Love the Shape Note singing. It's almost a lost art. Thanks for keeping it alive.

[@dbadagna]

Thanks for capturing the shape note singers--they sounded great!

[@johnkatnik3168]

You folks play some awesome music together. I love the sounds when you have a bunch of talent together. I wish I can be there when festival is happening. Great music!

"now shall my inward joys arise" nicely done folks

[@1975Jiffy]

This is awesome! ❤ Thank You All!

[@cumberlandcultureartssocie73]

This is such a magical event. I like that at the start you managed to audio capture the moment between 7-7:15am where there is a break from fiddle music as the all-nighters to go bed and the early-risers wake up :)

[@ijohnny.]

These people are great! Thanks for posting!

[@sarahdickinson769]

I am looking forward to attending clifftop some season soon, me and my boyfriend can't wait. Are there many classes/ workshops?

[@ijohnny.]

Second song, drummer got the "Bo Diddley beat" happening. (An ancient rhythm)

[@idahoduckhunter]

Shout out to Aaron Tacke at 17:00 who got me back into banjo after hearing his work with Steam Machine.

Great video, but that singing at 16:55 is just about the finest you'll hear, fabulous...........

[@jordonadkins4253]

about the hairiest pits you'll see on a girl too LMAO

[@sumorley3485]

Love the "Seasonal Gal" segment. Nice one fellas!

[@marlinknight5136]

At 4:00 that girl does some good guitar. Sure does make that lead fiddle sound right.

[@BobWarnerBarn]

Nice. 🤗

[@russellnewton6660]

As a Brit I thought....................................brilliant.

[@NativeAmericanElder]

cool

[@brennanbreed3441]

Does anyone know the name that first a cappella song? Thanks for posting this!

[@tribchb]

Bright Morning Star.

[@MrMusicguyma]

@@tribchb Great traditional gospel song with many fine versions. I learned it 40 years ago from National Geographic LP of Ozark Music. (I can't find it on youtube). That version, the one I prefer, is "regular" without the long drawn-out notes. But, I like all the versions I have heard.

[@user-qt5eh9wb7g]

the ladies at 17:40 sing so sweet, love it.

[@ggail6]

Tatiana Hargreaves and Sonya Badigian

[@davidschumaker8107]

17:00 That sure looks like Victor Furtado in the maroon shirt between the banjo and fiddle players. A great picker himself!

[@paulrogers2815]

How did l miss so much talent in one place where is this

[@stalstonestacy4316]

West Virginia. Everybody overlooks us. Sometimes we're ok with that though. Our seclusion is the reason we still have this beauty

[@paulrogers2815]

Now now I have a lot of family lives in west Virginia what part do you live in and where do they have the festival

When can I go to this and where is it?

[@craigevans4010]

It’s called the southern Appalachian string band music festival. Google it to learn more. It’s coming up the end of July.

[@cormackjames]

@@craigevans4010 I will, end of July I have an event but will definitely like to attend some time

[@tempvariable]

Can anyone tell me the name of the hymn at 25:00?

[@timmace2689]

Curious as to what camera you're using....excellent capture!

[@user-qt5eh9wb7g]

Yes, the sound is quite good. I've not seen a camera pick up a bass so well, very nice.

[@craigevans4010]

I shoot with Sony PXW-X70 cameras. I also use a Rode Video Pro (boom) mic. Rather than trust the Sony audio (built into the camera), I use an old school Beachtek 2 channel mixer. The camera is far from perfect (slow/inaccurate zoom, wonky audio, twitchy ND auto filter), it does have some upsides (good in low light, sharp image, decent color for the price). So I've learned what I can accommodate to get what I'm after. Thanks for noticing! Craig

[@dougdubois8914]

What is the name of the tune Sami starts at 8:55?

[@jayd619]

Gunboat. Ernie Carpenter has a great version, but I think it's from the civil war(or just after)

[@banjominer9682]

i stopped in for this festival. Sadly all the musicians i tried to speak to or jam with were so stuck up and arrogant. I have 4 gold records and i would never treat anyone like that. These folks have nothing to back their arrogance

[@craigevans4010]

Banjo Miner, I'm sorry you had such a poor reception. Please don't hold the whole community responsible for your admittedly disappointing first impression. I'd be happy to answer any questions or make up for what you were seeking. The whole community is a bunch of seekers. That's why I'm surprised you weren't given a warmer welcome. Peace.

[@danwebb4418]

Banjominer.., a lot of musicians have 3 hands, 2hands for playing their instrument, and 1hand to give themselves a clap on their own back..They can be their own best fan..

[@marlinknight5136]

At 9:12 here's another good musician, this time on the fiddle, and what nice looking knees...
