Have you ever seenclogging that is the type of dancing that was at first look was way long about a fiddle and banjo we used to dance around the house anyplace that give us a little space😊😊😊😊😊

Bluegrass music

Did you see Jesus yet?

Creepy. All you religious fanatics obsessed with death and waiting to die. Let's hope nobody puts you in control of any planes. At least some of us are committed to build a better world.

Jason Ryan an Irish name, I love the appalachia and the music because the Irish settled there too and brought the Irish music with them and over time the music evolved ,bluegrass, blessing to all my brothers and sisters in the hills of America amen 🙏

​@@peteflute2817don't forget Scottish people settled there too

Most of Appalachia was settled by Scots Irish people (what we call them in the U.S.). In Great Britain they were called Ulster Scots, settled in Ireland by King James the 1st of Great Britain (aka James IV of Scotland. Since I have roots in Appalachia, I like to think that, rather than oppressing Catholics, my fore-bearers moved on to America. I assume there was some intermarrying in Ireland so that many are of actual Irish heritage as well, and not just Scots from Ireland. Have not done the genealogy quite that far back.

I found my ancestors traced back to early to mid 1800’s! They’re originally from Ireland! They all moved here and lived all over the Appalachian Mountains! From Alabama and Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia, etc…

@@donaldharrill6265 It's a possibility.

History says many that settled in Applachia were Scots & Ulster Irish (not the famine group that came later and settled in city). Some New York Dutch from Catskills thrown in.

@@hermanmunster714 That's not what the 1790 -1810 census say's, the majority of households were English, followed by Scottish, some households stating English and Scottish, 10 Welsh households some stating English and Welsh, 8 German Households, 1 French, no Irish, Scots Irish, refers to the the English and Scottish planters who went via Northern Ireland.

Sup cuz lol

Agreed:)❤️😍❤️💃💃💃

Thank you for what you have said. David Hoffman filmmaker

He grandpa joe’d you from charlie and the chocolate factory

It shows the power of memories. That one time a man you respected showed you something vaueable to him imparted that value to you.

I feel the same way about this music. I can feel it in my bones.

Lol. Is it "instilled in your DNA"? I like "distilled in your DNA" too!!

Good ole Rocky top Tennessee!

Thank you Preston. Very kind. David Hoffman Filmmaker

Agreed

Yes!

I agree ❤️

Would love to see YOUR work preserved in an archive, if it's not already!

Imagine the things and characters his old floorboards have seen!

@@thelanecampbell you just proved the commenters point. By wiping an entire culture with such a negative judgement.

I’ve lived all over the country. What I’ve found is that no one area is more racist than any other area. Also, no race owns the market when it comes to racism. White, black, hispanic, etc are just about the same. Most are good and decent with a few outliers.

I’m going to bed e

@@traditionalfascists3303 what will happen when racismis not part of our culture?

@@michaelmichael2382 a dream to be sure

Heck yeah

Well now you have "slap mountain" truly a pinnacle of culture.

Don’t forget that there’s plenty of interesting people out there today, and even more stories worth preserving than ever. Everything current and uninteresting eventually becomes old and reverent with time!

@@UnwelcomeGuestVideos I've had the chance in the last few years to hitchhike the west coast and then as far east as Oklahoma so i can agree with you there. As of now a lot of the old greats are falling off and the young greats are being predated by gangs and brainwashed people trying to drug them with fentanyl and flokka/meth. If people realized those drugs and mind control comes from China maybe we could all agree to nuke them before it's too late and no one's left. On the streets the women that are left are haggard and schizophrenic and that includes the young ones and the men are the dominator ego brain gang member methhead types or gay transvestite methhead type. It's getting worse too and lots of human trafficking. This stuff is real i can't even believe im seeing it. Like no normal people anywhere and entire towns and cities with no one there. Seemingly. I know theres a mass exodus out of California. The illegals from somalia, haiti and the gangs from south America M13 are moving in and the violence and robberies are going up. Thank god i have family and a home in the forest now. I pray things get better for the world.

My thoughts exactly!

I knew id love it an i do

Thank you as well Kurt. David Hoffman

Same here .. This is how I found David's Channel.

my family in Tennessee also everbody had either a piano, an organ, guitars, in their house all my family members knew how to play some type of instrument

@Channel 6 Sorry not saying he is related to the term. Just what my family related me to for listening to his type music and enjoying the music. Not trying to offend.

Love it too thanks for sharing

Yep. Breaks my heart that Dave Macon Days festival hasn't met for 2 years now. It isn't just Covid. The older people who were running it need younger people to help, but we're still working.

Hold on to that tight and keep being you. You rock

Mister Grandpa's Bakery..Yes indeed..this is REAL MUSIC...Lots more than just BANGING on drums... No stories...No FEELINGS...No nothing. Thank you, David, for preserving this past history upon which our great country was established! 👌👏🎼🎶🎵🌹❤

It seems anything that comes through mainstream media is mostly the opposite to what its saying.

Take it from a man who was born and raised in the city, most city people are much less than refined.

The real roots of mountaineers has been hidden by mainstream history. It's a story never taught in the classroom because its just another hush crime.. The folks derided as Hillbillies today are the posterity of indentured SLAVES. Many brought to America against their will, press ganged into transport for some petty crime after European nobles enclosed the commons (Kicked tenant farmers off The kingdom's public lands and forced them into squalid city ghettos) so that they could re-appropriate the public lands into private estates for their own heirs. During their seven years of forced servitude, most faced the prospect of the taskmaster's whip at their back, while facing the Indian arrows from the front. This is because they had the most arduous duty in the colonies, - breaking the forest and clearing the rocky soil - for the plantation corporations. The attrition rate was astronomical, especially for females unused to the subtropical climate. After the land was cleared, they were unceremoniously cut loose to scratch out a living in the wilderness of the eastern mountains as a buffer against the indigenous tribes that might threaten the coastal plantations profits. They have been privately and publicly demonized by the gentry and upper class ever since. African slaves were brought in to work the cleared plantations and economically displace these folks so there would little prospect of lawful work for them. Even the fresh waves of destitute European immigrants would get in on the act to demonize them. ..Never mind that these hill folk made up the largest single portion of the continental Army (and still do). Now we have vicious bigots in the White house and Joint chiefs of staff who want to disarm them, jail them indefinitely without trial, Throw them in internment camps, or attack them with F15's and contaminate the hills with new-clear explosions . They actually say that last part out loud.

@@kylebradley2988 you dogg on right there,Mr.Bradley. 🐶

Love old mountain music

Near Abingdon and Bristol? White top?

@@sademccall6838 that's pretty close

I'm from South Carolina and Im one of the few people left in my area who lives by the good ol ways I believe in helping folks as much as possible

Ulster Scots.

Thank you so much, Cynthia. David Hoffman filmmaker

Kind presenter.That perfectly fits David Hoffman.

Thank you Suzy. David Hoffman

I know that you already know this but it was certainly not me. I would never have called myself a "talent scout." David Hoffman filmmaker

hope u find him and that recording!

Thank you for your comment, Brandon. David Hoffman filmmaker

I also wanted to say is what's cooler is I was on your channel for completely unrelated reasons; checking out your other interviews and stuff that I stumbled on, when this was recommended. Just feels like such a small world that this was your early work and here I am, living right around where you filmed [which much of it looks the same today!] and just blown away. Cheers!

Highest respect - not test . We are way beyond tests once we leave school

@@intensivemanagement Actually, a whole new series of tests begin then.

Thank you Stanislaw. David Hoffman filmmaker

Hello Linda, how are you?

Thank you so much. Your comment brings joy to my heart. David Hoffman filmmaker

well, scots were the early settlers in that region along with the english and welsh. this music would have its roots in scotland. fiddle reel music is indigenous to scotland.

Not Irish, but they did try to colonise here, so music moves around, l see a little free style step dancing there, that originates from here, it was called Sean nós "old style".

@@irishcountrygirl78 i,m old enough to know when irish music started in the late 50s early 60s when bands like the clancies etc appeared and adopted the scottish style and a lot of scots and english sangs. there are a few sangs in the appalachians that are of scottish origin,also fiddle tunes .the fiddles been in scotland from the 16th century. 17th century in ireland most likely with the scots who went to ulster. the earlier scots in amerikay would have brought their music with them. have a wee look at this. boxandfiddlearchive.com/scottish-fiddle-playing-and-its-irish-connections (tho it should read the other way) this irish fiddler wrote this in 1995 when he was 75 years old so he is going back a bit. you will notice where he writes scottish fiddle music has been in ireland for centuries. the ruiri person he mentions was actualy scottish. then, the part where he write one irish fiddler has 400 scottish fiddle tunes in his collection. onyhoo, you can read it yourelf. am pretty sure clogdancing originates in england or wales.

@@brucecollins4729 Seán nós dancing originated in Ireland. Original Irish dance. We actually did have our own culture here going back to the start that had zero British influence. Everyone has various dance that originated somewhere, Seán nos is not clog, it's tap and step dancing. No where did l take away from Scottish influence. Scottish here were planters. They weren't "friendly" when they came centuries ago, so forgive me if l do not allows Sean nós be given to the Scots 😉. It was very much born here out of oppression, much like our music and folk singing. BTW "when Irish music started" you'd need to be very old, infact you'd be dead, Irish trad goes back centuries old, the harp that Ireland holds so proud is actually not originally from here, Harps have been known since antiquity in Asia, Africa, long before they were introduced to us. Irish music has been apart of irish culture since we took up this island. Next you'll be telling me the brush dance isn't ours 🤣.

@@irishcountrygirl78 harps were also in scotland. the fiddles been in scotland since the 16th century. ireland in the 17th century. fiddle reels and strathpeys are indigenous to scotland. most likely taken to ireland by scots. boxandfiddle archive.weebly.com/scottish-fiddle-playing-and-its-irish-connections. as you can see i,ve corrected the link. there is another irish music historian writes ...we owe an irrepayable debt to the scottish tradition.if you look at the irish repertoire ithere are many irish sangs that are actually scottish, also english, but is one irish music compiler wrote...i list scottish sangs as irish because its mostly irish band that sing them. how hard is to say its a scottish sang.? irish stepdance may well have come from scotland. it,s been in canada for centuries.

Never why blue grass music was so called .now I do.🎻

Cowboy culture still exists, somewhat codified, it was still active into the 1920s in usa and parts of Canada. Trucks and railways took the drovers role, big 0astures had been ruined by thr end of 1900s through overgrazing, public wanted fat beef which were/arebest produced in feedlots not on grass.

Shindig on the Green on Saturdays @ Pack Square is an evolution of his festivals..

Thank you for your comment. If your resources allow, I would sure appreciate your using the THANKS button under any of my videos including the one you have commented on. It is something new that KZbin is beta testing and would mean a great deal for my continuing efforts. David Hoffman filmmaker

Well Lunsford is an English name.A lot of people from the North of England were early settlers and took their music etc with them there so maybe deep down it rang a bell🤣!

Ceci: I am thrilled for you. It's wonderful to see your great-great-grandfather. I am unable to see mine as they come from Ukraine without any footage. I can remember Sam. The kindest of men. Humble. David Hoffman filmmaker
