I do too. The banjo is so skillful and magical and the tap steps of D Ray White himself, the legend of dancing mountain men, are amazingly good! God bless the Wild and Wonderful White family of West Virginia! Never wanna lose this video? Download it so you never lose it! Google: KZbin downloader. All the best!

The reason it gives anyone goosebumps is because it’s real and pure. Both of them are playing with God given talent. They are naturals at what they do. No pyrotechnics, no backup dancers to obscure their weaknesses. They perform because they have to. They perform because they know that what they do, makes others happy and filled with joy. Which in turn brings the artist happy. There are no middle men. Sorry if I am rambling.

It’s so good. I love all kinds of music spanning rock, jazz, blues and even hip hop. D Rae was really a special person. I can see he had something inside of him that allowed him to go to a place that most people can’t go. Jesco has the gift as well. Love watching them both.

Have a hard time thinking it will be the same at all without him there. His root-authentic banjo style has been a staple in Logan for decades - since the start. RIP Dunk - you will be very very missed. Pick one out with Bill up there today.

I'm highly impressed at how much of an all around musician D. Ray White was. Back then it was extremely hard to get noticed by the music industry but this man had the musician talent that it takes to make it big. I say this because its obvious tap dancing wasn't his only skill. He can also sing but most importantly he was entertainer. This man worked the audience, making them enjoy his show & his talent.

Truth! But huffing gasoline, airplane glue, and lighter fluid definitely takes its toll on the body in all ways horrible. not to mention the constant booze and pills that Jesco still consumes to this day. Still, i like Jesco's style. It's a little different than his dad's but he can really tear it up to Ozark Mountain Daredevils. It's too bad D. Ray's death sent Jesco off the deep-end.
