Thank you so much , Kitty, dang!We are moved by this ecstatic vision.That David Hoffman's heart was tripped deeply into this scene.The feet! His concentration to the details of the whole experience- especially the important one-- the people and their hearts and feet and beatific faces. Overwhelming, really!
(P------, our email host watched it just now and is helping get this straight here)- none of us has seen it before now even though we are all big on the Lomax, Folkways/Smithsonian/ Arhoolie/ Okun/et al 50's 60's folk revival, ito Cecil Sharp and older, too... etc.This culture is definitely being preserved. The Blue Ridge Legacy Dancers still dance, we hear. The linked videos are also amazing and these treasures do inspire people to these arts.The greatness of America- or any land is in its traditional arts.We ourselves are into the tradition- even though we come from much different regions. P---- plays a 75- year- old, perfectly restored Martin d-18 and we all play strings or sing, too.
Thank you for your contact here- a connection to the beautiful South.We will update you if you like - our sets are getting quite long and almost 80% Trad.
I've actually got a recording - somewhere - my mother made of one of our NC neighbors, an elderly mountain lady, singing Bar'bry Allen. We've also heard our neighbors sing versions of The House Carpenter, The Seven Wonders, et al. Gospel tunes - mostly Scared Harp - are also big Up There: Babylon Has Fallen, etc. Of course, where I live in the South - in what's called "The Low Country" - the musical traditions are a bit different.
Y'all may have already seen this, but if not, it's a real Appalachian treat:
The 3 most eloquent and elegant persons- not just female-type persons in all of music. True professionals and never lost their common touch.Linda and her Tejano/ Del Norte things and folk, Emmy and her broad scope of American and Dolly, the sweetest royalty of all C+W.We hear a lot of Carter family . We love also Kitty Wells and Betty Carter but also Christina Opalais and Anja Heteros at the Opera and real Jazz- where findable.Broad music loves
Thanks, so much, B.Kitty, I'll get it to the others right away- a keeper for sure and quite useful , actually. Next time in Dixie we're bringing a field recorder, for sure. Saves us a bit on the dialect coaching.
Hope those folk can keep their charming dialect in the face of encroaching global English - hope they can survive MTR and the coal apocalypse as well.Thanks for asking about our (plural) recoveries- hand (2) and foot (2).Still get some reserve sick eave but the others are back at work.So many tunes are in that patois and rhythm.The US Americans here might be up for another trip down KY. or Miss. (namesake state, so , yeah!)We specialize in J.F.Childs Ballads that survived into Appalachia.Barbara Allen, ('course) Edward,Pretty Polly, Gypsy Laddy, etcGroup but lots of solo.Piedmont string (=picking, 5-finger)and delta guitar and harmonica.Violin replacement is needed now.Maybe I'll join in them, like 'celoo so why not? see if we can.Thanks for the clip we're usin it def.
"Injuries"? I hope everybody's OK or at least doing better.
In re: "Appalachia tunes" - as it happens, my family's summer home, for many years now, is waaaaaaaaaay up in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina, between the Cherokee Reservation, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Tennessee border. We're way up in the mountains, almost 20 miles from the nearest town and four miles from the nearest neighbor - VERY Appalachian.
And yes, this is exactly how our neighbors Up There talk:
Though it does have issues with weird non-/capitalization, a couple comma errors, and the misuse of "It's", that last bit of writing from "About Bill" is actually much more solid than I was expecting.
What's the word coming to when we can't expect more than 10 erroneous non-/capitalizations per paragraph from your average wingnut congressional candidate? How will the other wingnuts even be able to recognize a member of their tribe if they have to read for content to get the dogwhistles instead of merely glancing at the capitalization?
I suppose that's why he included the all caps, italicized and bolded GOVERNMENT. Probably added by the editor who struck the caps from "PAC".
This moron claims to have been a political science major. Just in case he's actually not lying when he said that--I know, his "not lying" is a remote possibility--I want to issue a blanket apology for anything this bozo writes and says, from me and every other political scientist, ever.

At this point, I think it's pretty clear that a "strict constitutionalist" is just someone with a rigid bathroom schedule.
Kiri is an airplane?
Believing in and promoting conspiracy theories used to be a demerit for any candidate in any party running for an election.
Today, believing and promoting conspiracy theories has become a STRENGTH for members of the Trump Party in garnering support.
Soon it will be MANDATORY for any candidate from their party in order to get elected.

That flowchart is so Office Space. Umm, you can please print me a copy of the Toiddy Paper Shite report?
Would love to get an update on Moran man and see if he knows how famous he's become, and whether he can get that phrase trademarked.
