Where’s the emoji for crying on the floor with goosebumps?

[@barbarabutterfield2679]

I got goosebumps too!!

[@fenrislyulf8861]

My gods but her voice makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and not in a bad way. It is as if I'm accessing some sort of primal memory when she sings.

[@elfcounsul]

She is one of the greats. I’ve been following her since the days of Carolina Chocolate drops.

[@dianahughes8335]

No one moves my soul like Rhiannon! Saw Rhiannon live she is Beautiful, Incredible, no one can match her talent!!!

[@Elodie830]

Agree 1000%. She shares a GIFT from beyond

[@beachwalk5178]

Cosign 1000%

[@williamcarter4710]

No one matches her talent!? Are you kidding?

[@sandramorey2529]

This was wonderful. I am used to Ralph Stanley singing it in traditional style of the Southern Mountains (I love that one a lot), but inviting the audience to "Om" along was innovative & the wonderful singer behind her singing counterpoint and that almost everyone was masked just makes the subject matter sink in. A wonderful song no matter how it is done.

[@YvonneJ10]

I was so fixated on Rhiannon. I didn’t notice the audience chimed in. Gives me an excuse to rewatch! Thank you!😊👌👀🤗👏

[@willykayak]

No one can raise the spirit of the ancients like Rhiannon........

[@franksabatino7576]

This performance of a song about death celebrates life.

Just heard she will take over for Yo Yo Ma on Silk road Ensemble. Perfection. This gives me chills. I love Yo Yo ma and she is simply brilliant.

[@nealdmiller]

Hello Ms,how are you today

[@Морскаявода-т2м]

I heard this song in the computer game "Call of Juares: Gunslinger"(Silas Greaves). But this performance is awesome.

[@barbarabranch]

It took a train ride from another city, overnight hotel stay, metro and shuttle on the hottest day in DC to see Rhiannon and Silkroad performed at Wolf Trap and it was worth every minute of the effort and expense to be there. Took a brother who knew nothing about her and he was absolutely blown away. The most inspiring musical experience I have ever had. Love her music, her passion and her storytelling.😂😂😂😂

[@ariellegriffin13]

Chills

One person making the case to that maybe some of us ants have value? Maybe we could be kept around a bit longer?

I love the talent and the professionalism and the extreme experience of all the professionals there. I do not like the song

[@Gofish163]

Beautiful except for the masks 😷

[@MrWallythedog]

please, someone get her to stop before she sings another song. I love hearing her try to sound soulful. It's all fake, folks. The real thing is out there in case you are interested.

[@MrWallythedog]

oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Rhiannon - won't you spare me from having to listen to all this garbage?
