Absolutely wonderful! Not enough young people are getting into keeping folk music alive in my country, it's mostly middleage and older people. I hope more young people open their ears and start playing folk styles otherwise they could die out. RUclips is definitely helpful to get the music out there.
These people are the real thing, talented, good to look at and music is raw, down to earth and real. There is nothing pretentious about them and long may they stay that way. James UK
Magical! Love this stuff. Please, don't ever stop doing this. And thank God for You Tube; but mostly for good people like the Chocolate Drops who are proud of their rich heritage and so damn good at displaying it! Mark S. Graham, Esq.
Now this is fun music. Multiple instruments played by each member and they always put a big ole smiling grin upon my face with each song that tickles my aural pleasure zones!
Well, I love the old time stuff, and your group brings it back to life! I have a Masters in performance.....ya know.....big uppity educated attitude many years ago.. Your music is so improtant to help revive the history of music in our country......please.....keep on!!!! I had a history professor in college, and he offered a day session in 'Jazz' inn American music.....he won a Grammy for notes on a Wills Brothers album years ago......Dr. Charles Townsend. Please.....otherwise, our history is, as you know, is being destroyed......not taught any more inn many schools for our young 'uns. You are all an inspiration to me now....getting back to the banjo.....just purchased a Jeff Menzies tack head.....so , we're off! Let's continue!
Heard about you folks from a co-worker. Thought...That's a weird name..Wrote it down and told him I would check RUclips this evening. YOU FOLKS ROCK.Loved every minute..Class and style!!!
I caught the back half of a set they did at Jazzfest a few years ago and really enjoyed them. They are coming back on the first weekend [April 27 - 29] and this time, I plan to catch the whole set. They are uniquely talented.
I feel just like Pavlov's dog after watching this.......I keep hitting the replay button and my ears just keep on salivating..........well just use your imagination on that last one! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Jazzfest Update - they'll be on the Fais Do-Do Stage Saturday, April 28 from 4:20 to 5:35 pm. Wouldn't surprise me if they sign CD's at the Borders Record Tent after the show. If you're at "da 'fest", catch them!

I love this group.
