I have a daughter about the same age. From the way Corie talks you can tell she is well educated and is articulate in her responses. She presents herself with poise and grace and appears grounded and self confident. She's a testament to good parenting and to the community in which she was raised. Cheers!
This is odd to say about someone who's ~26, but she reminds me of my granny. She's very grounded, very in tune with the culture and the way of life. The way she speaks and the way she expresses herself. My granny lived from 1919 to 1997...and seeing this girl crochet and talk about canning and gardening puts a smile on my face.
Wow this is a well grounded young lady with a good head on her shoulders. This is a great example of what parents dream there children will grow up to be. 100% aware of her surroundings and what it takes to make a good life for yourself. I’m so thankful I had opportunity to see this video and experience hope in the younger generation.
We had and have a culture worth saving!! This channel is so important to preserve our heritage, which is under attack every day. Oddly enough, I left the South and moved to mountainous Japan....out in the country. There’s just something about honest and simple people who love the sky and rivers and mountains; you find them the world over.
My husband’s stereotype of me was that I was more educated because I grew up in the city and he grew up very poor in the country. After marrying him I concluded that he is the one who was more educated. He could farm, garden, raise cows, chickens, hogs and horses, fish, hunt, fix a vehicle, do carpentry and found the time to play at events in a bluegrass band for 33 years. I knew with him I did not have to worry about not eating, not having a vehicle to drive and he was entertaining. He had the knowledge.
Never mistake education for intelligence or knowledge for wisdom. I am from and still live in East Tennessee. My Scots/Irish ancestors came to this area in the late 1600s. I love living in this area and will probably never move from here. I love your channel.
Yes, it is. And her knowing what's important to her heart now will save her so much heartache as she makes her way in this world. Seems like from the 1960s on till today, younger people were always in a frantic search for themselves and something to fill their lives and make them happy. Not entirely their fault because I feel movies, pop music, television all made them feel like whatever they had just wasn't enough. I also feel those days are coming to an end, praise God.
Foothills here. Went to school 3 hours away in NW Ohio. I was valedictorian and had a full ride, more or less, and I defy those that look down on Appalachia and rural people in general. Needless to say I didn't fit in, and while I value the education I received, those were some miserable years! Family all lived on the same hill... More or less still does. I wish I was half the man my grandpa was. Can't compliment you enough on what you put together with these videos.
The most "educated" person could read a book on anything, and still not know how to "do" any of it successfully. Some of my family don't have any type of "Official" degree of education. My dad hadn't finished the 8th grade, but he sure had a Ph.D. in Common Sense... Planting by the signs, delivering babies, living life off the land, helping a neighbor build their house, a barn or dig a well. Everyone is "uneducated" in some form or other.
Appalachians shouldn't worry about the 'stereotypes'. Most working class Americans see Appalachians as friendly, independent, industrious people, admired, not ridiculed. Beautiful channel, beautiful young woman.
I always marvel at the Appalachian accent. This is because as a child I was fixated on the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs. The fact is that if you listen to the ground control audio loops of almost any of those missions you will hear engineers talking and more often than not you would surely hear an Appalchian accent or two or three or more. These were the smartest people that the United States government could find to get an American safely to the moon and back. The stereotype of the "uneducated mountain man" was a myth which I believe is perpetrated by elites who take issue with the family and marriage and the ethical values of the people of Appalachia. The myth has nothing to do with reality.
You are right about stereotypes. To me, it speaks less well of those who use them than of those they stereotype. My Grandma Hutchins was born in Swain County in 1861. She went to college in Maryville TN in the late 1870s, an uncommon thing for a woman at that time. I never really knew her as she died when I was but 4 years old, but I do remember her speaking. It was funny, when she was with mountain people she spoke in their vernacular, but when with 'flatlanders' where I grew up and where she lived for a time, she lost most of the mountain speech. My Pa used to point out that she would say something like "uphill a goin' but downhill a comin'" when giving directions in the mountains. I don't know if it was intentional or just a learned habit. She read voraciously, especially The Holy Bible. She also read Charles Haddon Spurgeon's sermons and soliloquys and could recite passages from both quite extensively.
Love that she's crocheting while she's being interviewed! Watched the video with her and her grandma talking about crocheting, loved it. I crocheting everyday and agree with her grandma...crocheting helps fill the time and gives you plenty to give to others. Such sweet people in your videos! You're so blessed with good family.
I super love that she's crocheting. I learned from summers with my grandma. She had a huge garden and canned. Of course we helped. But living up north and not practicing this skills, I had to relearn them. I started with crochet at 19 an became obsessed. I love it.
I could listen to your girls talk all day. Corie is such a beautiful, smart and talented young lady. I love how she knows and understands that not all smart folks are school or college educated!
I love this channel. This entire family is amazing. Just about everything I've watched on this channel reminds me sooo much of how I grew up. How fortunate I am. The southwest Virginia mountains will always be home to me. I remember spending summers in the garden also. Picking green beans, stringing and breaking them and canning them. Working in the corn fields and gathering taters when they came in. Thank you ladies for your videos. A lot of these videos are blessings to me.
Love her! She represents the best in so many ways, doesn't she? Made me miss my grandmother listening to her talk. My dad, also. He used to "make music" with friends and I too used to go to sleep at night listening to the music through the floorboards.
What a wonderful beautiful young woman! I know you are very proud of your family. I just happened upon your videos...so glad I did. Everyone has a story and I am enjoying yours. I just lost my pup who was the world to me. Feeling very low but this just lift my spirits up and reminds me of very happy times with my parents who were Hungarians refugees from 1956. I was a 3month old when they escaped leaving behind their entire family. I grew up in upstate NewYork. Nothing like the city of New York. Lived close tothe Catskill Mt and Appalachian Trail. Did you say krick..creek? We lived near a krick called Wappingers. My Dad an mom had a huge garden and berry bushes. She put up a lot of tomatoes, beans, beets.
After traveling all over the usa , I believe the Appalachian region is the best place there is to live and raise a family. I grew up in western north Carolina and I know I'm partial , but after seeing the usa, our area is definitely the best ...thank you all always ....❤🙏
That was an absolutely wonderful interview. How amazing that Corie was able to zero in on all the really important Appalachian characteristics. And, how wonderful that she loves and appreciates them. I try to encourage this kind of thinking in my children and grandchildren because it is a precious and fading way of life. Maybe, by God's grace, we will hold on to, and perpetuate, Appalachian culture.
I've been tryin' to teach my boys to be proud Appalachians (not everyone is lucky enough to be from this area). Being from Northeast Tennessee, they are somewhat reluctant to speak like we do but I do hear it sometimes when they talk. Maybe as they get older they will come to realize what we have here. I myself am learning to do some cannin' from my folks as they are getting up in years. I should have learn't it years ago. I wasn't raised on a farm but we did some gardenin' every year. I never enjoyed doing it whilst I was young but now I have a garden myself, it is small but I grow what I like just the same. I'm glad I found your page and I will probably watch every video. Great work!
I spent years cleaning my language up in school now that I'm older I'm trying to undo what I cleaned up lol from a few comments on my channel I think I have done purtty good undoing things 😎
this series makes me teary eyed,in a woderful way. because it brings back so many memories of my grandma and grandp,and also the rest of my older family thats all gone.
That was a great interview. Chatter's low-pitched speaking voice makes an interesting contrast to your higher-pitched voice. Please keep these interviews coming. In fact, I suggest you make a playlist of interviews so we fans don't have to search 'em out or just come on 'em accidental like. Thank you for all you do.
My grandparents always had a big garden. This was in Illinois, but they were from Kentucky. They’re brothers and sisters, who lived in town, also had gardens at my grandparents’ place. Growing up next door, I spent as much time there as at home. I remember well stringing and snapping beans, picking and shelling peas, picking strawberries. Such great memories. Corrie is so right that practical knowledge is as important if not more so than schooling. Too many people don’t learn life skills anymore. She is fortunate enough to have both.
I’m 31 years old now. I grew up in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas until I was 13 when my folks moved here to north Georgia. Since then, I have completely embraced the culture of southern Appalachia and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. The geographic isolation that the mountains have provided for centuries has helped preserve the culture and the old time ways that I can’t get enough of. Foxfire books are some incredible resources for looking into the not so distant past of this area. Although I am not a true native of this region, I have come to think of myself as an Appalachian American and am proud to raise my children here in this area with “old school” values, work ethic, respect, music, sayings, and activities such as the ones discussed in this interview. I do not have a college degree but I’ll be working on my masters in real life studies with a minor in southern Appalachian culture for the rest of my life 🤣
So happy to have found this channel! I grew up in Kentucky, in the west end and loved every second of it. I enjoyed your interview so much, it brought back memories of the way my childhood life was. When my wife and I married, we continued the gardening and the canning and putting food up. But today, we don't and I miss that way of life so much. The one word that describes my life is LOVE! Love of my folks and all things life.
I loved this interview with Corie! I can't wait to show my son, Knox, a family name, from Knox county, TN! We love your videos! Knox also collects rocks & loved Corie's video about that! Thank you for putting out quality & accurate information on our Appalachian heritage! ❤ We are transplanted to the Mobile Bay Delta, so we still have the same small town, slower paced mentality. I call it Island Time, our County is a tourist destination in the summertime.
What a lovely young lady! She has her Mama’s eyes. You can tell she’s been raised right. Makes me want to move to Appalachia! But I bet the folks there would think I stuck out like a sore thumb being from California. I’d be the one w/the accent! No doubt you’re very blessed to live where you do.
I do enjoy your RUclips videos and your website, confession - I have to look more closely at that! But I watch a lot of your videos, and it's great to see Corey tell her stories. Tipper, I have so much respect for you for loving your heritage and sharing it so thoroughly and with love. I think the Appalachian spirit is closer to the real America than anything outside of the holler. By the way, I am a first generation German and Polish American, born and raised in New Jersey.
My grandparents had a fantastic garden. We lived in the English countryside and my grandfather was illiterate, but was a fantastic man of the land. He taught me so much. My grandmother had an amazing larder of pickles and jams (jelly in US). They lived with the seasons - no fridge or freezer.
Some of my best childhood memories are circled around music Grandpa playing his fiddle Grandma playing the piano uncle's playing guitars in the living room on the weekends or after supper time😁
....Very nice interview with a pleasant young lady. Nice that she speaks with such confidence but yet is so well grounded with family and country ways and was obviously raised by good Christian family....She will be able to do anything in life she sets her mind to....
Corie is so pretty and sweet. Loved the talk with her very much. Learned many things. In our family one would say she has an old soul. Meaning that even tho she is young, the old ways, older people, the treasures of how things were and people were, etc are what make a person who they are and the things that they love. She treasures those things and not just the " modern". Thank you Tipper and Corie ! ❤️❤️
Another great video! Well rounded young lady and you can tell she was raised RIGHT! I love the OLD TIME ways myself. My wife and I have often said we wish we would have been born a few generations earlier, But we also know that GOD allowing each of us to be born when we were suppose to be. But I do wish this world today was more like it was in our grandparents and great grandparents day. Thanks again. 😇🙏🏻
This is such a great video series, thx. We often use the the word educated to mean the amount of formal schooling. Lol, we know that sometimes PhD doesn't mean much, lol other than (P)iled (H)igher and (D)eeper, lol
Young Lady, You are a GEM ! The young man that someday wins your heart will be a blessed and lucky man indeed! I wish my son could find someone like you.
There are so many good points that this young lady makes that I can't even write a comment there is so much wisdom in her words and her opinions as well and I share a lot of them and nobody has understood me my entire life
I grew up in the mountains also NW Montana close to glacier national park ma canned everything we hunted fished n had chickens I remember taking trout or salmon sandwiches to school because we couldn't afford tuna I crochet also been doing it since I was 4
My Grandpa Lee Mounce played the mandolin. He and his brothers have an album "Music of the Ozarks" which is featured in one of the exhibits in the Smithsonian museum in DC. Funny thing is, we had just visited the Smithsonian museum BEFORE I found this out. if I had known I would have went and checked it out while I was there 😒 it's a long drive from Arkansas LOL
We have a vacation cabin in Mt. View AR (Ozarks) and visit whenever the kids have school breaks. They have similar culture in the Ozarks lovely, kind ,godly people. Similar music to yours...they have folk (?) music on the town square every Saturday evening but the style is slightly different than what I hear in your videos, have to say I like your style MUCH better!!!! Its so beautiful and relaxing! Love your videos so glad you came up in my suggestions : )
Such great insight. Life experience is the best teacher. Education is becoming more and more important because many jobs require it, but originally was mostly for a career. Not sure when the powers that be decided education alone determined intelligence. Appalachians have an advantage because they have the great outdoors to teach, and mostly have parents who teach them multiple skills. "Old timey" can teach us so much if we take the time to learn.
Just loved this ...This beautiful young lady is any parents dream..She knows who she is and her priorities are in order.. My large family are all from the mountains of WVa but transplanted into Indiana and I see how our mountain culture is disappearing from one generation to the next .. Thank you for this video and reminding me that there's still hope that my young cousins will hold on to some of the old ways from our mountain life! BTW, I've been to the most wonderful restraunt in Brasstown...If it's the same place your not too far from Murphy or rather Hayesville? We celebrate special occasions at that restraunt when we visit my sister in law who lives off old Highway 64 West around the Murphy area..
Minus a few months I work 30 years in a huge corporation. They still think a degree on a piece of paper is more valuable than what a person knows. Well, let's not tell them any different. Anyway, Corey, you can thank your parents for teaching you the right way. You are full of wisdom. Don't lose that. You will stay happy. God bless you, hubby and blessed Son who will soon be here. God bless Katie and Son too.
Omg she sounds exactly like you. I cant tell yall apart. The cadence and the influx is exactly the same. I love it 🤍 im on the older end of the generation lol im 33. My mom is 59 and ppl say the same about us and it makes me feel so proud when ppl say we look and sound alike.
I like the connection with music, I wouldn’t have found y’all if your video had not popped up in my feed after watching Old Leatherstockings, Clifton Hicks.
WOW! I just can't get enough of you and your life! I just found you yesterday and you and your family have completely stole my heart! Your girls are so sweet,intelligent,loving, humble and just amazing! You are surely proud beyond word's and what a wonderful family you have! What a breath of fresh air! Job well done! Take care of yourself and each other! 😊
Great Interview Ladies, still trying to catch up, in sharing a comment on all the Great Videos. Tipper when you ask Corie to sum up the Appalachian Life in one word, She hit the nail on the head with (Oldtimey).I Love It, Thanks 🙂
I really enjoy watching all of your videos, thank you for putting them together for all of us. My family and I are planning on moving out to eastern Tennessee soon and we can not wait. Thanks again for sharing your traditions and beautiful family with us. Jordan's wife, Sarah
Your culture reprents America and what it should be. I'm glad they're people out there like your family who are sharing and preserving these values. I prefer living in the South not because it has lower taxes and all but because of its people and culture.
I really love watching your videos. I am offically addicted. My name is Melissa and I love all things Country. I love how yall teach the way to cook or grow a garden. all of the different Views on life. yall have an awesome family.
I found your channel by accident, You Tube recommendations do work sometime. I've recommended your channel to several friends and family. Listening to you speak I hear my mom and grandmothe, she lived her entire life around Etowah. I was born in Hendersonville but lived most of my adult life in Maryland and Georgia. Moved back here two years ago and now live in Edneyville. I sent Katie's jewelry video to my sister who is also a silver smith and lapidary artist. She has taken many classes at William Holland. Your girls are fine young women, I'm sure you are proud of them, and rightfully so.
Cory, and Tipper, I have not cried secretly before while looking at a video. Today I cried. Cory, you are not backward. The principals you live by are few and far between. Not many are blessed like you are. I raised a Son by myself and two daughters (Nieces). Who are my Daughter's (family do not understand that). Additionally, I raised them in the nurture and admission of God. Today, the girls won't have anything to do with we. So, you can see why I understand why Family is so important. What a blessing you are to your Parents; Matt and Tipper.
Sorry, didn't mean to send. I'd give all I have (to have a Family such as yours). You have more wisdom than your time, Cory; most people do not. I wish you could be my daughter in law. My Son is 47. Never been married and no children. I want Grandchildren. God bless you and your Family. I'm happy for you all.
You are right sweet thing, I speak Country and people judge me for that. I have never gone to college, but my sister did. Mama use to tell me that I should have been the one to go to college, but my education is just common sense, and I learned to do lots of things from watching my Mama and my grandparents. Music is the love of my life! I can't read it but I can play it. Blessings
💛🌻💛🌻💛 I am green with Appalachia envy.! Mostly about the music. And I live in N. Georgia. (I’ve been to Black Mountain. Beautiful place.) I love how this beautiful young woman loves and respects her people. 💛🌻💛🌻💛
I was born in WV, however, I didn't have an accent. My accent is a "General American" accent, so people on the west coast usually think I am from the East coast, and people from the East coast think I might be from the West coast. It was due to my mother...She always knew I would want to live in a large city one day, so she didn't want me to retain an accent. I know it is bad, but it is an unfortunate truth that having a southern accent can hinder your success and advancement in a larger coastal city. People do make unjust judgments based on accents. My mother would correct my speech constantly as a child, and she also sent me to someone she was friends with who was an English Professor at Marshall University to work on my diction and also placed me in an etiquette course when I was a teenager. I found it annoying at the time, but I understand her reasoning when thinking back to it. Though I definitely prefer living in a larger cosmopolitan lifestyle "I live in Shenzhen, mainland China about 11 months out of the year...a high-tech futuristic-looking city with a population of around 13 million people. When in the US, I live in downtown Denver, Colorado", I still look back fondly on where I was raised. Appalachia is a beautiful part of the country with many wonderful people.
I grew up in Scottsboro, AL I consider Appalachia mainly the Smokey Mountain region of North East Alabama, East Tennessee up to West Virginia. I know Appalachia is considered to be a lot larger than that but as you branch out from the Smokey Mountains the culture changes more. My accent I sound like people from Murfreesboro, TN if I told you I was from Murfreesboro you would never know the difference. Know I live in Lawrenceville, GA and this is considered to be in the larger area of Appalachia but it is different from Appalachia of the Smokey Mountains. By the way the Smokey Mountains start in North East Alabama that is the oldest part of the mountain range.
I love this interview I like the word she chose old-timey but I've always been one also that live to my family's traditions or what I felt like my family's traditions were
This country would be a better place with more young people like Corie.
You said it best, Sir
Amen Amen
Mama did an excellent job in raising her. We need more youngins like this!
I have a daughter about the same age. From the way Corie talks you can tell she is well educated and is articulate in her responses. She presents herself with poise and grace and appears grounded and self confident. She's a testament to good parenting and to the community in which she was raised. Cheers!
standing here, eating a peanut butter sandwich at 3:45am, watching this lovely video before a blissful sleep. thank you for it!

We had and have a culture worth saving!! This channel is so important to preserve our heritage, which is under attack every day.
Oddly enough, I left the South and moved to mountainous Japan....out in the country. There’s just something about honest and simple people who love the sky and rivers and mountains; you find them the world over.
Oh how I pray for a young lady just like her for my son. How refreshing and inspiring!
Shes a breath of fresh air! She is more grounded than most adults I know! Pretty too!
Gorgeous!
Solid as a rock, young lady. Good parents were her blessing!
My husband’s stereotype of me was that I was more educated because I grew up in the city and he grew up very poor in the country. After marrying him I concluded that he is the one who was more educated. He could farm, garden, raise cows, chickens, hogs and horses, fish, hunt, fix a vehicle, do carpentry and found the time to play at events in a bluegrass band for 33 years. I knew with him I did not have to worry about not eating, not having a vehicle to drive and he was entertaining. He had the knowledge.
She has an old soul. She's wonderful!
Never mistake education for intelligence or knowledge for wisdom. I am from and still live in East Tennessee. My Scots/Irish ancestors came to this area in the late 1600s. I love living in this area and will probably never move from here. I love your channel.
Me to love it
Or right and wrong for legal and illegal.
Very refreshing to hear a young lady appreciate her roots & family heritage! Bravo!
Yes, it is. And her knowing what's important to her heart now will save her so much heartache as she makes her way in this world. Seems like from the 1960s on till today, younger people were always in a frantic search for themselves and something to fill their lives and make them happy. Not entirely their fault because I feel movies, pop music, television all made them feel like whatever they had just wasn't enough. I also feel those days are coming to an end, praise God.

Such a wise young lady. Beautiful, talented, grounded. I wish I’d been as wise at 24! Love your story, your family, your Appalachia❤️🇺🇸

Love her! She represents the best in so many ways, doesn't she?
Made me miss my grandmother listening to her talk. My dad, also. He used to "make music" with friends and I too used to go to sleep at night listening to the music through the floorboards.
What a wonderful beautiful young woman! I know you are very proud of your family. I just happened upon your videos...so glad I did. Everyone has a story and I am enjoying yours. I just lost my pup who was the world to me. Feeling very low but this just lift my spirits up and reminds me of very happy times with my parents who were Hungarians refugees from 1956.

She’s a millennial with an old soul❤️😊
Greetings from a California millennial! I'd love to visit Appalachia sometime
this series makes me teary eyed,in a woderful way. because it brings back so many memories of my grandma and grandp,and also the rest of my older family thats all gone.
I love hearing all the stories you guys tell. You are recording an oral history for future generations.
I love looking back at your older videos! 🙏🇨🇦❤️
That was a great interview. Chatter's low-pitched speaking voice makes an interesting contrast to your higher-pitched voice. Please keep these interviews coming. In fact, I suggest you make a playlist of interviews so we fans don't have to search 'em out or just come on 'em accidental like.
Thank you for all you do.
Awesome!!! What an intelligent yet down to earth daughter! Love love love! BLESSINGS!!!
My grandparents always had a big garden. This was in Illinois, but they were from Kentucky. They’re brothers and sisters, who lived in town, also had gardens at my grandparents’ place. Growing up next door, I spent as much time there as at home. I remember well stringing and snapping beans, picking and shelling peas, picking strawberries. Such great memories.
Corrie is so right that practical knowledge is as important if not more so than schooling. Too many people don’t learn life skills anymore. She is fortunate enough to have both.
God bless this young lady she’s a breath of fresh air
I’m 31 years old now. I grew up in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas until I was 13 when my folks moved here to north Georgia. Since then, I have completely embraced the culture of southern Appalachia and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. The geographic isolation that the mountains have provided for centuries has helped preserve the culture and the old time ways that I can’t get enough of. Foxfire books are some incredible resources for looking into the not so distant past of this area. Although I am not a true native of this region, I have come to think of myself as an Appalachian American and am proud to raise my children here in this area with “old school” values, work ethic, respect, music, sayings, and activities such as the ones discussed in this interview. I do not have a college degree but I’ll be working on my masters in real life studies with a minor in southern Appalachian culture for the rest of my life 🤣
Thank you!!
So happy to have found this channel! I grew up in Kentucky, in the west end and loved every second of it. I enjoyed your interview so much, it brought back memories of the way my childhood life was. When my wife and I married, we continued the gardening and the canning and putting food up. But today, we don't and I miss that way of life so much.
The one word that describes my life is LOVE! Love of my folks and all things life.
I'm happy you found me too! Thank you for watching and for sharing your story 😀
What a nice interview. I’m from georgia, but I always longed to live in the mountains.
If you go to college doesn't always mean you're smart...experience and common sense is priceless.
I support furthering your education, although it has never been an indication of intelligence, for me.
I loved this interview with Corie! I can't wait to show my son, Knox, a family name, from Knox county, TN! We love your videos! Knox also collects rocks & loved Corie's video about that! Thank you for putting out quality & accurate information on our Appalachian heritage! ❤ We are transplanted to the Mobile Bay Delta, so we still have the same small town, slower paced mentality. I call it Island Time, our County is a tourist destination in the summertime.
She is literally one in a million,, and she's so dang cute!
What a lovely young lady! She has her Mama’s eyes. You can tell she’s been raised right. Makes me want to move to Appalachia! But I bet the folks there would think I stuck out like a sore thumb being from California. I’d be the one w/the accent!
No doubt you’re very blessed to live where you do.
I do enjoy your RUclips videos and your website, confession - I have to look more closely at that! But I watch a lot of your videos, and it's great to see Corey tell her stories. Tipper, I have so much respect for you for loving your heritage and sharing it so thoroughly and with love. I think the Appalachian spirit is closer to the real America than anything outside of the holler. By the way, I am a first generation German and Polish American, born and raised in New Jersey.
Thank you Trish 🙂
My grandparents had a fantastic garden. We lived in the English countryside and my grandfather was illiterate, but was a fantastic man of the land. He taught me so much. My grandmother had an amazing larder of pickles and jams (jelly in US). They lived with the seasons - no fridge or freezer.
Some of my best childhood memories are circled around music Grandpa playing his fiddle Grandma playing the piano uncle's playing guitars in the living room on the weekends or after supper time😁
....Very nice interview with a pleasant young lady. Nice that she speaks with such confidence but yet is so well grounded with family and country ways and was obviously raised by good Christian family....She will be able to do anything in life she sets her mind to....
Corie is so pretty and sweet. Loved the talk with her very much. Learned many things. In our family one would say she has an old soul. Meaning that even tho she is young, the old ways, older people, the treasures of how things were and people were, etc are what make a person who they are and the things that they love. She treasures those things and not just the " modern". Thank you Tipper and Corie ! ❤️❤️
Another great video! Well rounded young lady and you can tell she was raised RIGHT! I love the OLD TIME ways myself. My wife and I have often said we wish we would have been born a few generations earlier, But we also know that GOD allowing each of us to be born when we were suppose to be. But I do wish this world today was more like it was in our grandparents and great grandparents day. Thanks again. 😇🙏🏻
Oh shes adorable.love her.so solid down to earth and beautiful.
Wonderful interview with a bright beautiful young woman of Appalachia!
Yes she's pretty special : )
This is such a great video series, thx. We often use the the word educated to mean the amount of formal schooling. Lol, we know that sometimes PhD doesn't mean much, lol other than (P)iled (H)igher and (D)eeper, lol
YOUR WAY OF GIVING OUT OUR INFO IN SUCH A POSITIVE WAY, WITH NO HILLBILLY CONNOTATIONS.
She is one young lady I would love to just have tea with. She is great.
Young Lady, You are a GEM ! The young man that someday wins your heart will be a blessed and lucky man indeed! I wish my son could find someone like you.
I love watching you talk and crochet.
Gosh what a Fabulous young woman she is !!! Absolutely loved this!!!!! 💕💕
Wow!
What a lovely, intelligent, young lady! I know you are proud!
❤️
There are so many good points that this young lady makes that I can't even write a comment there is so much wisdom in her words and her opinions as well and I share a lot of them and nobody has understood me my entire life
What a lovely interview. Well done.
I grew up in the mountains also NW Montana close to glacier national park ma canned everything we hunted fished n had chickens I remember taking trout or salmon sandwiches to school because we couldn't afford tuna I crochet also been doing it since I was 4
Sweet girl! I know you’re so proud of her.
Such beauty and brilliance, thank you lord!
My Grandpa Lee Mounce played the mandolin. He and his brothers have an album "Music of the Ozarks" which is featured in one of the exhibits in the Smithsonian museum in DC.
Funny thing is, we had just visited the Smithsonian museum BEFORE I found this out. if I had known I would have went and checked it out while I was there 😒 it's a long drive from Arkansas LOL
We have a vacation cabin in Mt. View AR (Ozarks) and visit whenever the kids have school breaks. They have similar culture in the Ozarks lovely, kind ,godly people. Similar music to yours...they have folk (?) music on the town square every Saturday evening but the style is slightly different than what I hear in your videos, have to say I like your style MUCH better!!!! Its so beautiful and relaxing! Love your videos so glad you came up in my suggestions : )
Corie is beautiful. Inside and out!
Thank You for this channel. I'm learning so much. Glad the info is being passed on. 😍 Rich history fer sure!
Such great insight. Life experience is the best teacher. Education is becoming more and more important because many jobs require it, but originally was mostly for a career. Not sure when the powers that be decided education alone determined intelligence. Appalachians have an advantage because they have the great outdoors to teach, and mostly have parents who teach them multiple skills. "Old timey" can teach us so much if we take the time to learn.
Shirley-so glad you enjoyed the video!
Just loved this ...This beautiful young lady is any parents dream..She knows who she is and her priorities are in order..
My large family are all from the mountains of WVa but transplanted into Indiana and I see how our mountain culture is disappearing from one generation to the next ..
Thank you for this video and reminding me that there's still hope that my young cousins will hold on to some of the old ways from our mountain life! BTW, I've been to the most wonderful restraunt in Brasstown...If it's the same place your not too far from Murphy or rather Hayesville? We celebrate special occasions at that restraunt when we visit my sister in law who lives off old Highway 64 West around the Murphy area..
Minus a few months I work 30 years in a huge corporation. They still think a degree on a piece of paper is more valuable than what a person knows. Well, let's not tell them any different. Anyway, Corey, you can thank your parents for teaching you the right way. You are full of wisdom. Don't lose that. You will stay happy. God bless you, hubby and blessed Son who will soon be here. God bless Katie and Son too.
Omg she sounds exactly like you. I cant tell yall apart. The cadence and the influx is exactly the same. I love it 🤍 im on the older end of the generation lol im 33. My mom is 59 and ppl say the same about us and it makes me feel so proud when ppl say we look and sound alike.
I like the connection with music, I wouldn’t have found y’all if your video had not popped up in my feed after watching Old Leatherstockings, Clifton Hicks.
WOW! I just can't get enough of you and your life! I just found you yesterday and you and your family have completely stole my heart! Your girls are so sweet,intelligent,loving, humble and just amazing! You are surely proud beyond word's and what a wonderful family you have! What a breath of fresh air! Job well done! Take care of yourself and each other! 😊
Brandi-You made my day!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! And for watching! I hope you continue to enjoy what we do!!
Great Interview Ladies, still trying to catch up, in sharing a comment on all the Great Videos. Tipper when you ask Corie to sum up the Appalachian Life in one word, She hit the nail on the head with (Oldtimey).I Love It, Thanks 🙂
I really enjoy watching all of your videos, thank you for putting them together for all of us. My family and I are planning on moving out to eastern Tennessee soon and we can not wait. Thanks again for sharing your traditions and beautiful family with us. Jordan's wife, Sarah
How delightful. Don't stop the interviews!
Thank you! I hope to do a lot of interviews : )
Your culture reprents America and what it should be. I'm glad they're people out there like your family who are sharing and preserving these values. I prefer living in the South not because it has lower taxes and all but because of its people and culture.
I love living in Mississippi because of our culture and food.
Excellent job with your first interview! And better yet your first attempt at motherhood.
Papaw-thank you!!
I’ve watched a lot of your content and videos and I just want to say that I love your closing statement that you use every time.
😀 Thank you!
I loved it ! What wonderful young ladies you all raised .
Sheila-you are too sweet! You've practically watched them grow up : ) We appreciate you supporting us all these years!
Thank you i really enjoyed that. When i do get to come home I dont hear any accents it only when I leaveand go some were else
Such a beautiful and Smart young lady!
You are smart and wise beyond your years . Y'all raised two good girls.
I really love watching your videos. I am offically addicted. My name is Melissa and I love all things Country. I love how yall teach the way to cook or grow a garden. all of the different Views on life. yall have an awesome family.
Thank you so much!!
I found your channel by accident, You Tube recommendations do work sometime. I've recommended your channel to several friends and family. Listening to you speak I hear my mom and grandmothe, she lived her entire life around Etowah. I was born in Hendersonville but lived most of my adult life in Maryland and Georgia. Moved back here two years ago and now live in Edneyville. I sent Katie's jewelry video to my sister who is also a silver smith and lapidary artist. She has taken many classes at William Holland. Your girls are fine young women, I'm sure you are proud of them, and rightfully so.
Thank you Randy! So glad you're enjoying our videos-thank you for sharing!! Maybe your sister will get to meet Katie sometime 😀
Cory, and Tipper, I have not cried secretly before while looking at a video. Today I cried. Cory, you are not backward. The principals you live by are few and far between. Not many are blessed like you are. I raised a Son by myself and two daughters (Nieces). Who are my Daughter's (family do not understand that). Additionally, I raised them in the nurture and admission of God. Today, the girls won't have anything to do with we. So, you can see why I understand why Family is so important. What a blessing you are to your Parents; Matt and Tipper.
Sorry, didn't mean to send. I'd give all I have (to have a Family such as yours). You have more wisdom than your time, Cory; most people do not. I wish you could be my daughter in law. My Son is 47. Never been married and no children. I want Grandchildren. God bless you and your Family. I'm happy for you all.
Thank you Barbara!!
Interesting interview. Makes me think of my growing up in the South.
You are right sweet thing, I speak Country and people judge me for that. I have never gone to college, but my sister did. Mama use to tell me that I should have been the one to go to college, but my education is just common sense, and I learned to do lots of things from watching my Mama and my grandparents. Music is the love of my life! I can't read it but I can play it. Blessings
💛🌻💛🌻💛
I am green with Appalachia envy.! Mostly about the music.
And I live in N. Georgia.
(I’ve been to Black Mountain. Beautiful place.)
I love how this beautiful young woman loves and respects her people.
💛🌻💛🌻💛
Sweet girl. Enjoy your videos. Our daughters are about the same age. Family memories are priceless treasures we give our kids.
Such a beautiful and mature young lady!
All I can say is what a blessed man to get to have this virtuous young woman as a wife and mother to his children God Bless you
Very interesting video and enjoyable. One question for you Corie: what were the employment opportunities for you like after completing your degree?
I was born in WV, however, I didn't have an accent. My accent is a "General American" accent, so people on the west coast usually think I am from the East coast, and people from the East coast think I might be from the West coast. It was due to my mother...She always knew I would want to live in a large city one day, so she didn't want me to retain an accent. I know it is bad, but it is an unfortunate truth that having a southern accent can hinder your success and advancement in a larger coastal city. People do make unjust judgments based on accents. My mother would correct my speech constantly as a child, and she also sent me to someone she was friends with who was an English Professor at Marshall University to work on my diction and also placed me in an etiquette course when I was a teenager. I found it annoying at the time, but I understand her reasoning when thinking back to it. Though I definitely prefer living in a larger cosmopolitan lifestyle "I live in Shenzhen, mainland China about 11 months out of the year...a high-tech futuristic-looking city with a population of around 13 million people. When in the US, I live in downtown Denver, Colorado", I still look back fondly on where I was raised. Appalachia is a beautiful part of the country with many wonderful people.
I grew up in Scottsboro, AL I consider Appalachia mainly the Smokey Mountain region of North East Alabama, East Tennessee up to West Virginia. I know Appalachia is considered to be a lot larger than that but as you branch out from the Smokey Mountains the culture changes more. My accent I sound like people from Murfreesboro, TN if I told you I was from Murfreesboro you would never know the difference. Know I live in Lawrenceville, GA and this is considered to be in the larger area of Appalachia but it is different from Appalachia of the Smokey Mountains. By the way the Smokey Mountains start in North East Alabama that is the oldest part of the mountain range.
Thank you so very much 💕
I found myself agreeing with everything she said. So intelligent beyond her year's.
I enjoy listening to Corie.
Church, family, music, and good raising.
I love this interview I like the word she chose old-timey but I've always been one also that live to my family's traditions or what I felt like my family's traditions were
