Such a beautiful, simple gathering of family love & generational ties! It was wonderful to see the camera capture the faces of both young and old all singing this song. I have tears in my eyes!

Thank you so much for sharing this, Mr. Pickow! Jean Ritchie is one of my biggest influences as a singer.

Jesus Christ, I left out George Pickow, who is an American hero, and among those who know what matters, an Irish hero!

Back in the 1970s I met this lovely lady. I was aware of what she had done for my country, Ireland, and what she had done for her own country and particularly for her own community. I was running a Traditional Music club in Slattery's in Capel Street . Diane Hamilton said ' Here's Jean Ritchie' ...I nearly swooned. She sang for us, enchanted us with her own mountain ballads and sat afterwards and talked. Long life, Jean and John!
