[Lillih3]

folk bluegrass gypsy funk zydeco...robert plant had the audacity to say american music sucks nowadays(not the exact quote, but close), obviously he is not listening to NPR or attending grassroots festivals. It is not to be found except for those who seek it

[MrStevoSeattle]

These guys are from back home where I grew up. They've always been great. We called it Appalachian HippyHop.

[stevenwildwood1]

@MrStevoSeattle OMG- my dad's called it that forever.

Apalachin Hop is a dance from Owego/Apalachin area.

LOVE THESE GUYS - and Judy and Richie are great w/ Natalie.

Just wish they could combine their sounds so Natalie would have music to DANCE to.
