Mother Maybelle was an extraordinarily handsome woman.

[ModGirl1967]

Americana, mountain music, whatever you want to call it -- it does NOT get any better than this.

[BlueRae07]

Outstanding! All of my autoharping and singing and keeping these songs alive is due to these two ladies and AP! Thanks for sharing!

[naomi barnard]

Sara had a beautiful voice.

If I could grant you US citizenship I would. Thank you for appreciating something 99%+ of "Americans" do not

Maybelle is absolutely an american treasure.

[JimmyBean456]

That's why it's fitting that it was invented by AP Carter(white) and Lesley Riddle(black). American music. Also a little Trivia Woody Guthrie used this tune and melody for his song critiquing Charles Lindbergh(for being a Nazi) and the Washington establishment for refusing to deal with Hilter...called 'Lindbergh.' Guthrie used a lot of Carter music. Of course it's hard to appreciate but this music was revolutionary then.

Country music 101. Really.

glad to see reference to country blues in this video - country blues is the root of all, black & white >> everything stems from this rural picking

[Peter Zimmermann]

Mother Maybelle, the first guitar shredder!
