    Being here in Arkansas and born here I'm glad to hear you play Arkansas Traveler. Sometimes we are overlooked but Arkansas and Southern Missouri have a strong bluegrass culture that was settled by Appalachians Mountain people that moved west here In Arkansas and Missouri in the Ozark and Ouachita mountains. Arkansas Traveler was not only a fiddle tune but a story about Arkansas. Some versions are positive and some negative about our Hillbilly reputation of an outsider traveling through Arkansas.

    • @DaltonHBrown
      @DaltonHBrown 4 года назад +8

      The settlers continued on and settled Oklahoma as well. But that was mostly forgotten, likely due to the Dust Bowl driving many out to the west coast.

    • @MrRexquando
      @MrRexquando 4 года назад

      @@HillaryKlug Wow hard to describe the why. I think because the instruments are complimentary with the smooth fiddle and hammering banjo but at the same time going the same chord progressions. It is both beautiful but extremely playful and repetitive enough to keep you hooked. It sounds like it feels to be going fast on a hot day on a boat with a sporty chop on the ocean.
