What an unbelievable talent this man was. Even if you don't like this kind of music you can't help but admire D Ray's connection to self expression and creativity.
I do too. The banjo is so skillful and magical and the tap steps of D Ray White himself, the legend of dancing mountain men, are amazingly good! God bless the Wild and Wonderful White family of West Virginia! Never wanna lose this video? Download it so you never lose it! Google: TH-cam downloader. All the best!
The reason it gives anyone goosebumps is because it’s real and pure. Both of them are playing with God given talent. They are naturals at what they do. No pyrotechnics, no backup dancers to obscure their weaknesses. They perform because they have to. They perform because they know that what they do, makes others happy and filled with joy. Which in turn brings the artist happy. There are no middle men. Sorry if I am rambling.
RIP Dunk. 7/1/2019 Played hundreds of hours of Bluegrass with Dunk at Pickin in the Park Logan State Park over the last 13 years. Have a hard time thinking it will be the same at all without him there. His root-authentic banjo style has been a staple in Logan for decades - since the start. RIP Dunk - you will be very very missed. Pick one out with Bill up there today.
that's my grandpa playing banjo with ant Mamie's dad I made a TH-cam account y'all need to help me figure out how to work this TH-cam thing idk nothing about I Want to start posting videos of grandpa on here he played banjo now for 72 years he is in the Smithsonian 3 times he is part of walk the line movie his name is in the credits he is in talking feet & the wild and wonderful whites of west Virginia I'm Dacota "The Friendly Outlaw" ny grandpa name is Paul Ray "Dunk" Farris .. Anyone want to know anything message me ..
It’s so good. I love all kinds of music spanning rock, jazz, blues and even hip hop. D Rae was really a special person. I can see he had something inside of him that allowed him to go to a place that most people can’t go. Jesco has the gift as well. Love watching them both.
I love this so much. I clogged in my teen years and everyone would tell me I clogged flat footed. The dance group I was with was much more into modern dance styles. I danced like this guy and now he's my hero. Makes me want to clog again.
I love D. Ray. This is actually my favourite rendition of "Get Along Home Cindy". There are so many of them, but something about his picking on the 'jo, and D Ray singing and dancing.. fucking incredible.
+thomas dupont hahaha!,don't you believe it!, there's a big bluegrass following over here,once you learn how to make a banjer ring,you'll always be in a happy place,believe it!!
what? people in England love our hillbilly stuff? I'm from the Smokys, from the same town Dolly Parton is from. why would you guys love our culture so much? that's weird to me.
@@cornpop1363 probably because we came from the British isles originally before we ended up in the hills of Appalachia....most of our old mountain songs came from England and Scotland. They are our ancient kin folk.
I'm here from watching the dancing outlaw,about his son,,Jesco White,,,and I heard/seen this performance on it,I can't seem to get it out my head, so back for more!
its like looking into a time capsule, these kind of people are rapidly leaving this world and they may already be gone. Its beautiful, but at the same time theres a sadness knowing that this kind of thing may never happen again.
Truth! But huffing gasoline, airplane glue, and lighter fluid definitely takes its toll on the body in all ways horrible. not to mention the constant booze and pills that Jesco still consumes to this day. Still, i like Jesco's style. It's a little different than his dad's but he can really tear it up to Ozark Mountain Daredevils. It's too bad D. Ray's death sent Jesco off the deep-end. Really a sad story. Love em both, though.
WVgirl1 through&through isn't that the story of poor old West Virginia now though pills and meth and drink and welfare, the down and out. Johnny cash wore black for the down and out people like those who live love and fight in West Virginia.
American mountain dancing looks like a heavy metal moshpit compared with European dancing styles. Love the way he bends low and throws his head around like a Rockabilly rebel.
yea man i hav trubbell w one. that ol boy would rock on a dbbl drum. he prob hellish rod wrencher too! ha. ol jim from so. ill oill field. remem? we worked on a single pullin unit over there. proud of yall!!!!!!!!! dont never stop !
I'm highly impressed at how much of an all around musician D. Ray White was. Back then it was extremely hard to get noticed by the music industry but this man had the musician talent that it takes to make it big. I say this because its obvious tap dancing wasn't his only skill. He can also sing but most importantly he was entertainer. This man worked the audience, making them enjoy his show & his talent.
during the strike of 93 it was getting cold so we built a fire in a 55 gallon barrel. 1 of the white girls walked up to the fire to get warm & said, "how are all you fuckers doing it's colder than a darkass bear cave out here ain't it ?" we all agreed & said hell yell girl, we were all a part of the hood. i met d ray when he moved in next door then i moved out & it wasn't a week till he was killed. goodbye d ray
Peregrine White was the first child born to the Pilgrims in the New World. His parents, William and Susanna White boarded the Mayflower with their son Resolved. ? Susanna gave birth to Peregrine on November 20, 1620, while the Mayflower was anchored in Provincetown Harbor. Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth, Massachusetts owns and exhibits the cradle of Peregrine White. ? William White died the first winter. Susanna White married fellow Mayflower passenger, Edward Winslow. In 1636, the family moved to the new settlement of Marshfield. ? Peregrine married Sarah Bassett in 1648. He built the Marshfield homestead just before his marriage, and lived there until his death in 1704. Six generations of Whites lived in the homestead. ? The Peregrine White Homestead is located at the former mouth of the river overlooking the Rexhame Dunes.
13 of ya can shove that thumb you know where This is Derkie that my. Paw paw in my High School We miss ya paw. Long Live Donald Ray White Gone But Never Forgotten
Jesco and the wack pack are what got me started on this stuff, but seeing D ray do his thing to this amazing song is the real thing! Jesco could never do a tribute of this song, he ant got the old man's skills!
Ever since I first saw the Talking Feet documentary, this version of "Cindy" or "Get Along Home Cindy" has been my absolute favorite. Tried to find some tutorials on how to play it but it seems like everyone else likes to do it in the clawhammer style. Not sure what the man's name is in the video playing banjo but I love it!
im a Mediterranean dude, who lives in Chicago born n raised. And i dig this song, specifically the way its played here in this video. I FKN LIKE IT I SAID!!!
Thats my grandpa D ray white . My grandmother and grandfather adopted me .when I was 2 days old . D ray is my fathers dad
If that is in fact correct that would mean you are related to Jesco white cool!
Very talented family. 🎸
Still, you're just adopted . No bloodline relation .
It's a shame that nobody cut a record of D.RAY singing this song. It's the best version of Cindy I've ever heard.
Couldn't agree more! Entire video is priceless and hands down best of the best playing singing dancing. . Now they are both together play'n again
I agree. Hands down the best version
He could sing.
What an unbelievable talent this man was. Even if you don't like this kind of music you can't help but admire D Ray's connection to self expression and creativity.
So the song is called "Cindy"
I don't know why I get goosebumps listening to this. I hope this video never gets lost in the world

Same, I get goosebumps.
I think the goosebumps are from the perfect timing. Your brain somehow recognizes timing and the complex array of sounds. @@beardlessodin945

Sorry if I am rambling.
Because it's genuinely American. And that America is now almost completely disappeared to history and won't ever come back again.

That is legendary stuff. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Dacota I'd really love to hear more of his banjo playing. Has he ever recorded a cd or is there anywhere I can hear his music?
Your family is awesome! Very entertaining folks
I LOVED the Wild and Wonderful Whites of WV!!!!
It’s so good. I love all kinds of music spanning rock, jazz, blues and even hip hop. D Rae was really a special person. I can see he had something inside of him that allowed him to go to a place that most people can’t go. Jesco has the gift as well. Love watching them both.

Do it brother!
Thank God someone recorded at least this much of D ray... R.I.P. D ray and thanks for sharing your gift with us.
I love D. Ray. This is actually my favourite rendition of "Get Along Home Cindy". There are so many of them, but something about his picking on the 'jo, and D Ray singing and dancing.. fucking incredible.
Most people watch jesco for his antics..his dad was watched for his dancing skills!
a true visionary and legend. RIP, D. Ray White.
Even a man from the humblest of origins can have a superpower.
Apparently "dunk" was related to over half the people in the comments section.
That's my great uncle Dunk!
Great uncle? He was terrific!!
I knew Dunk, the good Dunkhauser
He’s my cousin as well, still lives right down the road from me 😂
@@ethanstollingsmusic5967 unreal!

We ain’t gone just yet.
We’ll be back

My Pa
He was an awesome man
Real stuff. His feet should've been on the floor of The Ryman. I've been on that stage. He would've sounded great up there.
We love your pa!
Jesco has nothing on his old man!
Truth! But huffing gasoline, airplane glue, and lighter fluid definitely takes its toll on the body in all ways horrible. not to mention the constant booze and pills that Jesco still consumes to this day.

Really a sad story. Love em both, though.
But then nobody could come close to D Ray. If they hatnt of got him maybe D Ray could have taught Jesco more too.
It's a shame the family has shamed this man and their mother the way that they have. They were good people.
AwaitingTheMeteorOfDoom he tries though got to give him that
WVgirl1 through&through isn't that the story of poor old West Virginia now though pills and meth and drink and welfare, the down and out. Johnny cash wore black for the down and out people like those who live love and fight in West Virginia.
So it is the Appalachian version of tap dancing. Also, that banjo player ain't too shabby.
They call it “clogging”
The drop from 1:18-1:22 is lit
That banjo player rips and he looks like he's half asleep. Amazing! LOVE D Ray White. What amazing raw talent.
No one could out think him or out dance him
Reckon That boys banjo almost caught fire .
That’s my uncle-in-law three times removed on my cousin Vergil’s side playing the banjo.
1000 of them views is from this feller right hrere
What a legend D. Ray is, love his dancing ! Greetings from Chile ,South America .
American mountain dancing looks like a heavy metal moshpit compared with European dancing styles. Love the way he bends low and throws his head around like a Rockabilly rebel.
Could you imagine how good D.Ray would have been at double bass? I may be the only one imagining that lol
Fear Factory would have loved ole D Ray
yea man i hav trubbell w one. that ol boy would rock on a dbbl drum. he prob hellish rod wrencher too! ha. ol jim from so. ill oill field. remem? we worked on a single pullin unit over there. proud of yall!!!!!!!!! dont never stop !
😂😂😂😂
jesco is okay but his daddy is out of this world
That doesn't look so hard -tries it, immediately falls on face- he's a god among men
There’s just something beautiful about this. Just the whole culture.
I am Spanish , and like d ray dancing and sing , I wonder what kind of person he was , good or bad ? Anyways , he's bad ass ,
Young Abe Lincoln on banjo.
Timeless and beautiful I love America
The legend will never die.
A lost art
It's not completely lost. I learned it growing up, but I could never hold a candle to D Ray. However, it is definitely a quickly dying art.
This man was a National Treasure
That’s my Uncle Dunk on banjo 🪕
Any other videos of him on the banjo?

i tried doing this earlier and i damn near tripped fell over. how the hell does he do it
Its the holy spirit of the likker son. May you be blessed with 99 bottles cause the hundredth one is for me and the lord.

I say this because its obvious tap dancing wasn't his only skill. He can also sing but most importantly he was entertainer. This man worked the audience, making them enjoy his show & his talent.
They didn't start chasing us until you played this music!
This man is litterally one of the most talented in musical history on par with elvis
Love me some D. Ray. He reminds me of my youth as an Arkansas Hillbilly. Ozarks ain't too far removed.
That man can sure play that skid box ! Jesco can't hold a candle to Ray !
At least there's someone trying to carry on a tradition.
I watch this any time I need a smile!

G C and D brother! old songs like this you just gotta pick up the old five and find it
I suddenly feel the urge to tell my cousin how much I love her.
Try not to crush her smokes while doing so. Those are hard to come by for a 13 year old. She'll be pissed you crushed her smokes.

Can’t agree more
It’s the same dance, same beat EVERY song. What’s the Big deal?
