I do too. The banjo is so skillful and magical and the tap steps of D Ray White himself, the legend of dancing mountain men, are amazingly good! God bless the Wild and Wonderful White family of West Virginia! Never wanna lose this video? Download it so you never lose it! Google: RUclips downloader. All the best!
The reason it gives anyone goosebumps is because it’s real and pure. Both of them are playing with God given talent. They are naturals at what they do. No pyrotechnics, no backup dancers to obscure their weaknesses. They perform because they have to. They perform because they know that what they do, makes others happy and filled with joy. Which in turn brings the artist happy. There are no middle men. Sorry if I am rambling.
What an unbelievable talent this man was. Even if you don't like this kind of music you can't help but admire D Ray's connection to self expression and creativity.
RIP Dunk. 7/1/2019 Played hundreds of hours of Bluegrass with Dunk at Pickin in the Park Logan State Park over the last 13 years. Have a hard time thinking it will be the same at all without him there. His root-authentic banjo style has been a staple in Logan for decades - since the start. RIP Dunk - you will be very very missed. Pick one out with Bill up there today.
I love D. Ray. This is actually my favourite rendition of "Get Along Home Cindy". There are so many of them, but something about his picking on the 'jo, and D Ray singing and dancing.. fucking incredible.
I love this so much. I clogged in my teen years and everyone would tell me I clogged flat footed. The dance group I was with was much more into modern dance styles. I danced like this guy and now he's my hero. Makes me want to clog again.
It’s so good. I love all kinds of music spanning rock, jazz, blues and even hip hop. D Rae was really a special person. I can see he had something inside of him that allowed him to go to a place that most people can’t go. Jesco has the gift as well. Love watching them both.
+thomas dupont hahaha!,don't you believe it!, there's a big bluegrass following over here,once you learn how to make a banjer ring,you'll always be in a happy place,believe it!!
what? people in England love our hillbilly stuff? I'm from the Smokys, from the same town Dolly Parton is from. why would you guys love our culture so much? that's weird to me.
@@cornpop1363 probably because we came from the British isles originally before we ended up in the hills of Appalachia....most of our old mountain songs came from England and Scotland. They are our ancient kin folk.
its like looking into a time capsule, these kind of people are rapidly leaving this world and they may already be gone. Its beautiful, but at the same time theres a sadness knowing that this kind of thing may never happen again.
I'm here from watching the dancing outlaw,about his son,,Jesco White,,,and I heard/seen this performance on it,I can't seem to get it out my head, so back for more!
I'm highly impressed at how much of an all around musician D. Ray White was. Back then it was extremely hard to get noticed by the music industry but this man had the musician talent that it takes to make it big. I say this because its obvious tap dancing wasn't his only skill. He can also sing but most importantly he was entertainer. This man worked the audience, making them enjoy his show & his talent.
The uptempo version of Cindy with the flawless banjo playing by the gentleman in the chair and Donald Ray White just a-tearing up some high school gym floor with his magic feet and magic shoes in the middle of Appalachia, just having crawled out of a hollar in Boone County, I tell you, it tickles this Canadian just right! Regards to the White family and all involved in the lives of the Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia! RIP D. Ray White
American mountain dancing looks like a heavy metal moshpit compared with European dancing styles. Love the way he bends low and throws his head around like a Rockabilly rebel.
im a Mediterranean dude, who lives in Chicago born n raised. And i dig this song, specifically the way its played here in this video. I FKN LIKE IT I SAID!!!
Jesco and the wack pack are what got me started on this stuff, but seeing D ray do his thing to this amazing song is the real thing! Jesco could never do a tribute of this song, he ant got the old man's skills!
yea man i hav trubbell w one. that ol boy would rock on a dbbl drum. he prob hellish rod wrencher too! ha. ol jim from so. ill oill field. remem? we worked on a single pullin unit over there. proud of yall!!!!!!!!! dont never stop !

Ever since I first saw the Talking Feet documentary, this version of "Cindy" or "Get Along Home Cindy" has been my absolute favorite. Tried to find some tutorials on how to play it but it seems like everyone else likes to do it in the clawhammer style. Not sure what the man's name is in the video playing banjo but I love it!
Truth! But huffing gasoline, airplane glue, and lighter fluid definitely takes its toll on the body in all ways horrible. not to mention the constant booze and pills that Jesco still consumes to this day. Still, i like Jesco's style. It's a little different than his dad's but he can really tear it up to Ozark Mountain Daredevils. It's too bad D. Ray's death sent Jesco off the deep-end. Really a sad story. Love em both, though.
WVgirl1 through&through isn't that the story of poor old West Virginia now though pills and meth and drink and welfare, the down and out. Johnny cash wore black for the down and out people like those who live love and fight in West Virginia.

Same, I get goosebumps.
I think the goosebumps are from the perfect timing. Your brain somehow recognizes timing and the complex array of sounds. @@beardlessodin945

Sorry if I am rambling.
Because it's genuinely American. And that America is now almost completely disappeared to history and won't ever come back again.
It's a shame that nobody cut a record of D.RAY singing this song. It's the best version of Cindy I've ever heard.
Couldn't agree more! Entire video is priceless and hands down best of the best playing singing dancing. . Now they are both together play'n again
I agree. Hands down the best version
He could sing.
What an unbelievable talent this man was. Even if you don't like this kind of music you can't help but admire D Ray's connection to self expression and creativity.
So the song is called "Cindy"
Thats my grandpa D ray white . My grandmother and grandfather adopted me .when I was 2 days old . D ray is my fathers dad
If that is in fact correct that would mean you are related to Jesco white cool!

He is alive ***
@UCL3VSWi6bBxdJ0N3mdbVNAQ Alive, Cody lol. And yes Tony D he is very much alive and well.
Very much alive, he was in Thornhill Ford not 30 mins ago
Are you sure thats not Hasil Adkins?

Thank God someone recorded at least this much of D ray... R.I.P. D ray and thanks for sharing your gift with us.

Even a man from the humblest of origins can have a superpower.
That banjo player rips and he looks like he's half asleep. Amazing! LOVE D Ray White. What amazing raw talent.
a true visionary and legend. RIP, D. Ray White.
I keep coming back to this to hear this great banjo playing,I'm trying to learn it on my 5 string,we love this stuff over here in England!!!!!!!!!

It will never happen again, for those who believe the bible it says not one single day is the same as the next.
mono no aware
We ain’t gone just yet.
We’ll be back
We are the first generation of Earthlings to have the ability to surf through visual history the way we do
There’s just something beautiful about this. Just the whole culture.
Most people watch jesco for his antics..his dad was watched for his dancing skills!
The legend will never die.
I'm here from watching the dancing outlaw,about his son,,Jesco White,,,and I heard/seen this performance on it,I can't seem to get it out my head, so back for more!
Apparently "dunk" was related to over half the people in the comments section.
That's my great uncle Dunk!
Great uncle? He was terrific!!
I knew Dunk, the good Dunkhauser
He’s my cousin as well, still lives right down the road from me 😂

Listen to those shoes tapping out that song.
And his singing great also!
One of the absolute best ..
white lightnin' brought me here lol such a catchy song and D. ray does the best version of it in my opinion.
What a legend D. Ray is, love his dancing ! Greetings from Chile ,South America .
This man was a National Treasure

I watch this any time I need a smile!
They didn't start chasing us until you played this music!
Just recently discovered this guy, And My Goodness, He can dance! Super talented man may he rest in peace.
Great talent.
Don't see others with this talent any more .
Thanks for putting it up.
I have enjoyed it many, many times

Timeless and beautiful I love America
The drop from 1:18-1:22 is lit
Love me some D. Ray. He reminds me of my youth as an Arkansas Hillbilly. Ozarks ain't too far removed.
I could listen to this on repeat forever
Old man I'm proud to call you my grandpa/father. U had plains for me.
My Pa
He was an awesome man
Real stuff. His feet should've been on the floor of The Ryman. I've been on that stage. He would've sounded great up there.
We love your pa!
So it is the Appalachian version of tap dancing. Also, that banjo player ain't too shabby.
They call it “clogging”
This man is litterally one of the most talented in musical history on par with elvis
Reckon That boys banjo almost caught fire .
Beautiful!
I honest to Jeshuah feel this in my soul.
This is pure genius. Absolutely BRILLIANT.
Talent that defies words, the best kind!
The legend himself
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for the video, very intertaining.
That’s my uncle-in-law three times removed on my cousin Vergil’s side playing the banjo.
Now THAT is CHARIIIIIIISMAAAA. D ray was a natural showman son. I would be GLUED watching this man. Honestly.
Thanks for sharing this. Brilliant!
I could watch him all day long
Jesco and the wack pack are what got me started on this stuff, but seeing D ray do his thing to this amazing song is the real thing! Jesco could never do a tribute of this song, he ant got the old man's skills!
Maybe he used to, but maybe not now
The man with the talking feet who should have had more recognition, fame and money .
He was great. His timing was right on the money.
Love the haunting Banjo sound here, first saw this many years ago on " A different drummer " documentary.
Banjo definitely inspired by earl scruggs.
I can't stop watching this!!! :)
Absolutely amazing
EPIC DUO can't stop watching it!
I suddenly feel the urge to tell my cousin how much I love her.
Try not to crush her smokes while doing so. Those are hard to come by for a 13 year old. She'll be pissed you crushed her smokes.
@@e1ochai Lulz.
He's been blessed with the holy spirit of the likker.
D Ray is truly the Lord of the Dance.
this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen

Could you imagine how good D.Ray would have been at double bass? I may be the only one imagining that lol

D fucking Ray is the stuff of legends
I am Spanish , and like d ray dancing and sing , I wonder what kind of person he was , good or bad ? Anyways , he's bad ass ,
Hip Hop gets its roots from all music, Rapping has been done with slaves, and slave masters for hundreds of years. Respect all music. Long Live D Ray!
to the old days and to our daddys
Good playing and good dancing.
Love it
This is majestic as F..

They're from West Virginia genius
@@TheHightower92 and if yu watched enough youd have seen they had the Stars and Bars out front. Confederates indeed.

But then nobody could come close to D Ray. If they hatnt of got him maybe D Ray could have taught Jesco more too.

A lost art
It's not completely lost. I learned it growing up, but I could never hold a candle to D Ray. However, it is definitely a quickly dying art.
Kick it up a notch boys!
good job
Yeah, it is
This is unbelievable. Don't know how they did this.
Damn he is good
sick song
Hit a lick there D Ray!
