I just finished watching the entire film. What a fabulous documentary and a gem for all Serbs living in the US. I moved to South Chicago in March 1967 from Serbia, went to Washington HS, and this even made it more special. Too bad Serbs are blending inn and forgetting their roots. Once out of Serbia we become others and our kids do not attend all those dances and one day will just say my parents were Serbs. Lets share this film with all our friends, Thank You!
Their music will never be forgotten. No Serbian tamburitza's music should ever be forgotten. We have many thanks to our parents, babas and dedas for making us a part of their lives. Greatest group of granduncles I could ever dream to have.

Gimme a break. They F***en hated anyone that was not like them. And they were brutal about it. Racists to the core. I know. I grew up in South Chicago and went to St. Francis de Sales high school. I lived with their down home racism every fricken day. Sometimes I thank god for closing down the mills. It showed how everyone was the same. Big corporations didn't give a shit about race. They closed the mills. They wanted to make mo' money. Culture is good if you know how to use it.
My God the memories.thanks you so much folkstreamer. If you have more please post because the world needs to hear them so that their music is not forgotten!...
