Jesco white his son is a wonderful dancer too. These people have been used and abused by the mines. Let them be. I enjoy the music dance and honesty they have.
Now THIS guy can dance and when he danced with his sons .. WOW!!!! It saddens me so much to know that such a uniquely talented man who absolutely LOVED to dance is now gone. I truly hope his sons and daughters, children, grandchildren etc are still keeping the tradition going. I am from Australia and it has just blown me away. Thanks for the upload.
The little boy is still dancing… he’s trying to keep the legacy alive! Search Donald Maris White Jr on TH-cam. Little man’s father was murdered after this documentary and His Maw and Paw raised him.
“One day after awhile, I’m going to be like the leaves on these trees, I’m going to have to come down. And then I want somebody to pick it up from where I leave off and keep it circulating.” -D. Ray White Pure poetry.
Sadly, it seems as though this era in our history has all but disappeared. I wish everyone could experience this way of life, when it was pure, simple, and appreciated when someone shared their talents like Mr White!! Thank you for bringing back memories of my Grandparents in VA. They made music, danced, and enjoyed days off from the farm. Miss those days. God Bless and hope someone inherited his talents.
LOL, untrue. West Virginia did not EVEN EXIST then, the "union" took the northern panhandle (look at a map). It's about five miles across, you can walk it. It was all Virginia then. Virginia was a wasp stronghold (from the coastal beginning of what became the u.s.), and the "union" wanted it wiped out. WV became a "state" during the war. Also many planter moved there "headed for the hills" from the eastern VA planter areas during the war (for obvious reasons). What's your home country?…seems not america
HamerSlammerSeries anybody who wants us all to be the same is just nuts. this is what makes life worth living. like u said regional...our differences are our beauty!! and our power!
@Melanie Willard diversity is not melting, there is no melting pot. It's like ceviche, identifiable pieces coming enriched by a common liquid. But each component shining through.
@Melanie Willard well in this example 1. It's not Irish for the most part Scots-Irish were Scots who were in Ireland for some time 2. The dance and music of Appalachia derived from the earliest times of Virginia colony 3. The banjo is african and there are ceremonial dances I've seen using flat foot dancing 4. The early colonial landscape of the u.s. was quite multiethnic and racial until Bacon's Rebellion when fears of multiracial working class coalition were tackled by increased social marginalization of black, mixed race and indigenous people. Read a book.
@Melanie Willard I think the fact that you think a continent with far more diversity than Europe linguistically, religiously, etc... are unified in dancing practices shows you're understanding of the world around you is some weird American White obsession with wanting to feel connected to having pure roots to Europe rather than their reality. You sound not only stupid but also pathetically transparent.
I must say I’ve looked at many flat foot dancing videos. And Mr Ray is by far the most talented original guy Ive seen. His son is also very good. But this is authentic for sure.
Coming here after watching The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia documentary. I was not expecting to find such a humble man doing something that he truly loves.
This came up as recommended to me. I finally watched it. Stuff like this is a huge part of history, especially of certain regions. It's also a lost art. Back when families were still families and very tight knit. Things were handed down to the future generations. Thank you for sharing this.
@@MENFUSSMIKE Mine too. That said, it's not a hard choice. If the film they made about his kids is anything to go by, the next generation of Whites were a bunch of complete degenerates who live off disability and are either doing Oxy, or pushing Oxy.
This was filmed before 1985...Just the first 8 beats of this mans dance is many years ahead of its time. I been dancing since 1981 and have seen the worlds best back then. The first 8 beats alone are Legendary.
Why would you think it was something to laugh at? Do you even have something in your heritage to look back on and appreciate? My guess is no you do not.
Having my mother and her family all coming from W. Virginia, the Appalachian culture was part of who I am. I remember my reserved, dignified uncle, who was a respected educator and school principal, when he would rarely get a snoot of liquor, he'd buck-dance until he dropped. Happy memories.❤️
These people built America by working in coal mines, building sky scrapers, serving in the military, farming and much, much more. Be proud of your family.
Popcorn wasn't to bright, he got his own self busted because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He went around bragging about his business and the feds busted his ass. He might be a TH-cam and Moonshiners tv show legend, but here in the real world of local moonshiners he was a braggart and it got him busted. It also bought the feds/ATF down on everybody in Maggie Valley and surrounding area that was making shine. Always remember one thing when it comes to moonshiners, you have and will never hear of the real legend's.
@@lskiller1903 thing is , his whisky wasn't anything all that great except to people who didn't know no better, I've tasted it and can run up 4 or 5 hollers right now and get better. The majority of his fame came from people outside these Mts who ain't got a clue how things really work around here

Pretty sure its because theres been so many advances in technology people are being entertained in different ways that there's no need for people to kill time by learning skills like this anymore.
The main reason you haven't seen D Ray White is he was shot and killed in his front yard in 1985. Both his sons were shot in the same altercation but they survived.
Same here for a man tho... I was raised without electricity for a large portion of my childhood / early teens. Although I'm only 30 my upbringing is so much different compared to most Americans because I'm from the appalachia. And before we had a playstation this is what we did for fun. My dad would play guitar and sing and then he'd shout at me to "GET IT!" and I would flat foot to the guitar music on the front porch with my special shoes I only used for tapping.
