Hey, what's up? Good to hear from you again. It seems like things are changing so fast. Computers and cell phones are hastening the change for sure. It is good to stop and learn some things "Knee to Knee". It seems to stick with me better that way. It seems to hold more weight and feed my soul.

I have always wondered at the similarities between the two geographical areas. Even the plants seem to indicate a shared past. It is so good to hear from you. Are you a musician?

Hello, so good to hear from you. I was just watching A Nest of Singing Birds: Songs and Stories from the Appalachian Mountains and was thinking about you. I hope all is well! You are both queens as far as I'm concerned. It has been an honor to get to know you a bit through your video. All the best.

Great video! Thanks for keeping out NC mountain heritage alive. The Jane Hicks Gentry, of Hot Springs, discussed in the video is my distant cousin.

So good to hear from you. Thanks for leaving a comment. During the process of making this video, I got to spend some time up in Sodom Laurel. It was a special experience finding some of the graves of the folks mentioned here. I have never actually seen the movie all the way through but I am bound to watch it now!

Glad to hear from a kindred soul. We appreciate your comments.

What's up? I am assuming by your KZbin name you enjoy bluegrass. Do you still live in Appalachia? I am not sure I could ever leave it now.

@@scottallen6062 8/15/24: Long story short. Born in the region, sprung from a long line of Scots-Irish North Carolinians. In adulthood, taught and worked in flatter areas. Grew to love bluegrass long ago, now I am published and still write about bluegrass and traditional music. That tiny picture over there is of the Bluegrass Shack. Sadly it burned to the ground years ago, caused by kids with firecrackers. Pick away! 🪕
