  • I filmed this awesome video live, on the front row, during the Museum of Appalachia Fall Homecoming. Close to the end of the performance, we didn't know what was coming when a talented clog dancer started shaking the whole barn. He almost danced the barn down...literally! (buck dancing)

    I love this! It brings back great memories. My daddy was a fine fiddle player. One night he and his buddies were pickin n grinnin when ole Bobby jumped up and started doing the jig. His shoe flew off. Bobby let out a laugh then his dentures came flying out! I was only about 10 years old then but I still laugh about it. Those good old boys are all pickin in heaven now.

    Decades ago I attended a 25th anniversary party thrown for an aunt and uncle. After the "polite" band finished playing for the party, the real band came out; fiddles, guitars, an actual washtub bass and an old whiskey jug. Never had so much fun in my life.

    I grew up down the road from this place and went there often when I lived in the area. A wonderful place to see the Foxfire book skills put to practical use and understanding. And my Uncle Ira Abbott was one of the best buck dancers I've ever met. Buck dancers aren't taught. They just naturally get that movement. Enjoyed this video immensely!

    One of the best musicians in the bunch (not to disparage the instrumental PHENOMENAL TALENT) This is a form of dancing from the mountain country that is getting lost in our modern times. GREAT JOB! Crying shame all of this is lost to our youth of today that only want loud electronically enhanced studio dubbed music. Even concerts are being lip-sinced. What a shame this is becoming a lost art.

    He is good but in my opinion he didn't steal the show because those guys are some damn good musicians and trust me it's a lot harder to learn to play those instruments than it is to dance!
