Making music for the love of it, not to be a star or get rich.

It's Irish Scotish with a bit of African mixed in... atleast bluegrass is.. here in the hills all I gotta do is go down the mountain every other sunday to hear the old timers sing and pick for hours out side an old gas station er inside according to weather... every year there's less of 'em and fewer young folks to take up their place... it's sad..

hollywood can make fun of us all they like but I assure you we'll be missed when we're gone.

I'm not gonna say something pretentious, I will simply say that this is good, and I like it a lot.

It's good because it's real.

Where this tradition comes, from the Irish ? The Welsh ?

I understand, when I lived there, that *this* is the original mountain music. wails, single instrument, keening vocals. goes right to the heart.

Absolutely kick ass singing....would love to sit on that porch in the evening and just listen.

[slatedumpmusic]

Gorgeous.
