[@rbmindful]

A beautiful glimpse into people and a way of life passing on by the day. Coming up on 100 years of Carter Family music. Hope there's a hundred more.

I am so glad that this was filmed. I wish so much I could have met more of this family. The Carter Fold is like a long lost home. I loved visiting the church ...

[@brucesmith7822]

Look on youtube for more video's of the Carter's there are a lot of them to see.

[@trishpeterson9043]

I could listen all the time. Love this.

This brought back memories since I grew up a few miles from the carter fold and what a surprise I got when seeing my wife Rhonda flat footing as a 5 year old girl!

[@prestcoldandy910]

Is that your wife that little girl on the stage ?

[@seamus2112ophelan]

So happy to have come across this old documentary. Thanks.

Janette was Anita’s cousin. To me Janette resembles her own mother Sara Carter, in looks and voice.

[@TylerJohnson-wp2qf]

She was also Helen's and June's too lol. That's how maybelle found out helen could sing. Janette and helen sung a lot when they were kids

[@impassable]

She has Sara's voice of course

[@prestcoldandy910]

Interview with Ermine Carter at 5:37: Interviewer: A.P. went to Bristol in 1927 to do this historical recording. How old were you then, and what do you remember? Ermine: Well, I remember when they went, when they come back. I: What did he tell you when he came back? E: Well, they's kindly thrilled over the situation. Very much so. I: Did he know what he had started? E: No, he didn't. He really - just a pig in the poke so they say in there. He's just-a-gamblin'. I: You're laughing at the memory. What was there... Anything funny about it? E: Biggest thing I think it was about it - Uh, you better wait till Gladys come down here and cook that thing up again. Joe'll be here directly. He was with them when he was a kid [when they went up there and take it]. But they went down there in that Reedy Creek Road, you know. The main street what went down through there, there wasn't much of a street through there. But anyway, he taken him down there to play along that creek while they's up there recording. It was a real hot day, and I don't know how many hot dogs he eat, but he loaded up on them pretty good. Now I forget how many flats they had; that was the pretty part of it. I forget how many flats they had going and coming, That's what I was laughing about. They had flats, I don't know how many going up there and back. They just continually fixed flats.

That's the only time I've ever seen Janette play a guitar (10:30). She was always playing autoharp in later years.

[@tungstenkid2271]

A thousand years from now people will still be listening to the Carters on DVD or whatever, and as Janette said the whole family was religious, this verse strikes a chord- "There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported" -(KJV Bible: Ecclesiasticus 44:8)

[@truthbetold3550]

She is beautiful! Anita looks like her!

[@ed9492]

I didn't know they had drinking at square dances.

[@clintmurray9815]

There it is at 4:18. Jeanett Carter on the sign.

[@tonylennon7979]

Your beliefs are so much like traditional Irish Catholicism.

just think a few people come on the screan for just a few minutes and they become world renown while you and me work are asses to the bone and all they want is more of our hard earned cash
