    Wow. That's such a moving rendition. So deeply beautiful in a time when so many folks seem to feel compelled to play old-time tunes at breakneck speed.

      When I discovered old-timey music in 1983, I concluded that much of bluegrass music was old-timey, played as fast as one can!

      Looking at the year we've all had I think there's fair case for taking on the hardship that is inevitable from branching into parallel society and living a life closer to the freedom the big man had planned for us. Two acoustic instrument and genuine souls singing has tears welling up in my eyes, there's virtually nothing in the music of the machine does that for me. Wishing all brothers and sisters in the rockies peace and freedom all the way from the Scottish Highlands.

      Performing in the UP of Michigan. The trees and ferns are familiar. Lovely part of Michigan, maybe more like Appalachia.
      Got wolves. Moose, Mines, Pasties and a few mountains. A lot of waterfalls and Lakes Superior and Michigan.
      The Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island will take you back into the 1800s and you feel very special.
      This music is perfect for the beauty of the land. Good work.

    This beauteous melody resonates with the strings of the heart. A heart having been parted wide open with the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. The pining lyrical ballad of the lover to their mate that they are ne'er to see again. A haunting verse; the beauty in the pain. So well done you two, I look forward to seeing you live in the near future.

    God. So beautiful you brought tears to my eyes. I came on RUclips looking for other versions to supplement Brad Leftwich's round peak banjo tuition. I was purring at the fiddle intonation and gorgeous slow double stops, and then you starting singing... and then you both started singing. Wow. Wow. Thank you so much, this feels like finding a piece of treasure.

    This is one of the outstanding performances shared by truly talented folks. The symetry of the lead voice coupled with the violin....accompanied by the d tuned guitar and parallel harmony of that fella' has put this at the top of acoustic perfection. All in front of an outhouse. Melodic perfection.....words from a breaking heart.
