I'm a hard rock guy, but I love this stuff too. This is good old fashioned talent, not the pure garbage on the radio today. That lady in green is really enjoying herself, nice and relaxed.
I like almost all sorts of music. From this country music, old time music, to even a bit of jazz. Jazz the least as it 'wanders' off the melody too much for me. I even like country, gospel, rock, rap.
@Uncle Gilbert The origins of traditional Irish music is well documented and is widely known to have originated over 2000 years ago. That was before any English came to America.
It reminds me of when I was a kid mom and dad would move the furniture out of the way and the whole family would dance to whatever. Damn life was so simple no cell phone no computer and we still had a blast.
@Frank Colon Are you serious? I think we need to see more of this. It is the musical history of America. I'd like to see music and dance from all over the US.
My ancestors are Irish. When I hear music like this I don't just smile, I'm up and as we say from the bay in Newfoundland, I step it out. Self taught from watching my father step it out. Sorry, a smile doesn't cut it. A minimum of tapping your feet while sitting and making an attempt while standing, lol. Good luck
Your movements are so fluid, so beautiful and you make it look so effortless, but we, all of your fans, know that to watch you dance, is to watch pure talent and grace!
I live in Ontario Canada , and grew up camping in the eighties , my father played in all the old time fiddle contests , in hensall , petrolia , shellBourne and others , I was lucky to grow up and experience this exact thing , to bad you don't see this much anymore
Love it! Fascinating that the music and dancing appears to be a fusion of Irish, Scots & Northern English and it's morphed into this wonderful music and dancing.
The dancing you referenced is called the "Barnyard Shuffle" I'm from Kentucky that's what the old folks called it. Its actually hard to do requires great cardio.
Yea I live in Northern England of Scottish Irish descent and have travelled both Ireland and Scotland (lot of music pubs) and I can see where American folk music originates .
The Scots Irish brought it over here in the mid-1700's. People from that era brought their music, and because of isolation, has changed a little, but not a lot.
So reminds me of Bluegrass Festival that's in Winfeild Kansas every year! People comes every year from all over the country, n plays together in the camp grounds. Have 4 stages in grandstand area that top groups ,bluegrass play. So much fun. N it's family originated. It's a blast, so friendly!!
@@MissMoonshineDance good rhythm? I thought I could dance until I saw how effortless you made it look, and brightened my day! much love, Miss Moonshine, & you'll dance in my times; Stuartx
you have music Richard. You have memories to savour and imagination to create your post-pandemic life. If you're anywhere near woodland spend some time there and give thanks. The pandemic will pass in time and we will enter a new normal.
God didn’t see fit to give me any talent toward singing, dancing or playing music on any instrument. But he did bless me with this little bitty phone so I could listen and watch others who are blessed.
@@hetrodoxly1203 when will you ever learn , Miss Moonshine often visits Ireland . enjoy th-cam.com/video/Lr2efObjn14/w-d-xo.html show me some english to compare with this , you wont be able to
that's right came over with the mass migrations of Irish mostly in the mid 19th , there were thousands of Irish immigrants working in the cotton mills and coal mines in Lancashire and Yorkshire,
See all the Sleepers parked? That is at least half of what goes on at a 2 or 3 day Bluegrass festival where Bluegrass ensembles come to play, followed by others for 2 or 3 days. In the parking areas you'll find professional performers playing along with home folk.
Wow ! Makes me miss Pilot Mountain, Fancy Gap, ALL this area ! Great playin' all, the dance was great extra treat..Keep playing the music ! ! ! ( Subbed also..Kant wait 4mor!
Nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Love listening to this! this is why I won't put taps on my shoes...on the sidewalk, in the mall, I'd never stop. fiddlers would be my keepers, like a drug. How can you not dance..
This takes me back.... I grew up in Western North Carolina and this flat-footing a lot of people did but the buck dance I remember is where they would swing the leg so much that the knees would come almost up to your chest . I had a cousin that used to travel all around the country with contests for buck dancing .
This does my heart good with all that is going on in the US. GOD please bless and protect this country...that is full of great Americans like these in the video!
Bunch of goddamned idiots to be politicizing music and musicians. Pretty much you are about as UNAmerican as it gets if you consider yourself to be something more than others. Go look up the word community. We are, all of us, Americans, and that ONLY if we do not judge our fellow citizens. I am in Kentucky right now and I see some of the most sophisticated equipment in the world every day that allows you guys to get your devices delivered to you quickly. Y'all have no clue what it took to get this nation to this point if you are traipsing around pissing and moaning and looking for someone to blame for some imagined problem. Like Rodney King said... "Why can't we all get along?"
From Buffalo, New York. I was from the 70's into hard rock n roll but WOW, I was really getting into the music you's were playing, hum ya. With Lady MoonShine, na I don't drink anymore (LOL) but I wouldn't mind joining ya's with a good cup of coffee and a buttered hardroll. Please understand me. I'm not making fun, but ya gotta put Lady MoonShine in BLUEJEANS. Forget about the dress n shorts, BLUEJEANS. I enjoyed this video, Thanks.
Fantastic! Greetings from Texas. Most of my ancestors came here in the mid 1850s but trace our ancestry back to the early 1700s mostly in the North Carolina and Virginia areas. Many crossed the Cumberland gap. No doubt some remained in Appalachia. I admire your bluegrass musical skill. Thanks for sharing!
Nid and Uncle Zebbie use dance to that. They called it the pickle barrell jigs. They make there dance floor out of ole pickle barrells. Even when Nid got arthritis she's still dance 2,3 hours.
She's not just dancing, she is the percussion! 👍🎶
What a lady!!!
Yuuup
What a joy
That was awesome! You had me tapping my feet and clapping my hands. Love from England. 🏴
An Ancient Mariner Yeaaah, Love from Denmark too!!!!
the same here..regards from Germany
Love you Miss Moonshine, although if you lived here in Ireland we'd have to call you Miss Poitin. 🇮🇪
I’m tapping my feet as well, but I’m sitting on my bed. Love the lady Ms Moonshine ❤
I'm a hard rock guy, but I love this stuff too. This is good old fashioned talent, not the pure garbage on the radio today. That lady in green is really enjoying herself, nice and relaxed.
And that is so good to see.
This here takes more skill to play then to be in a marching band god bless the fiddlers
I like almost all sorts of music. From this country music, old time music, to even a bit of jazz. Jazz the least as it 'wanders' off the melody too much for me. I even like country, gospel, rock, rap.
The band seems to light up a little when she started dancing.
Another miserable boomer who can't praise something without complaining about life "today".
Thumbs up from Scotland
Scottish grass is awesome

This music makes me very happy. Beautiful American culture! Greetings from Argentina.
Sehr Gut Kameraten ! Essen und Whiskey !
This culture was bought over by the Irish. This kind of music is still played there today!
@Uncle Gilbert The origins of traditional Irish music is well documented and is widely known to have originated over 2000 years ago. That was before any English came to America.
@@michaelbreslin2403 English traditional music was also around at that time!! Before any white people went to america
this particular tune was composed by a Cajun american - Balfa
Who does not feel good listening and watching?
Happy music.
If that doesn’t induce happy feet nothing will!!!
I'm tapping my foot
Sounds so good when they start off, have to admit there’s something about a dancer engaging on percussion that completes it.
My great uncle born in 1898 would play his fiddle, but the the hobnail boots would start up on the wood. Just made you lean into it.
It's all wonderful! Love the Dancing and the music. From Scotland
Encore!
A major portion of the roots of this 'American' music came from Scotland! As did my family in 1750.
Norther Ireland, Ulster Scots!

@@bobbythompson3544 came from Ireland , they still dance like this today , you want find anything like this from ulster scots in ulster

I grew up like that in Canada too
This music and dancing makes me smile really big. Guess it's my ancestors inside stirring me up.
My ancestors are Irish. When I hear music like this I don't just smile, I'm up and as we say from the bay in Newfoundland, I step it out. Self taught from watching my father step it out.

Add me to that. Fine playing and dancing!
Your movements are so fluid, so beautiful and you make it look so effortless, but we, all of your fans, know that to watch you dance, is to watch pure talent and grace!
This just made my night. Take me away to a place where I magically dance like this and the music is always going!
so sweet a thought

No matter how much you hear it or see it, you cannot tire it even if you hear it a million times
Really, REALLY?
@@anthonytaylor9232 Sure, couple of times and then a break.
You should go to a bluegrass festival. It's very Zen.

Makes you jus wanna get up and start Dancin......
The track gets lively when the foot tapping takes off. Brilliant piece. Great musicians and dancer too.
THanks, Quentin. What kinds guitar do you play?
I just love these old fiddle tunes. The strumer must get ribbon for her steady going. Now I know you guys.
why haven't you subscribed then?
love it, puts a big smile on my face.. what is this tune called.
Indian on a stump Dewey Balfa did this one
You too dumb to read the intro?
Why be nasty, Case?
Brilliant, loved it, the woman doing the tap, fantastic!
This is called Buck Dancing, I believe. Very similar to tap dancing, with older European roots.
Love it! Fascinating that the music and dancing appears to be a fusion of Irish, Scots & Northern English and it's morphed into this wonderful music and dancing.

Yes Sir, my ancestors came from the same areas as yours. Born in Kentucky, a lot of the mountain people there play that kind of music.
The Scots Irish brought it over here in the mid-1700's. People from that era brought their music, and because of isolation, has changed a little, but not a lot.
@@michellekosek1721 Yes I'm aware of that as my ancestors came from that part of the world.

You like our “freedoms” here huh? There at risk temporaraly. Glad to have you sir
I've lived in TN my entire life and i never knew Tennessee clogging was a thing
Them there freedoms, yes those who think they walk on water believe only their ideas of freeDom are real freedoms. Like music it is different
I'm a Cajun down here in Louisiana, love the tapping and the fiddle. God bless y'all, keep up the beautiful harmony.
Hello to you. My best wishes to a real Cajun person. Love and peace from Yorkshire England.

Thats just great stuff love from England 👏👏
What a fine and interesting group of folks.
Now that's fiddle playin and Miss Moonshine is tearing it up. also ,now that's. Country . most likely a little Scotch Irish blood at work here.
