its not dying in all circles im twenty one, and my son is three i play banjo guitar and mandolin he sing sold folk songs and loves every min of it. Just keep passing it down
I really like the photos where you the parents playing an instrument and then you see the kids playing the same instruments. Something about the continuity of it.
There is a difference between this and Bluegrass. This is the real "old timey music," but Bluegrass adds a five string banjo played Scruggs style, fiddle, etc and Bill Monroe was its father. Bluegrass uses a lot of improvisation, much like jazz. It is the jazz of country music. That is the way I like to think of it. Love both kinds of old music.

@Rowanriver They have taken our heritage or we gave it away or forgot to remember

I miss this so much. I feel like crying. When I was little, my family used to get together all the time and play and now it's dying. It's a shame.

I love this kind of music. you just cant hear it anymore. i just don't like this modern gospel. Most of it is not even scripture.
