    My mother's favorite! My mother was in a member of her choir for many many years in her church and when she passed away a few years ago a good friend of hers from her choir days sang this song at her service and also at her grave side it is beautiful I have never heard it before I didn't know it was my mother's favorite song until she passed away and I'm very thankful that I know that you guys sing it I love the way

    My Daddy also a Pressley was from the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. I grew up listening to all these beautiful songs! My favorite my Daddy played and sang was Orange Blossom Special and Angel Mother. He was a self taught gifted mandolin and guitar player. You girls are so talented. Thanks for keeping the beautiful Appalachian music going!

    My dad had his own bluegrass band and he knew tons of old fetal tunes. He never learned how to read music because he played by ear until he was 65 and he learned how to read music. I went out to his house one day and he was sitting out underneath the oak tree with a music stand and said do you want to hear a Scottish real? I said sure and he said I just learned how to read music a little bit ago so I might not get it perfect. Sounded perfect to me

    I just love you sweet gals. So glad I found you. Yep, I went through Brasstown when I lived right over in Martins Creek when I came to Franklin to visit mom and dad. Beautiful music!!!! All my Anderson folk (Scots Irish) played everything. We are all musically inclined. I used to play a tiny bit of piano and organ. Couldn’t anymore, I don’t think. But I’m eclectic on what I like. Your tunes bring back so many memories. 😊❤

    I live in London in the U.K. I have been a folk dance and music enthusiast for over 30 years. I like your style very much. I have followed Carter Family songs and also Johnny Cash. It did not take to long for my ear to become attuned to your accent. I do enjoy researching American Folk music on UA-cam.
    I hope to hear more of your family.

    You have the habit of bringing tears to my eyes. In a good way. My mother in law grew up in West Virginia and her favorite hymn was "In the Garden" We played it at her funeral. I wish we had this rendition to play at the time. Angelic singing.
