THIS is what old time music is all about. This clip is timeless.

[@tmcnairbledsoe]

Wow. I've been listening to Nora Brown all year and seeing her so young is amazing.

[@anilmitra5065]

It is December 2024 here. These are difficult times here in the US. But there is still beauty in the land. This morning, I heard a raven cry against a near clear blue sky. And now this, too is beautiful.

[@Wheels-Wheels-Wheels]

I'm in tears watching this, it's just so touching & beautiful.

[@curtisshaw6160]

This is just beautiful to watch. The pairing of these two. 90 years old and passing it on down. Love it with all my heart.

[@erickborling1302]

It's part of the 2021 healing now too.

[@DaveCurtis-b3u]

I just keep watching is video it is so special the older generation taking time for the younger generation. ❤

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Nora has learned what my Daddy told me long ago "If you want to learn something, go see those that know how."

[@Rosebud3403]

The precious moments spent on that couch will live with her forever. When he smiles at her, he lights up. He sees his life’s worth and his pouring his legacy into the next generation.

[@whitey0o5]

Best part is @2:50. Watching his face when she starts to sing. Nora. You rock dude!!!

[@Gtr4Peace]

Letcher County native here........priceless.

[@andydixon2980]

A very touching piece of film. Seeing the old timer banjo player passing the torch on to the young student. That's what it all about.

[@valeriemoore2184]

I adore Mr. Sexton's disclaimer at the beginning.

[@JacobvsRex]

Especially if you have any idea who he is lol

[@johnfurey8504]

The most beautiful video I have seen

[@prestonlloyd4520]

Nora. I just love watching your face here as you watch Lee. You, yourself are a treasure.

[@patrickfoster4586]

How great Nora got to meet and play with Mr. Sexton. There is no "generation gap" when you're dealing with 2 excellent musicians. Similar to when I met some Japanese rockers, couldn't understand one word, nor they me, but we could play some blues together like old friends. One of the many reasons I love music so much.

[@blaisegirl420]

Exactly- it’s like food. No language barrier when you’re just sharing love ❤️

[@BeterGaJe]

Stop making this about you Patrick

[@ricksouthernrebelatheart5138]

No way you had opportunity to play with Lee Sexton! May he rest in peace.

[@markmeyer3448]

Reminds me of when I first learned how to play acoustic guitar...I was 12 years old, my father taught me the key of C. I went on from there to learn fingerpickin. Thank you for posting this video!! I love it!

[@chariscarter5192]

Was that Roy Andrade holding the camera?

[@matthubbard6353]

If you call it a “banjer” then you 100% are a banjo player 😊

[@pgpollets]

wonderful to watch how fast Nora learns and how Lee shares from old to new

[@kellygoodnight2076]

About 2 minutes, 15 seconds in, she flicks her eyes up to him. He connects to her and plays slowed down, and she mirrors. Mmmm.

[@eelnai2503]

so gd wholesome

[@engelsanchez]

❤️

[@alexharden848]

Someone chopping onions in here?

[@mack8488]

[@tnwoodbutcher420]

Call and response with papaw? yes yes yes

[@badgerbadger6490]
