Thanks for watching & sharing!...we also love hearing from you in the comments!!
This guy is genuine. I wasn't familiar with Ralph or Nathan Stanley before watching this. I appreciate the way he was raised, his perspective, and how much he loves/respects his heritage.
Excellent! That's wonderful to hear, really appreciate the feedback :)
This is a great man. Love his style of music. Keep up the great work.
Nathan moonshine here give me a shout when you can glad you took after mr.ralph keeping the music going
Love the new channel 😍. Ralph and Ralph Jr. were/are brothers from another mother. Wonder if Nathan has Asked 1 2 B 1. Great knowing more of the family makes music.
Love this video! Fantastic work. Can't wait to watch more.
Thank you so much!
"The Appalachian people are real". This is a fitting title for the first few videos on this channel. I think that's one of several reasons why this interview with Nathan comes across as so agreeable. I'm by nature an introvert and I do not suffer well superficiality, idle chatter, and ostentatious people. There was stuff of real substance in his sharing. The amount of information he conveyed in just over half an hour would be a fitting lesson on the history of musical artists of the region. There is not even a hint of arrogance or bragging or anything like that in how he talked about his family, the musical history of the region, and the mountains he calls home. That impressed me and supported his assertion that he is grounded in his faith. These are wonderful videos that have the capacity to affirm those who know Appalachia and to open up the eyes and ears and minds of those who don't.
I love the way this guy speaks and sounds! I could sit and listen to this guy talk for hours. I truly could. He is a storyteller!! He also reminds me a little bit of Elvis Presley. A very interesting man indeed, with a very interesting family history! I’d love to visit this museum. Fantastic video!!
Thanks so much for taking time to watch!
This is SO fascinating. Nathan just exudes an authenticity and realness of who Appalachian folk are. The history he recounted is wonderful. Some time ago, on the other channel you asked for suggestions on future topics. I asked for something on Appalachian music, so I really appreciate this. I hope there's lots more focus on the music. And now I have to go about familiarizing myself far more with the Stanley Brothers and Nathan. Thanks Josh!! 🥰
You bet, that input did not fall on deaf ears!
Really enjoyed this Nathan! Your papaw would be proud of you carrying on his tradition! Even if someone that doesn’t know you after listening they would know how much you loved him!! Stay true to your roots and keeping singing! As your friend Dolly sings so beautiful I will always love you!
Well said!
This video is incredible! "A three minute song can sometimes do more for a person than a two hour sermon." That's wisdom right there. I love this video, because it gives me insight into how one native Appalachian thinks, speaks, and views the world. Not only that, I've gotten to know an incredible person (a shorter video wouldn't have allowed me to do that). Thank you for putting this video together. I'm a better person because of it.
Interesting.
Thanks!
I enjoy the new journey you are taking us on with this new channel. This man is very fascinating to listen to. I had heard of the Stanley's, but he really brings their story to life. It's like I am right there in person listening to him. A man who seems to really love his family and his roots. Keep these stories coming.
Thanks for the feedback- love hearing that you feel like you're right there in the conversation getting to know the storyteller...that's exactly what we're aiming for. Nathan is a really great person too!
What a papaw!
You forgot to mention North Carolina when you mentioned the hole in country music. lol
