Hello, so good to hear from you. I was just watching A Nest of Singing Birds: Songs and Stories from the Appalachian Mountains and was thinking about you. I hope all is well! You are both queens as far as I'm concerned. It has been an honor to get to know you a bit through your video. All the best.
I have always wondered at the similarities between the two geographical areas. Even the plants seem to indicate a shared past. It is so good to hear from you. Are you a musician?
So good to hear from you. Thanks for leaving a comment. During the process of making this video, I got to spend some time up in Sodom Laurel. It was a special experience finding some of the graves of the folks mentioned here. I have never actually seen the movie all the way through but I am bound to watch it now!
Beautiful, just beautiful…. So wonderful to see these traditions kept alive.. so hope other parts of our state can keep area/family traditions alive in these quickly changing times…
Hey, what's up? Good to hear from you again. It seems like things are changing so fast. Computers and cell phones are hastening the change for sure. It is good to stop and learn some things "Knee to Knee". It seems to stick with me better that way. It seems to hold more weight and feed my soul.
Susan, you are so welcome! I hope this work does help to continue this important story. Please keep coming back to the channel. We need folks just like you.
@@scottallen6062 8/15/24: Long story short. Born in the region, sprung from a long line of Scots-Irish North Carolinians. In adulthood, taught and worked in flatter areas. Grew to love bluegrass long ago, now I am published and still write about bluegrass and traditional music. That tiny picture over there is of the Bluegrass Shack. Sadly it burned to the ground years ago, caused by kids with firecrackers. Pick away! 🪕
Brent, so great to hear from you. I appreciate you getting in touch and hope your family is well also. Give me a call or drop an email when you can. Love to catch up.
HEY TIN MAN! So glad you like the video. I'm thankful you came by the channel for a visit. It was a privilege to get to know these people through the editing process. I am headed to the Ballad Swap this Wednesday up in Marshall.
Sheila is the real queen of the clawhammer! love my sister

Great video! Thanks for keeping out NC mountain heritage alive. The Jane Hicks Gentry, of Hot Springs, discussed in the video is my distant cousin.
Thats neat to know. She was an amazing lady by all accounts. Thanks for getting in touch.
My daddy Jerry is the great nephew of Jane Hicks Gentry!
very nice, you can hear the celtic old style singing in her presentation. the same songs and history but an ocean apart.
Thanks for listening and for your interest in the old tunes. We appreciate you watching.

Tim, this is GREAT. The Song Catcher is one of my favorite movies.
Gald you enjoyed the video. Sheila was advisor and dialogue coach on the movie and played in the barn scene with other local musicians.

8/10/24: Beautiful! My roots run deep in Appalachia.
Glad to hear from a kindred soul. We appreciate your comments.
What's up? I am assuming by your RUclips name you enjoy bluegrass. Do you still live in Appalachia? I am not sure I could ever leave it now.
