This is an excellent video and music. I just discovered Lee Sexton and I'm hooked.
I grew up in a copper mining town where the people were completely under the thumb of the company. Mining is a horrible way of life that generally leaves people destitute and the land destroyed. I hope that we can find a coal substitute.
Coal forms by the degradation of plant materials over long periods of geologic time. Even if there were a "maker", that maker would not be necessary for coalification.

lee sexton is a legend in his own time master banjo player and good freind
-
For the banjo players out interested, the tuning Lee uses is fDGCD.

Lee is the real deal. You can see him play every Friday night at 6:00 at the Campbell Branch Community Center in Hallie KY (Letcher County). Its just down the road from Lily Cornett Woods, about 45 mins from Whitesburg.
You can also see him the Appalshop film "Morgan Sexton: Banjo Player From Bull Creek"

Lee and his uncle, Morgan Sexton, was one of Kentucky's best two-finger banjo players, and Lee introduced me to the tune Pretty Polly in sawmill tuning, and his family as well as himself, have been coal miners in Eastern KY.

Every note, both sung and plucked, rips your heart out.
-
Nice tuning. Never heerd Little Maggie playing in that tuning before.
-
Gotta love Eastern KY
-
I've seen the documentary like a thousand times man. I love that southern vibe.

you should really change the title of this to include "little maggie", so when people look this song up they come across this video. it's the best version on youtube that i have come across!
