"Experience the Magic of Appalachia: Philip Bowen's Moving Performance of Amazing Grace"

[@Richard_Thique]

If this doesn’t get your emotions going i don’t know what will. This performance touches the soul.

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

Thx so much !

[@vikkbiff6029]

Yeah it's just like violin funeral music. beautiful but sad

[@Montani.Semper.Liberi]

Absolutely!

[@Limpin_Garage]

First time I heard this i was laying in a hospital bed after being told I would lose my left leg above my knee and id never walk again .i laid in that bed for 3 days in pain and fear when this beautiful peice came through my headphones scattered me into a million peices took my pain and restored my hope I'm proud to say I fought through and got to keep my leg after 10 major reconstruct surgeries 6 months of being in a wheelchair and now have been walking on it for almost a month and a half God is good God bless you Philip and your music ❤

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

What an incredible story!!! Thank you for sharing! Also, if you ever need the song on the go it’s out everywhere philipbowen.ffm.to/amazing.OYD

[@iwantmyvanback]

This is one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this gift.

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

Wow, thank you!

[@mommataurus7542]

I shared this with my Daddy a few months before he died. Touched him so deeply that all he could say was “Thanks.” He was a Methodist preacher. Our family has been here since the 1600s and there has been a preacher in every single American generation. This is powerful for so many reasons-- thank you for this gift.

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

Sorry for your loss!

[@brantleythomas3941]

If this doesn’t touch your soul it’s just because you don’t have one

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

hahaha

[@sageness6]

I need this, maybe a full version on iTunes…like yesterday 😂❤❤

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

Here you go!!!! philipbowen.ffm.to/amazing.OYD

[@sageness6]

@@PhilipBowenMusic stopppp it! Omg thank you for this, such a beautiful rendition you did of this just wanted to say 🥹❤️🔥

[@bnsfbandit9807]

Man this really gets a lump in your throat. Just thinking about all the people that used to live in the Appalachian mountain range that made a living off of coal mining. That was good America. Im not even from around there but whenever I visit this will 100% be playing. Hopefully someone can bring the glory days back. Thank you Phillip Bowen!

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

Thanks much

[@Factsfeelings-lb1kh]

There was good and bad to it but at the end of the day, a lot of those coal miners didn’t have much of a choice. They were too poor or uneducated to find a job anywhere else and it wasn’t like anywhere else in the region was offering a different line of work. God bless them for their sacrifices to give their lineage a better life. This region still has a great amount of jobs around natural resources. Just remember, to the people of Appalachia, outsiders only ever seem like people who like the culture but sneer at the people who live it.

[@skippygotrobbed]

I count you among this world's treasures. Thank you.

So glad!

[@DoctorPrepperMD]

Love this. Thank you. Would love an immersive stereo surround recording hi-def of some of your stuff. I barely play the cello and would love to learn some cello “fiddle” techniques. Do you know anyone with a cello you could play with? Love to hear that.

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

Great suggestion!

[@tomcunniff1512]

Non American here. There's something about the fiddle that's almost primal when it's played gently. I just feel warm and happy yet emotional

I have always loved and wanted to learn the violin got my first one a couple of months back.a nice Suzuki 300 from 1976 baught in Japan and brought over an older women was selling it to repair her churches window after storm damage. I told her that i would use it to not only have music help heal me but to heal others that need it more then they know. I hope to one day turn out with talent like yours and to follow my Appalachian instincts and play a fiddle with more emotions like you have. For now tho unfortunately im stuck with little segments here and there i can play.

[@honorablefoe2718]

To people that may comment ways I can learn faster since no teachers are in my area nor can I afford one any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
