The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore - Jean Ritchie cover

I was behind the camera and edited the video. Excellent playing and singing by Dean at a meeting of the Queen City Harmonica Club in Cincinnati. The song has long been a favorite of mine, so I came home and spent 5 hours straight putting this together. I'm not obsessed or anything, though.

@1958wvpicker Thanks, although the singer was the one with the talent. As for the pictures, nothing beats google. Listened to the song bit by bit, and searched for related photos. I downloaded 57 pictures, used about 32 of them. Anyway, my grandpa and 2grandfather were both miners and later mine inspectors. I have vivid memories of going into a mine with my grandpa when I was eight. I recently drove through Grafton WV, the now-dying town my mom came from. This piece really resonates with me.
