I ran across this video and was so glad to have found it. I remember the Reedy family as a young girl living in a little community called Dayhoit, Kentucky about five miles out of Harlan, I remember the radio program and listening to their music. This was wonderful to view this video. Wonderful memories of The Reedys.

Thanks so much! Be sure to check out our documentary project blog on the Reedys (remembereedy.blogspot.com). We'd love to talk to you about them and their radio program in Harlan
