops. This is worthy of a million views! I love the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Sure, everyone wishes they would get together and put more content out!

[@woshidaoyan]

[@elliottcrews4997]

Does anyone know what Justin R. is doing these days? I hope he's still performing but while DF and RG are very active I never see anything about him.

Those turtles nibbling away at Rhiannon's ears don't appear to affect her beautiful playing.
