    My Mom and her siblings grew up during the depression, lost their mother to cancer when mom was just 13. She helped raise the younger kids . They sang these old songs together and aways seemed strong and happy to get together as we grew up. Music seemed to be the glue. They have gone from us, but all the cousins still get together and sing the old songs. Could you do " Will the Circle be Unbroken"? THANKS . Really enjoy your harmonies.

    Approximately 1956 a small boy played a mono 78rpm record by Burl Ives in a rented house in Monrovia, CA. It had this song on it.

      Not to take any cudos away from Toni, who is talented beyond imagination, but I think the left-handed guitar playing is a funtion of recording on an i-phone.

    A poignantly legendary American folksong that is instantly likeable and evokes the big outdoors anywhere in the contintent. Performed here as never before, with sunny enthusiasm, witty musicianship, and natural charm in a clever arrangement that blends sound and vision. What it all is, is Big Rock Candy Mountain the Movie! And we shouldn't be sad that there won't be a sequel, because this is the spirit of the song captured. Super! Fantastic!
