This is straight up mountain, folk, viking and Scottish all in one. Am I born too die is an amazing song I first discovered watching cold mountain.

Tobacco contains nicotine which is highly addictive and causes numerous diseases depending on its vehicle of delivery such as smoking and chewing.....millions have died from it over time....some products are a safer way to get nicotine such as using the patch, gum, lozenge, oral mist and inhaler.

Okay, this legit sounds like a cross between Gregorian chanting and Irish lilting….and I love love *love* it!!

--- and the photographs.

Loved the story and history lesson. Rare people . Such grit ! And Kat has a timeless beauty.

These places are being taken over by people with no ties to the land nowadays. It’s all about those with the money now purchasing the land from those willing to let go of long time family property. I live in Hiawassee ga in the mountains and there’s so much money coming up from Atlanta and other places like that purchasing big tracts of land and developing it one way or another. It’s changed so much in the last 20 years. Places like this will be no more or the people the land created. It’s very sad. Progress is ruining most simple good things it think. My husband’s family used to own over 300 acres around here and they sold it off slowly bc no one wanted to work the land anymore as the old generations died off. So my husband’s cousins sold their shares of the land for nothing basically and sought contemporary jobs elsewhere. It would be a small fortune nowadays but as it stands we still do have 30 acres of it. Like I said it’s changed so much with vacationers all year long now and rental cabins and gigantic 2nd homes popping up all over what used to be beautiful mountains. The views are interrupted and it’s not peaceful countryside anymore. I’d say most people come to places like this and have no clue of the history nor do they care. So it’s sad to see it going away more and more and faster each year that passes. We will hang in there and remember and respect the hardworking generations who settled here so long ago and pass it on to our grandchildren who basically aren’t interested but maybe one day will remember what we tried to pass on to them about their tough as nails ancestors. They would be shocked to see the old home places covered over in the name of progress. Such is life

Fascinating

Beautiful.

Would like to know the name of that tune played near the end of this video. Sweet pickin' there !

I am a baptized orthodox Christian and a tiny Old Regular Baptist church is about a quarter mile up the road. I am going to their business meeting once a month to hear this singing and I know I can’t be one of them but I surely do love them. They have been my good neighbors for the thirty years I have lived here.

Is that beautiful girl married

Built around a 1 4, do fa harmony. Common in Uillan pipe and bagpipe music. Heard in black gospel and North African sufi music, as well as Eastern European music. The Beatles used it a lot. This is a very pure example.

Lot of hard work .but it is good .I love eating it

Yep this was the good old days.

I just found your channel. I really enjoyed hearing Jancer's story..and seeing how very happy he is. Thank you so much. Now I will spend a lot of time in the next few days watching everything you have recorded. Best wishes Maria in Alabama. I'm a 72 yr old widow and I hope I stay as healthy and able to garden as long as he has so far !

Beautiful! We sing like this in Albania too. My family is from Laberia. The Lab people have sung this for generations and I pray we continue to. Here is a video of our singing ruclips.net/video/y5g6bBeXHtU/видео.htmlsi=DbRKtuMaqG_XuXg0

I remember this, from a past life.

I definitely enjoyed this and experience good chills from it as well. It has a lose, emotional free spirit with the harmony. It kind of plots between the more organized harmony singing and the old way of singing style ‘line out’ originally from England and Scotland, that still survives today to some extent on both sides of the Atlantic. Thanks for the video:)

its called Sean Nos (My keyboard won't spell its truly correctly) but google Sean nos signing and enjoy - its not Scottish, but Irish

Beautiful! Appalachia, meet the Isle of Lewis: ruclips.net/video/k3MzZgPBL3Q/видео.html

Best video ive seen in a long time

My Great Grandfather Deputy William "Little Bill" Burleson was shot by a moonshine operator. I was told he was carried to the Plumtree Burleson store and this is where he passed away from the shot to his abdomen.

Reminds me a lot of the Psalms sung in Scots Gaelic ruclips.net/video/6S3XDunMj2Y/видео.htmlsi=zJ4fGfkVkp2zC9Eo

Good story❤

The notes are in the same places on the staff. I don't understand why having a shape is easier to remember than where the note is on the staff. High notes are high, and low notes are low. There are 8 notes in the scale, but only 4 shapes, so a square can be a number of different notes. I have a shape note hymn book and the corresponding regular note book. I find it easier to sing from the regular book. The shape notes are too "busy" on the page and are distracting. BTW, I keep hearing "shape note singing" like it's not just singing.

Very wise, man. ❤️

Dreadful !

This is amazing how everyone is supposed to be to each other i would give anything to live around amazing people like this ❤❤

These are great videos.

I’m not religeous but it’s beautiful to hear a group of human beings sing so.

Lovely penmanship on the captions. Apostrophe omitted from the one showing a woman at her brother’s grave, but so nice to see good handwriting again.

What sweet disposition and smile he has. This is the true American way. Our own land being self sufficient and helping our neighbors.

My kind of harmony singing❤❤❤

This man nailed it. He is correct. Greed is killing us and this nation.

The algorithm knows what we write now, I guess. I was just writing some family history to my nephew, and then this came up on you tube as a suggestion. It can't be a coincidence.

My family raised tobacco in Henry County Virginia

Just love this so much!!❤❤❤

this is like the American version of byzantine and Georgian chant

Gòod people❤

In the 1970s I was part of a performance group in Los Angeles that did all kinds of American folk dance and music, and we learned some shape note hymns. Singing those wonderful harmonies -- tenors, altos, sopranos, and bass -- was one of my favorite experiences. Then, many years later while researching my genealogy, I discovered that my 3rd great-grandfather is Benjamin Franklin White, one of the authors of The Original Sacred Harp songbook. What a God-shot!

I love this video, the knowledge this gentleman has. And his daughter, and you can tell how much she loves her dad. Great interview. Although I got to get up and get something to eat they got me hungry talking about biscuits and cornbread😂

This calls to my Scots-Irish DNA!

Sounds very like the Irish.

In the early '70s, I lived for a few years in Otway, OH. The little bitty church I went to had shape note hymnals. I didn't really know how shape notes worked, but fortunately, I already knew the songs.

YOU WANT "AMERICA"? Tell me THIS is not "AMERICA"~!

is there a place where I can find this recording? I love it!!! Thank you for sharing
