Man after all the years of listening to this song by JJ…and of course others…I can’t believe I’m 15 years late to seeing this but that was AWESOME! Much love from Southwest Louisiana sweetheart! I sure hope your career took off! Great job!
"Welcome to the party, pal!" Better late than never. This video is shaky and the audio is muffled and yet it is probably in my Top Ten music videos of all time. The song. The writer. The venue. The singer. The story/ies around the years this took place. It deserves a film or a TV series. I did my bit. I interviewed Almira in 2009 (I think). Google her name and mine and you can find it.
I’m glad I came across this video 13 yrs late and damn this talented 11 yr old young lady who is now around 25 yrs old and probably even more talented was a pleasure to watch and hear and I hope I can find more and hear more of her music out there and there probably are because you can’t stop a young talent like that.
She's grown already ? Another I'll have to watch the progression, looking it up on u-tube. First time I've heard her. June 11, 2023. Didn't know this is old. New to JJ. Grey !✨
we as parents are so proud of our own kids!!! Yet this girl takes my heart and soul with how proud I am of her!! Almira in Hawaii when we come to love a person we Hanai them into our family and you are our family!!!!
Just be proud , live and as we were young even in a talent contest so liery so full of nerves , she stood man , first time seeing this. Last year he got me listening to his music and mainly the river .. not let time pass ..maybe as we did .. the world is changing every day.. a hundred years hopefully their world different than our digging out crayfish fighting preying mantis. Be awesome be proud.
I need to learn more about the Appalachians history. Enjoyed this young child's awesome talent. For my years left, I'll stay engaged in what she's sharing with the world 🌎💙🎵🙏✨
I wasn't looking for this...as a matter of fact...my stumbling upon this little "Gal" was shear coincidence... but as Albert Einstein is quoted to have said.." Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous." Her sweet harmonic tune in the beginning...caught me first...and THEN... when she belted out the tune...I am blown away...my age 72+ . Happy Trails...I wish for this Gal*
I have watched a lot of Almira video's over the past few days, if she does not step on the stage to accept her first Grammy in the next few years, I will be shocked. This folks, is the total package -singer- musician-songwriter-personalty and stage presence. The venues grow quiet with rapt attention as she performs, then explode into applause at the end of her song. The Amazing Almira... TFCTalent.
W👀W... MOST IMPRESSIVE 🎵 THIS YOUNG LADY TRULY HAS THE GOD-GIVEN SPIRIT . Lochloosa is one of my very favorite songs by JJ Gray my opinion is we all have a lochloosa or Appalachia in our hearts a place like no other place we can call home.
Almira, I join your many fans in wishing on you God's guidance and blessings and the best of everything. If anybody ever deserved good things to happen to them, it's you. Stay strong and keep hitting that guitar and blowing that harp. Love and regards from here in the swamp.
Almira , You have true natural talent. I am so sorry your mother was murdered in 2010 . Please make music again. But only if your ready. Your music touched me and helped me heal, maybe it can do the same for you. I can't find anything online about you since your dads first murder trial. You must be an adult now . Maybe 7 years is too soon for you. I will keep making my annual searches to see if your back making music and sharing your gift with the world. I hope you find peace. A longtime fan.
Wow, that was fantastic ! I just switched over from following storm chasers, on a chase. Ended w/o a tornado 🌪️, but finished with a rainbow 🌈, and then sunny skies, all souls, safe. Amen. I started watching True Crime, on Oxygen channel. Rerun. So I thought, listen to a jam or 2. I click over to U-tube and up, first song waiting for me, Appaloosa, (jj.grey/ mofro) but singing is Appalachia. I'm switching from my phone sound, to blue tooth Sony surround sound, as the protege is being announced. Watched as she strode up to the mic, with a guitar, and a harmonica, and in a month brace, ala, Bruce Springsteen. I'm thinking, she's young. Ten, eleven? Guitar, and harmonica. At the same time, huh ? Alright. And...wow ! She's good. I'm familiar with with the gifts youth are talented with, musically. Had children in school choir, plays with instruments, gifted children playing piano, ala. Emily Lidge. But this child, singing this great song, and playing her guitar and harmonica together, she's really good, I was just loving it, her. I'm waiting as she she's singing for a surprise, and there it came, a little throuty growl, like Melissa Ethridge, gosh, I hope I spelled that right. Yes. The child grabbed that song, and made it her own. Man, I enjoyed that. Got out my own harmonica, and and played along, when she wasn't singing. Gosh that did my heart good. Thank you Miss Appalachia. 🙏 I'll definitely listen to that again, as I'm adding it to my special save, category. I believe Miss Appalachia, the World is going to know her ! ✨🎵 Will be a blessing, to get to watch her grow as a person and a music troubadour !🎵 Blessings to all at JJ. Grey and Mofro ! 🙏
My Appalachia/Lochloosa is Holgate, LBI, NJ. Though it has lost its battle with the developers, you can go out in the bay or the ocean and drop a line in. I got chills a couple times listening to this. Thank you.
An extremely bright and talented young lady.
I hope she has found peace in her soul, she deserves it, every bit.
My mind is blown😮 Young lady your soul is an old one. Keep up the great soulful music 🎶 you rock so rock on.❤
