[@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.

BEAUTIFUL !

[@seamus2112ophelan]

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

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 ?

[@davidsizemore2805]

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

[@1gregk1]

Top stuff from Miss Carter, could be listening to the original Carters.

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.

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

[@truthbetold3550]

She is beautiful! Anita looks like her!

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)

[@ed9492]

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

[@donfarlan214]

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

Your beliefs are so much like traditional Irish Catholicism.
