its not dying in all circles im twenty one, and my son is three i play banjo guitar and mandolin he sing sold folk songs and loves every min of it. Just keep passing it down
The whole point is that these are songs that you CAN sing, and are easily passed from person to person, unlike modern music. That was how you learned songs back in the day, by listening to others play them.
I'm 23 mexican and black but grew up in Tx in the south, my dad and grandpa love this bluegrass and folk music, it's carried on with me. From the style, the instruments, the sound, especially when it has a lo-fi quality, it's the perfect music for anything you'd have to say. I can't talk to any of my friends about this because they don't really appreciate music. I play in punk, metal, folk bands of anykind so a lot of the punk and metal guys just don't get it. Thank you for this.
I love the old time Bluegrass and this video. But I am 69 years old and I think as I get older and reach the end of my days so will this wonderful music.
The tune if Farther Along. Love this old timey music and the pictures are wonderful. Reminds me of when I was a growing up and everyone was poor and happy as if they knew something. Wish we could go back to them good old days
I am so so glad I grew up in the country and learned how to hunt, fish, track, wood work, and so much more. I will be teaching my kids what I have learned, I believe they will need it. I ask some people today I work with, if they know how to start a fire without a match or lighter. How to make Pine Needle tea, how to use Pine sap. What wild vegetation to eat. What Wild strawberries look like. I say 95% of the people I work with do not know. The town I grew up in only had 630 people. Today there is just over 800. All Farming community.
There is a difference between this and Bluegrass. This is the real "old timey music," but Bluegrass adds a five string banjo played Scruggs style, fiddle, etc and Bill Monroe was its father. Bluegrass uses a lot of improvisation, much like jazz. It is the jazz of country music. That is the way I like to think of it. Love both kinds of old music.
Oh my God, so good to hear this old time music. My Mother used to sing "Father Along" as she did her housework. Sure wish I could hear her sing again. Thanks for the post. I hope you can post more.
I find guys like that (and people who only listen to dubstep, or rap, or pop, or whatever) often don't even understand the music that they claim to like. What they like is the IMAGE or the lifestyle of that music, but they don't really feel their music, nor do they have the imagination to enjoy a variety of different styles. I love just about anything, and I love how music relates to and effects humans.
Wished I had a dollar for every time I heard my old folks playing this kind of music back in the 1940s in Arkansas and Texas. It was called bluegrass in the late 40s early 50s by my Dad after Bill Monroe named it on national TV.
Hello there, first of all, thank you for replying to me, I really appreciate that. I actually found out the name of the song, and am currently in the process of learning it, both instrumentally and working on some harmonies. It was actually covered by most of the big names in country music, such as Johnny Cash, Doc Watson, Dolly, Emmylou, and Linda etc. Fantastic song! Thank you again though.
Wow, I remember seeing this same sort of thing when I was little. Right down to the glasses and the wallpaper (and the hair styles!). My Uncle jim used to play Banjo and Mandelin when he cam to my grandparents house for Christmas. Thanks for the memories and music!
This is actually "Mountain Music" not Bluegrass. Bluegrass was "invented" around 1949 by Bill Monroe. Bluegrass obviously descended from "Mountain Music", but "Mountain Music" is much older, and is an adaptation of traditional music from the British Isles as performed by the Scots-Irish (AKA Ulster Scots in the UK) who were the Frontier Folks who settled the Southern Appalachian Mountains in the mid 1700"s onward. "Mountain Music" (AKA "Hillbilly" music genre) is the solid bedrock roots of the entire spectrum of modern American music from Folk & Gospel, thru Country, Rock, Pop and R&B". In 1927, during the Bristol TN recording Sessions by Victor Recording, the Original Carter Family (Sara, Maybelle and A. P. Carter) introduced this Appalacian Folk music to a worldwide audience. Differing from traditional Hillbilly banjo & fiddle lead instrumentals, the fabulous Carter Family used autoharp and guitar instrumentals to create a unique Folk Style and Sound that easily crossed musical genres. The Carter's unique style and sound in effect became the focusing lense from which originated the broad rainbow spectrum of modern American Music.
Thank you for your information regards the history of American HillyBilly, Mountain Music. Most appreciated. From New Zealand Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. God Bless
Please post some of Grandad's banjo playing!!! Please! anything, regardless of sound quality! Would love to hear your family's old music, banjo or fiddling.
it's new to me always switched channels before tonight I listened ya I found the music very relaxing and the honest effort by the musicians and vocalist is stunning really enjoyed the listen thank you
I am a 27 year old woman from the inner city UK and I love this music, I have been trying to find out more but struggling to, my only reference is movies and searching youtube but would love to know more about it and any appreciation societies online etc? I would love to visit the US and experience it 1st hand. I feel a real affinity to this music but feel very far removed, if anyone could post links where I could find out more I would be very appreciative!
Hi Rosie, just google Bluegrass Festivals, and go!!! You'll meet people easily and then from there, the sky's the limit if you want to listen to, play, or dance to that music. Good luck!
yhuppp, Did you have to put in the obseneity? Learn to express yourself without resorting to 'barnyard' language. Usually, our kind of music doesn't attract your kind!,...of person I mean! This is great harmony and effort, which I respect.
good video but that is not bluegrass. No bluegrass existed until Bill Monroe. Also the Carter family is not blue grass. Not sure why people call all southern music bluegrass.
Beautiful front porch music. Thank you for this.
its not dying in all circles im twenty one, and my son is three i play banjo guitar and mandolin he sing sold folk songs and loves every min of it. Just keep passing it down
The whole point is that these are songs that you CAN sing, and are easily passed from person to person, unlike modern music. That was how you learned songs back in the day, by listening to others play them.
These are the roots of Americans. Respect it!

Bluegrass is just a new name for old time country music.
The tune if Farther Along. Love this old timey music and the pictures are wonderful. Reminds me of when I was a growing up and everyone was poor and happy as if they knew something. Wish we could go back to them good old days
Thanks for sharing. We must preserve our musical heritage.
Great old time Bluegrass!! Love this old sound!
This is great. My granddad, dad and many other family members. Great job.

Love this old stuff, and the old pics are great too, reminds me of when I was a little kid.
I miss this so much. I feel like crying. When I was little, my family used to get together all the time and play and now it's dying. It's a shame.
This is pure Bluegrass - or old time music. Liked it. And, love the song. Thanks for sharing. Gwen
Wonderful ! This is the real soul of bluegrass. Pure joy ! Thanks for posting.
Very nice music!.....and brings back so many nice memories. Thanks for posting.
Oh my God, so good to hear this old time music. My Mother used to sing "Father Along" as she did her housework. Sure wish I could hear her sing again.
Thanks for the post. I hope you can post more.
When love for family and living off the land was at its best.

Keep the spirit alive :)

A real mans music.
And to think, they played ALL that with all that extra webbing between their fingers.
thanks for posting loved it
Never mind. This is just as good, only different. Sadder.
Good one. Thx
@Rowanriver They have taken our heritage or we gave it away or forgot to remember
God damn! This is ten minutes long. 😲😲😲
I heard they just started the first leg of their world tour!!!
The music of my people
"Farther Along" written by Bill Gaither
SLAYER! SLAYER! SLAYER! SLAYER!
Boy, I cant wait to get tickets to this shit.
Wow, awesome
Does anybody know the name of the first tune??
I imagine cowboys around 1800 to this music
yhuppp, Did you have to put in the obseneity? Learn to express yourself without resorting to 'barnyard' language. Usually, our kind of music doesn't attract your kind!,...of person I mean! This is great harmony and effort, which I respect.
I heard the guitar players daughter has the most beautiful two and a half eyes you ever did see.
this kinda music scares me not sure why still love it
I bet THEY remember what mothers milk tastes like.
A for effort.
Can you believe Beethoven was deaf?
Where's my sister???
They damn sure didnt play basket ball .ha ha ha
haha, i can see why,,but it's pretty badass still.
Singer No. 1: Wanna sing another one?
Singer No. 2: Hold on. Gotta go brush my tooth.
...excuse me!, you had better look in your hymnal, I can assure you, -it was NOT written by Bill Gaither!, unless there is TWO, I don't think so!
good video but that is not bluegrass. No bluegrass existed until Bill Monroe. Also the Carter family is not blue grass. Not sure why people call all southern music bluegrass.
I seriously doubt they learned to play from tablature.
Sounds like my sex life.
Well is it Old Time or Bluegrass? There is a difference.
O
Profanity is the sign of a conversational cripple.
