Hillary Klug fiddles, dances, and sings "Oh! Susanna" on the Cumberland river with the General Jackson river boat in the background. Instagram: @hillaryklug / fiddleanddance / hillary_klug hillaryklug.com
The fiddle, the vocals and the tap dancing all at the same time, that's a golden sombrero. Only fitting that this clip ends with a steamboat floating by in the background.
Not only is her singing, dancing, and playing all at the same time impressive as hell, but the riverboat slowly moving past in the background is over the top!! Love this!!
Okay, so she's clogging, playing the fiddle and singing all at the same time. She stays on key, doesn't miss a note and doesn't run short of breath, nor fall into the water. Impressive.
@Chevy Man I remember when I was a little kid the chevy pick-ups would be so huge my head hight was the floor hight inside the car.. so amazing as a little sprout, good memories
Я вообще впервые слышу эту песню: и хотя бы поэтому это её исполнение, - исполнение этого музыкального исполнителя, - представляется мне наилучшим. Впрочем, она действительно очень постаралась! Молодец.
Hello Klaus, Stephen Foster was not a Southerner. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania, lived in New York City and PA, as an adult. His music was popular throughout the country, back then and many of his songs are well-known, even today.
Stumbled on her couple weeks ago Great fiddle, like the buck dancing and singing. No lasers, smoke, dancers, light shows. Just good music from someone who enjoys playing it
@@AVS7776what? the lyrics are literally about a man going to visit his love Susanna. There is no mention of race, social status, class, or anything similar.
she plays only 2 chords when singing, its not that hard. Solo goes after. So, technically shes dancing and singing at the same time and fiddling and dancing at the same time, but anyway this is cool :)
Ah you were just a wisp of a young lady five years ago out on that dock. Was concerned the wind would carry you off. Marvelous. Performance ! I am so glad you are still performing . You make people happy ! 🌿
John Hartford would be very proud. This is the essence of him and the riverboat is a perfect complement to it. Awesome job and keep this style of music and performance alive.❤
@@lachiepentecost1875 What is it now? O.o clogging or buck dancing. Or are those term just interchangeable depending on the region? It might be called tapdancing in Ireland.
The General Jackson is based in Nashville, TN, near where I grew up. I worked in Opryland during the summers of '72 and '73. The General Jackson tours up and down the Cumberland River. This brings back some good memories! 😊
Unbelievable that you can bring this all together. What an artist you are and especially when you sing so clean and beautiful, hold rythm, all in control and your looks make it so lovely. Keep posting and performing. I'm a fan.
I think it's the best song you've done till now , that riverboat sailing in the background adds to the beauty . You sing like an angel . The rhythm is fantastic . I've downloaded it and sent it around here in India , Bombay and people have loved it . Much love from India .
How many takes did take to get your river boat 🚣 to be perfectly placed in the background? I just loved this.... Now if you can get the river boat on the stage of AGT you will definitely get a Golden Buzzer!!!!!
Сонечко, дякую. Підняла настрій підстаркуватому українцю :) Це дуже добре, коли молодь шанує культуру своїх пращурів. Такі зіроньки як ти, роблять світ краще. Дякую ще раз.
No artificial synthesizers, voice dubs, million dollar stage show or trashy costumes needed, pure voice from the heart and talent straight from soul ,,,, real music from a real person. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
Actually, that vocal was dubbed. See the wares on the water? No way the vocal was that clear in the original recording. But... no denying this is a great performance.
@@billmankin6204 Either way, the video was probably edited to remove background sound, or they used something to remove the wind sound (They have equipment for that) so you're probably wrong.
@@billmankin6204 I thought that right away since it is all so clear without any wind sound, then when it's over, you can hear barely that background sound of the water and maybe some seagulls. These folks probably have better than average recording equipment by this point so who knows. She is pretty good regardless of how the audio was recorded.
My granddaughter is 11 she plays and learns violin learns dance and sings.i send her every one of tour posts Hilary. She loves you and so does grandpa. !
Your brain must have some incredible "wiring" to be able to play, sing, and dance so well all at the same time, flawlessly. Thank you for sharing your nice work.
You are definitely talented Ms. Hillary. Never seen a finer player in my life, and then you play well (hope you enjoy old school humor). Then you can sing and dance with it. Best rendition of Oh! Susana I've ever seen. Closest I've got to that talent is just telling old stories. Keep up the good work ma'am. You've the support of this Alabamian and may God bless you.
@@HillaryKlug Yeah can understand that is sort of becomes just like driving a car something you dont have to really think about is like with pipes playing in Scotland rather a practice chanter (the thing on a set of bagpipes that makes the tune) without the complexity of the 3 in the case of highland bagpipes but one with lowland pipes keeping the reeds going with air, yeah you commit it to muscle memory by playing on a practice chanter so you dont have to think about it and can do other things as you're doing that Take care Hillary you're a legend!
@@HillaryKlug You are DEFINITELY something special. All the rest of us would have sounded terrible, gotten winded, fallen into the water, and been finished off by the paddlewheel!
I haven't heard that song for so long.My mom used to sing it to me when I was little.Momma's gone now but this brought back some fond memories, thank you
@@iliansgroi2283 Yeah is rather similar probably to how most as such flesh out the Ripon Sword Dancer song. Actually is why Ripon in Wisconsin is named after Ripon here in North Yorkshire, England. Was (forget his name) one of the original settlers whod named it, here is where I was born though. Interestingly enough was in a schoolhouse in Ripon in Wisconsin where the GOP was founded as well Though changed a fair amount of it and added some: th-cam.com/video/g3SWTknyLYY/w-d-xo.html
She sings, dances and plays the violin very well, I liked the way she did it, greetings from Nogales Sonora México. I am too far away from Louisiana I guess.
My friend just shared this on facebook, where your fb page status says "I play fiddle and dance, and I'm learning to sing!" I think you need to change that, there is nothing "learning" about your singing. Amazing job Hillary, thank you!
Tony Friesen Thank you so much! You’re too kind :) Really I just started learning last summer, and I’ve been practicing a ton, and it’ll be a while until it’s the level of my fiddle or dance. But yeah, my music is a working progress, and I appreciate everyone’s support while I’m on this beautiful journey🤗
@@HillaryKlug You've a beautiful voice and that's great that you've started working on that instrument as well! I can say that I loved hearing you sing as much as your fiddle playing and dancing. Keep up the incredible work and know deep down that you truly are great and can only get better! Don't give up, don't let anyone put you down, and reach for the stars because you've got what it takes to go far!
This almost makes me cry. Such a beautiful blend of the old and the new. Bless you sweet child.

So. I'm too. I from in Kazakstan, Almaty.Good Luck, nice little girl!
Not only is her singing, dancing, and playing all at the same time impressive as hell, but the riverboat slowly moving past in the background is over the top!! Love this!!
how quickly does that thing sneak up on us though?
This is fine art.
@@SlapthePissouttayewEine der schönsten,einfach nur Wahnsinn..🤠
This girl is talented and cute she liked the girl that lives next door but you didn't know she was living there
With nobody on deck.😊
Wonderful performance! Truly a triple threat! And the old riverboat was a nice touch!
The paddleboat in the background adds a special touch.
Beautiful music 🎶
You are incredible!
Thanks for cheering me up.
Okay, so she's clogging, playing the fiddle and singing all at the same time. She stays on key, doesn't miss a note and doesn't run short of breath, nor fall into the water. Impressive.
Except the sound
@@benius42 Ain't nothing wrong with the sound, your speakers are broken.

@Chevy Man Chevy = Good
@Chevy Man I remember when I was a little kid the chevy pick-ups would be so huge my head hight was the floor hight inside the car.. so amazing as a little sprout, good memories
Best version of that song I've ever heard and seen. GO Hillary!!👍👍👍
Я вообще впервые слышу эту песню: и хотя бы поэтому это её исполнение, - исполнение этого музыкального исполнителя, - представляется мне наилучшим.
Впрочем, она действительно очень постаралась! Молодец.
super 🤠😂 i love the southern states music. greetings from Germany 👍🍀
Hello Klaus, Stephen Foster was not a Southerner. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania, lived in New York City and PA, as an adult. His music was popular throughout the country, back then and many of his songs are well-known, even today.
It's still about the South and it's kinda one of the Souths anthems so yeah....
❤ sul do Brasil saudações
What a beautiful performance. I'm Mexican and I love the blues. I play blues as well but with your music you joined me to the country music world.
Riverboat passing in the background. Perfect!
It was
Shoulda been the Robert E. Lee but Gen. Jackson ought be fine enough. This gal is going places. I surely appreciate the fine performance.
I’m sure that was planned, but still perfect!
That's a fine rendition from a lovely young lady. Take a bow.
Love to hear the Lady sing, and dance!❤❤
Stumbled on her couple weeks ago
Great fiddle, like the buck dancing and singing. No lasers, smoke, dancers, light shows. Just good music from someone who enjoys playing it
The most southern American thing I’ve seen in my live !!! Absolutely love it !!!
The most unempathetic American song to slavery ever. Song was literally written to make fun of slaves. Classy America as usual
@@AVS7776 oh boo hoo ,,, Go cry to your mommy
@@va.farmer420 ok I’ll cry to mommy while you cry to your sister/wife.
@@AVS7776the song talks about a black couple, how was it made to mock slaves?
@@AVS7776what? the lyrics are literally about a man going to visit his love Susanna.
There is no mention of race, social status, class, or anything similar.
Krana piesen v podani sarmantnej slecny, krasny spev a perfektne zahrate. Pozdrav z Slovakia. Dakujem
Love the singing, love the dancing , the fiddle and the lovely young lady.
You sing as well as you dance and play the fiddle! This is so uplifting! 👏👏
a bueatiful and talented southern belle...well done!
She's fiddling, dancing AND singing at the same time. No one has any right claiming that level of talent. :)
John Hartford is who she takes her clues from
she plays only 2 chords when singing, its not that hard. Solo goes after. So, technically shes dancing and singing at the same time and fiddling and dancing at the same time, but anyway this is cool :)
Jeff Osborn ⬅️I concur! She’s just oozing femininity!
Let’s be serious if you can’t do that somethings wrong with you
John Dockert . The singing is a mistake...
Ah you were just a wisp of a young lady five years ago out on that dock. Was concerned the wind would carry you off. Marvelous. Performance ! I am so glad you are still performing . You make people happy ! 🌿
Well done playing singing and dancing..awesome performance..! Thanx..🌹
John Hartford would be very proud. This is the essence of him and the riverboat is a perfect complement to it. Awesome job and keep this style of music and performance alive.❤
clogging fiddling and singing ????? phenominal !!!!! great performance !!!!
It's called clogging? I thought it was tap dancing
It's buck dancing
So true. Im not eurocentric
Just being factual.
Thanx for pointing it out brother
@@lachiepentecost1875 What is it now? O.o clogging or buck dancing. Or are those term just interchangeable depending on the region? It might be called tapdancing in Ireland.
@liar fighter Much of the Appalachian culture is Scots Irish.

Thanks for the best ever music 🎼🎻🎶🎵❤️🌺💞♥️💐👑❣️ Thanks Hillary 🌹💐❤️🌺🌺💞♥️🌹💐❣️
Man! You can make an old folk song come to life! This Alabamian is impressed!
Beautiful background, beautiful girl, beautiful playing, beautiful music, beautiful singing, beautiful dancing, wow life is beautiful....

@@garrybuicke1803 Old Style and Henry McKenna for me
I absolutely LOVE this one! You're voice blends so nicely with the fiddle. WONDERFUL!

Wow! So refreshing!! Three minutes of joy.
I don't know how you can sing dance and play at the same time. That's amazing!
I think it's the best song you've done till now , that riverboat sailing in the background adds to the beauty . You sing like an angel . The rhythm is fantastic . I've downloaded it and sent it around here in India , Bombay and people have loved it . Much love from India .
Brilliant performance. My feet were tapping at my home in Washington, North East England.
So talented, love the footwork!
How many takes did take to get your river boat 🚣 to be perfectly placed in the background?
I just loved this.... Now if you can get the river boat on the stage of AGT you will definitely get a Golden Buzzer!!!!!
I whistled with her in North Rhine Westphalia, Germany. But I also sent it to some relatives in Silesia, Poland!
Preciosa estampa..muy bien interpretada esta bonita canción y muy bien bailada ! El barco de vapor...uauuu !!
Gracias y un saludo desde Barcelona ! 😊
This is the most Southern thing I've ever seen. And I've always lived in the South!
How can you not fall in love?
Super le violon, le rythme , la voix !!! Bravo !!
I'm impressed at how this is miced. No background noise until the song ends.
Good observation! I wonder how they did it...
I absolutely love everything I've seen this you woman do! She is really great! 😊
Friends, this is a masterpiece. You need talent to perform songs like that.
Just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. So talented!
That is so amazing. Great talent
