You have achieved your mission. I've enjoyed sharing and exchanging comments with like-minded people on this thread as much as I love the music and the visuals. I'm glad that I found your channel... :)
Ah more stuff of my culture
Yes and Thank You
May the Lord smile down upon you. May he keep you and yours close and safe all their days.
Stay too Blessed to be Stressed as you have relieved mine this day.
Live the quality of music and photography. I especially like that there are no ads! (At least this time round, not sure how that works)
I am from Iraq but immigrate to nashville and marry a man from Tennessee, we listen and play now this music. Very beautiful to me.
I'm Turkish and I don't know why I love bluegrass music
bluegrass is] music based on the basic rhythms of everyday life - the same all over the world.
That’s okay! You don’t have to know why, it’s just fun👍🏻
You are just a mountain man at heart. I listen to Arabic music and Quran recitation, native American music,rock,country
@@joshuadarden7200 I respect you. a little reminder; The difference between Turks and Arabs is like the difference between Americans and Russians. just the same religion. By the way, I'm an atheist.
What’s not to love. Perhaps in a previous life you were Irish or Scottish decent.
I'm Navajo and love Bluegrass.
I find myself drawn to music deeply rooted in culture. My lastest instrments are tongue drum and jaw harp. Many cultures share like instruments with different names.
From rural Hungary, somewhere in the tri-border region of Austria, Slovenia and Hungary I wish yall love, health and happiness ❤🇭🇺

How miserable life would be without music. From death metal to classical to rock and roll to bluegrass I love it all
I'd rather lose all my other senses except for hearing, I don't know how i'd live without the liveliness of music
except for RAP... of all the music genre out there, I can't stand it!
@@lwm123mcc The correct word is not compare but contrast.
@@travisadams4470agreed !
👍❤
I was an Appalachian clog dancer. I have MS and I can't dance now. When I listen to this I can imagine that I am dancing! Learning the guitar and ukulele now. Onwards and upwards. Blessings to you all
God bless you!
Hi there. Bless you both! I was born in '67' so the films won't be of me. Love to watch traditional clog though. I was a North West clog dancer too. Many very happy memories
I just had a hard battle with a rare colon cancer. I'm 53 and can play fiddle. I want to pick up a banjo now and learn it. Any pointers? By the way I can't read sheet music.
I have MS...After all those dance lessons, I still dance like I have a neurological problem...Stop dancing with the doctors...
@@sammietabor yep...do your own dance !
The light of my life lies deep in the Smokys I courted her up there. Married her. Loved her. Laid her ashes up on Water Rock Knob, NC, where she shocked me claiming me as her own. Her schooling in a tiny Smoky Mountain k-12 was equal to my own private mid Atlantic schooling. Better than I almost in all ways. Courted her or maybe she just waited to for me to realize what was obvious. 60 years with her. Beautiful. We wandered but I knew I had to lay her to her rest on Water Rock Knob high in the Smokys, her glen. Yes, we are both Scots. Those mountains remind me of what I lost. I do miss her.
Hello how are you doing today..?
@@drakehonest9
A little unsettled. I always thought we would go close together like other long married folk. I once told a doc, "Keep me going I do not want the wife to have to do anything alone. Oh well." I miss her in the worst way.
@@marmeedoll You will get by
What a sweet tribute..
My sincere condolences.
You have a treasure many never have.. please hold it close and make good on your remaining time ♥️
awesome comment ... ty
60 something Scots Irish who has never left my land but I have an affinity with this wonderous sound
Makes sense since Scotland and Ireland are where Bluegrass gets its roots.
Whoever is reading this, we don't know each other and probably never will, but I wish you the best in life and all the happiness in the world. I love bluegrass music forever....i like banjo...❤ from Chicago, Illinois...
A zuzann,también,te deseo lo mejor para ti ,y tu familia.y también la felicidad.tambien me encanta esta música. Me imagino debajo de un gran castaño escuchando esta música.te mando un gran saludo desde Chile🇨🇱.de parte de Vivían.
You too!! And actually that made my day! Glad to see folks with a good loving caring heart! But how couldn’t you when your listening to some amazing music!!❤ with love from St.Louis!😊
Cheers! all the best coming back to ya from Rochester UK.
Thankyou from Tbilisi . Oct,16 ,2023 From New England but I love Chicago .
Originally from Chicago, but always had a heart for bluegrass. More so then country. But moved from Chicago because of the violence, now live, guess where, Central Tennessee. Go figure
Virginia here- This music has and always will speak to my soul in profound ways.
Californian here, same heart-connection...Irish roots maybe? Perfect housework accompaniment - cheerful, active, not overly stimulating/exciting/distracting. ❤
As a Mexican who grew up with spanish gospel music and singing in choirs Bluegrasss has been one of my favorite genres of music. Its interesting since I stopped listening to gospel ages ago yet i still search for Bluegrass 😅
So simple yet one of the greatest things I have ever seen in all my life. Praise to the Creator for making such beauty, He must surely love us! And praise Him for blessing us with bluegrass!
"He that hath ears to hear, let him hear"
-in Christ
I live in East Tennessee and can confirm that this is the music that plays as you drive through the Appalachian Mountains.
Grew up there and I'm living in the Georgia Mountains. Glad to see someone else heard the music XD
Cant beat the appalachians its culture or its music. Life long resident of East Tennessee
ME ALSO EAST TENNESSEE 🌻
Me also in Indiana
@@robtans5042 YOU ARE SO RIGHT. 🌻
My grandma was a real coal miners daughter from west Virginia, grandpa was an irish immigrant, this music, and the pipes call me to my very soul... Its in your blood .
My grandpa was coal miner in Appalachian Mountain
I hear you loud and clear! I never felt at home until I climbed the Appalachians, gotta get back there!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
West Virginia ✨♥️✨. G-ds carbon footprint! Take me HOME 😇✨.
As a Scotsman I couldn’t agree more ! It’s definitely in the blood !
Most def.
Italian from MIlano here, i listen to bluegrass because... why not? It's nice music
What a gift to find 2 hours of banjo & fiddle music. Thank you! The people in the initial photos lived a hard life, I count my blessings.
My dad's side of the family came to America from Scotland in the mid 18th century, and settled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. When I was a boy at family reunions, I used to love hearing the old timers tell stories of moonshine stills and a life that looked nothing like what I knew, and listen to them play their fiddles and banjos. As for myself, while I may be just another average 21st century dude raised in suburbia, I still can't help but feel nostalgic and sentimental for music like this. It helps to anchor me, and reminds me of where I come from.
You should be learning to play some of those insturments!
@@k.hendrickson8735 You're right, I should! It would help keep something alive.
@@robertbrown3064 remember, music comes from the heart and from the past, and it leads us to a bright future :)
I currently live in NJ but over the past 20 years I've made trips out to Appalachia, it's true what they say about them woods. You don't want to get lost in them. I'm not a conspiracy theorist and I don't believe in spirits or ghosts but when you're there, say on a cold, cloudy fall day with the wind howling like I've been many times, and you're all alone... That's when you realize you're not alone at all.
Mid 18th could be the result of the Rising of 45 (Many Scots forced to leave) or the Clearances. My wife's family came from that time also. My wife was a dulcimer player. Smoky Mountain girl to the core.
I don't know what's better --- the music or the photography. They're both fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching. 🙂
Thé southern solder boy
Agree ❤
@@VisualMelodies it’s outstanding 💪🇺🇸❤️
Both 😁
Love from Scotland 💕🇬🇧🏴fabulous ! 😘
Hey how are you doing today??
Love from SCOTLAND, then you add a british and a welsh flag?
You must be english then?
LOVE FROM SCOTLAND

I'm brazilian but I've been in love with appalachian and southern US music since I heard it for the first time as a little kid.
Thank you to the people of Appalachia for creating this unique, historical, mood-lifting, calming, and beautiful music! Many of us Californians have been loving bluegrass for years! 😊😊
i am from south east asian MALAYSIA but i dont know why i love this kind of music...i sooothing to my ears...and it helps mee falls asleep very easy sometimes ..
Bluegrass music is about good times and bad. It’s joyful praise! It’s about being alive.
I love reading the comments here and elsewhere from people around the world expressing their love for American Bluegrass and Country music. It has so much emotion and energy. I have friends in England and for every year on his birthday or Christmas I send him the latest Country or Bluegrass music CD. This site definitely marries the magnificence of Bluegrass with spectacular photography. I was hooked on Bluegrass in the 70s and I started playing the banjo when I was 14 ... I now play the banjo, mandolin, electric and acoustic guitar and electric bass. Long Live Bluegrass !
Native West Virginian now residing in Oklahoma. I didn't realize until coming to Oklahoma how rich with Appalachian heritage certains parts of Oklahoma is . Many Appalachians relocated to Oklahoma to work in the coal mines when coal mining opportunities began to dry up in Appalachia. Not a day goes by that I don't listen to my beloved Bluegrass music .
Im a person of color and when I need inspiration to get stuff done I play country and bluegrass music....I GET ALL MY STUFF DONE PERFECT 💚🌟💯
Why does it matter that you are a "person of color"?
@@andielliott7721 Because wypipo bad
We are all a different color which makes us all a person of color
@@andielliott7721Apparently there's this evil gremlin going around keeping "people of color" from being successful in life, I'm pretty sure that's what they were hinting at here.
It's good working music.😊
My dad was a fiddle player, this kind of music is the best. Gets me on my feet kicking up my heels.
So Glad you enjoy it!
I had an hour of hard weight lifting this morning, at 72, the joint pain made easier with this great all-american music!
All American based on Scottish and Irish reels mate
I'm 52 and all my childhood my father played Blue grass music gospel And Was a singer with many relatives and friends Grateful he taught me how to play, Mandolin, Banjos, Violin Acoustic guitar Even play organ or piano for my mother and family at Xmas grateful hearing it again God bless
I'm 57 years old and only just discoverend this sort of music and I feel like I've lived 30years in the darkness.Love the banjos.❤
I grew up with Sat nt Grand Ole Opry, fake Pro wrestling and hunting,fishing the headwaters of the Louisiana swamp basin. Granpa sold moonshine to the chief of police. This is Soul Music of the Land.
I just love banjo. Like Steve Martin says, you can't be sad hearing a banjo.
Better late than never!
For Any Good Music....
Look up the band, "yes ma'am ". You're welcome
I used to live in eastern Kentucky was around coal miners and farmers it that area have always loved bluegrass but the pictures bring back a lot of memories for this 80 year old
my relatives are central kaintuck, southern illinois and east tennessee. i sing mountains, rivers and God's green earth
I'm russian, love bluegrass music.
America the beautiful rising with each one of you. Those pictures are gold and the tunes… I gotta dance right now ❣️
bluegrass is by far the best music genre
Yaaaaeeeee! Son I found heaven rolling over that banjo! These mountains are home to me now and will never come down. Keep picking!❤️
I grew up around Bluegrass music my father was a foxhunter we had a place over on Green Rd in Brown Co. Indiana Bill Monroe was also a foxhunter and a friend of my dad's same birthday but Mr. Bill was 13 years older than my dad John C. ( Jack ) Warren miss my dad and Mr. Bill but the music and memories live on ...
Sending love from an old coal mining town in Yorkshire UK to my patriot cousins over the pond. I hear the same sounds I bounced on my grandpa's knee in this wonderful mix of very noticeable Scots Irish music, you took something great and made it fantastic. Love n respect my friends in these trying times. We too in Yorkshire felt the coal industry decimated by government. When our forefathers emigrated to America they had to travel light n music was the thing that they took with them to remember home before establishing a better life. Peace n God bless to y'all
My dad's side of the family came over here to America from Yorkshire! I really need to visit your beautiful land one day.
I was into rock and metal, and I thought that I was pretty good until I accepted an invitation to join a bluegrass band. I had to do some serious woodshedding just to get myself in the same league musically; these folks are MONSTER players!!
Great upload: thank you!
So cool Sean!!!
Love to hear some of your band! I need one I can really latch on to. I sing a little bit and play a little bit of blues harp. Alison Krauss is one of my favorites. She's on top of the top! And her whole band is as one. G o n n a leave California. I am Oregon native but my mom and sisters are Idaho. Got any ideas haha no kidding! Take care and please keep on following that inner urge!
Yes! I agree with 'The great Gazoo's comment! You should check out Billy Strings!
@@n01uknw I love Billy Strings...fantastic picker! :)
@@lorriross3885 Thank you for the nice reply! I'm sorry that the bluegrass band I joined isn't together now, but I'm still hooked on bluegrass music (among other kinds) ;)
@The Great Gazoo Yeah, I love Billy Strings...awesome picker!
Im from San Diego and I too love blue grass. Makes my heart happy.
I retired into this place a little over six years ago and the smile hasn't left my face since. It really is this beautiful and relaxed.
It's wonderful for sure! :)
@@VisualMelodies
A year ago I discovered Appalachian WV lived in Florida for 30 years, now retired in the mountains love the people and the beauty of nature. I am looking forward to learning to play the banjo . Great pictures along the music.
Hello i'm from Portugal and I've always liked bluegrass music
I played Celtic fiddle and flute in my younger years but could never master the bluegrass style of fiddling. I’m now 77 and part disabled from a cycling accident. I do so miss my music making, so a huge thankyou for this uplifting music and amazing Appalachian scenic views. Wish I could visit but the busfare from Australia is too exy.
Save your money and then hitchhike up when you get. To America
Maybe I should. Uplifted by bluegrass 🎶
Stephen..it isn't the fiddle but have you considered trying the Appalachian/mountain dulcimer? Good hand can do the fretting and the bad one can strum.. lots of videos on TH-cam
hard lives = good music
Music is peaceful, calming and healing amidst the endless chaos and nonsense of this world. Thank you!
Banjo is a beautiful instrument. Love the sound.
As a old Rhodesian, I luv this music. History cannot be changed.
I'm 57 and Bluegrass still fills my soul.Always and Forever...from Chicago, Illinois.
Then you'd like the song "Blueridge Mountain Girl" Just google it and you'll find a version. I recommend Kevin McKinnon's Bluegrass Basement Jam one.
That banjo and jaw harp @ 52:30 is perfect . I could listen to all day !
Southwest Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains here, THE REAL VIRGINIA!! This is the music of MY PEOPLE!! My ancestors have been in these Mountains for 250+ years........Am I proud?? Dang straight!!!
I moved away from Clintwood, Virginia - a sleepy, coal mining town deep in Appalachia. My heart is still in those mountains and always will be.
My plants love this album. They are honesty at their perkiest while this album plays in the nursery
Sitting on the back porch overlooking the Smoky Mountains at an AirBB in Pigeon Forge Tennessee enjoying this ! Perfect scenery !
Appalachian folks can survive anything!! Love this
I am certain I was an American in a past life. The music, the life, the people, I find them so relatable. When I visited the US the first time in 2018, I had a weird feeling of being home.
It’s mainly because we’re human and made in the image of God. So we have an undeniable likeness. Were able to relate to one another more, depending on our past influences.
hey dude, I have the same feelings whe I'm on that continent. Cheers from France
I was a goat in a past life
@@frederickchevallier9958 and i remember slow roasting you in Texas
@@frederickchevallier9958 what breed of goat , and I donot want to be sacrificed for any faith ..
I don't consider myself a country fan but I do enjoy these old timey bluegrass tunes. It's like going back in time to when my ancestors probably played these songs or danced to them.
My life, my music, my mountains, and my family. Southern East Tennessee is my home!
Ain't nothing like sitting out on the porch watching the wildlife, they're everywhere here in Eastern KY. And listening to Bluegrass, This is really good thanks for putting it out!
Agree ❤😊
My two rescue doggies, one from North Carolina, one from Tennessee, chill out when I played this video…❤❤❤
First 6 seconds and I'm already taking a deep breath and more relaxed. Thanks brothers and sisters.
I think I was born in this area on my previous life, because I like the scenery and the music.
LOVE me some Appalachian music 🎶
There's just something about it that does it for me.
Peace
Didn't realize how much I needed to hear this. Thank you for putting this together.
I love this music .....together of country is simple fantastic!
You may leave the mountains but the mountains never leave you. Born and raised in these mountains but had to move away for job opportunities. Love and miss them and hope we can move back one day. Listening to this reminds me of home. ❤
I am a native Texan bluegrass music is what I grew up listening to with my grandparents who are also native Texans I am adopted this music helps me relax I have autism
Bluegrass music always makes me smile....thank you...from Ontario Canada!
Hey how are you doing today??
Glad I found this playlist. Really brings out that inner peace when paired with a river, campfire and your dog.
One of my favorite music!!!!!!!!! You go Blue Grass☺️🤗 💞Love ❤️ and Golden Years and let's not for get Motown
i don't know nothing about that music but i'm lovin it! it's so chill, relaxing and peaceful. Greetings from Switzerland...

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching. ☺️

True American people before they started to change into transhumanist civilization had good folks music. Let them return to their roots and the planet will be more safe! Make America folk again! Cheers from Eurasia!
That's an incredibly idealistic idea of what America should be. We are a melting pot and always evolving. Let AMERICAN VALUES REIGN. Manifest your own destiny and aide to those in need but not to our own. We as US citizens are better than handouts.
@@f3eralamen to that brother
@@f3eral It's a better idea of what America should be than a giant shopping mall full of third world people in sports clothes.
society moving forward isn't doing anything to music you goof, you just don't know where to look to find new artists of the old ways
@@spicysalad3013 Yes it is, the media pushes black culture onto us 24 hours a day.
I could listen to this all day🎻🪕
Hi from France 🙋♂️ 🇫🇷 !!!
Thank you so much for this marvellous compilation 🎼 🎻 🎻 ...
I would be very grateful if you could provide at least THE TITLE OF EACH TUNE, PLEASE !!!!! 🙏🤠🙏
Thank you very much in advance !
I love bluegrass because it reminds me of home. 😊
stumbled upon the bluegrass style recently and can't stop listening.
Have loved old time and bluegrass music for many years. Nothing better than listening to this music, holding the one you love close on a Rainey night. Oh yeah, my kind of music.
@@stefandieter4044 I am hanging in there. Very cold right now. Wind chill at 32 degrees. Very tired last night but not so tired that I couldn't spend alittle time on my u tube listening to good music and joining in with my harmonicas.

Wow, thats very FINE MUSIC! THANKS. John P.
You've gone and made me homesick. But I love it. Thanks for sharing.
I played 5-string banjo for years until arthritis got my hands tied up. This music is so relaxing and reminds me of playing bluegrass 40 years ago. Thanks for posting this!
Hey how are you doing today??
If you want to get back on your banjo, GET OFF of ALL beet and cane sugar and minimize fruits; then reduce carbs and consume more eggs, animal protein and fats. Absolutely cut all veg oils except olive, avocado and coconut; todays processed veg oils are no longer related to vegetables in any way and the human body has no way to use these resultant chemicals. Worked for me no more joint problems at 82yo and back wrenching on old cars (and a few newer ones).
I lived in the Appalachian mountains for 5 years and this brought me back to my cabin.
I was born and raised in the mountains 😊
I have this old apple tree that puts out apples every two years. They look like crab apples, but they are so sweet. When I get those apples, I get excited. It's a lot of work slicing and processing. I love listening to some good old bluegrass music to make me think of the old traditions of families fiddling and processing their harvests. It occurred to me as I was working and in a mixture of deep concentration and fantasy that as I am listening, I didn't have to jump up every five minutes and press skip add. I had to stop everything I was doing and come over to my computer to say Thank You I have had the most wonderful thought filled imaginative evening. Sincerely, Thaddeus F. Meyer
Raise on this music. My Dad played and upright bass, guitar, mandoline and still guitar. Every Saturday night it was music time. We kids are and played games. And DDdys band played music all night. What wonderful memories.
What you don't realize is how nicely that music you listened to - Affected the neurons in your brains, as in increasing them....
@@k.hendrickson8735 so true. I find that interesting
hooked me on the first tune!!! Pictures are also very evocative of a courageous , hard-working people (Wish there were more of them today!!)
AMEN!!!
This music will make your soul well.
😂🎶❤️🔥🎼❤️🔥🌍🎶
I love playing old time mountain-music outdoors, this is perfect for it!🎵🎻🪕🎶♥♥♥
Bluegrass music is the mostly under appreciated in USA
Это настоящая музыка,прекрасная и всеобъемлющая, как небо...
Некоторая народная музыка вашей страны также прекрасна
Love this toe tapping music, and soothes the soul. ❤
I'm Russian and love Bluegrass. Its a great music.
This is beautiful music and played very well.
Beautiful music. Regards from South Africa.
My Mama and dad was born and raised in the Appalachia.
Greetings from Cardiff Wales uk. Fabulous music and photo's, many many thanks🏴🏴
I’ve hiked the Appalachian mountains from the starting point of springer mountain to the top of nc and back down countless times and this music speaks to my soul every time I hear it on the trail.
Stay trekking
