truly, this is an historical peace worth spreading around the world, thanks to the late Alan Lomax for this human, moving, marvelous, cultural experience I can have from my couch.

This! In my mind, THIS is what the true Lord and Creator would want. A celebration. Not a mourning....If ya dig into that kinda thing.

Nowhere does it mention the state this was filmed in. Does anyone know? Just curious...reminds me of my Virginia roots when visiting my grandmother back in the day! Love it...
