  • Yes - I recorded it - he was talking to somebody from Ohio if I remember correctly. The signal was extremely poor. Not only is he deep in the mountains; he had a wire for an antennae tossed up into the branches of a tree.

  • I heard that..

  • I call bullshit. Those people don't sound a damned thing like the English, the Scottish, the Welsh, the Cornish, or the Irish. They sound like mountain folk, and there's no reason to assume that their language hasn't changed like everyone else's and diverged as a result of their isolation.

  • JimTom kicks ass.

  • @NoEoAoRo IT's a terrifying process.

  • the lady at the end says scotland far more like we scots say scotland, relative to most other americans, like "scohtland" the kind of gravelly tone to the guys voice also sounds more scottish than many american accents

  • My grandparents from Kentucky talk like this.

  • I wonder how Scots-Irish English morphed into this.

  • I love this DVD / CD. It's great to hear some of the stories and the pickin' is great too. I hope we never lose the mountain culture. Thanks for producing a wonderful project.

  • ol jim is a moonshiner and a ham thats cool

  • I love my state and how diverse it is you can go to the banks and here the hoi toiders and then here appalachia talk on the opposite end
