Never been to Virginia but would love to visit it some day. Would have to find someone to milk the cows first :)
Both Songs by Doc & Merle Watson - Blue ridge mountain blues was written in 1924 by a guy called Cliff Ness who was born and raised in Caroline County VA. Great song but i don't understand the verse "My grip is packed to travel and I'm scratching gravel" ??????
Tune at the end of the video is called Carroll County blues

  • Just back from "Blue Ridge mountains" Virginia.

    We were there just for holidays and we fell in love.....with the "Blue Ridge mountains" of Virginia.

    In that holiday we have bought a big plot in the forest to build a house. That is how beautiful the "Blue Ridge" is.

    Oh, I forgot, We live beautifully in Spain (Europe) at the coast of the blue Med......but we are leaving for the "Blue Ridge mountains" of Virginia.

    Nice people too.

  • Sounds idyllic ! Good luck in VA :)

  • He is singing about the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina (Caroline), which is where I live. Doc Watson grew up about 20 minutes from my house.I actually have a herd of Black Angus we keep for beef, but the land doesn't lend itself to farming on a large scale, as the ground is too rocky. It's great for Christmas trees and cows though!

  • Interesting. Sounds like the family farm is in a beautiful location.

    Thanks for commenting :)

  • I'm a Carroll County girl also!

  • Is your dairy farm located in Carroll county ?
