@gngranger there is an incredible dvd out by John Cohen that documents his visits to Daisy, KY and Roscoe Holcomb. Highly recommend it. Find it on Amazon

The old "High Lonesome" sound is sadly lost to us now. Stanley,Flatts and Roscoe Holcome were the last of their breed. I grew up in WV and still remember families who played these old songs together at pig roasts and the such, They all lived pretty much in poverty and little to no education, but boyhowdy they could play like the dickens .We'd be eating,drinkin shine/homebrew and singin all night long. I miss those days, and now i have to watch this on youtube instead of live.

Where is this footage from?

@crabtrap I'm listening to this, so obviously I haven't been completely corrupted. I'm just saying that this spirit and soulfullness is still alive and well in the world; it is not completely gone. Guitar Hero and the like are just games, they have nothing to do with music outside of themselves.
pre-internet,when instead of watching people play across the world on utube,we actually walked across the street and played/sang with them . now we play fake instruments on XBOX . stupid
