Very informative. Thank you for this! I feel as though many people are ignorant as to where this music came from, and I value this bit of education! Thank You!!

@CaintuckHillbilly I hope so to i am from England for a time believed the dreadful stereotype that the liberal media protrayed the mountain people hillbillies dumb and racist . Thanks to Earl Hamner jr and his great show the Waltons and docus like this it made me question the stereotype and my what a interesting culture and history so rich and needs to be taught to the schools in my opinion.

We are a very misunderstood people, and maybe one day we will cease being treated like a third world country.

The famous English folk song collector, Cecil Sharp, went to America after he'd finished in Britain and travelled the Appalachian Mountains extensively and came back with a well-known local folk song, the Derby Ram.
