American Bluegrass Music with Beautiful Views of the Appalachian Mountains | Scenic Relaxation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2022
- Appalachia Mountains and Bluegrass music go hand in hand in the Appalachian Culture in the USA.
"The origin of bluegrass music can be traced to the people who came to America in the 1600s from Ireland, Scotland, and England and brought with them basic styles of music that are generally considered to be the roots of modern bluegrass music. As the settlers began to move out into North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia, they wrote songs about daily life in the new land. "
We hope you enjoy this bluegrass music as you watch the beautiful sunsets, rivers, forests, and majestic vistas of the Appalachian Mountains.

Much appreciated love safety n health to all
Married a girl from Jackson Co. 60 odd years ago. When she graduated from her tiny Smokey Mountain school, I courted her up there. Laid her to rest up on Water Rock Knob. Smartest person I ever knew. Kept me on the straight and narrow all her life. Miss her. Those mountains bring her back to life. Good night, Irene.
My husband and I always enjoyed bluegrass music. He passed away September, 2022. Took him to the Appalachian museum twice. He absolutely enjoyed himself especially since I just turned him lose up on the first trip and told him this is the surprise I had for you. When we first met, I played the fiddle. So, now that it's just me again I am getting back into my music playing and going to a little restrant in a nearby town and joining in the bluegrass music with friends I've know for many years. Lots of things change for us over the years but the music still stays good!
Take a peek at the Mountain Heritage Center. You will like it. We held hands there mid century and before all the buildings arrived.
You were blessed. She is waiting in heaven.
Cute little story ,may God bless you brother
My aunt Joanie Queen lives in Maryville Tennessee ❤
these people are grounded by history and respectful of the past. They breathe life into the carcass of todays dysfunctional society obsessed with consumerism and indebted financially and spiritually.
💚🤎
It is irresponsible to both ignore the past and neglect the future. Tradition, family, love, gratefulness are all virtues to be encouraged. However if those conflict with the needs of the future then they should take a back seat.
@@jonmartinson6830 no the future must take a back seat.
Well said ! ☺️💗
Nicely put
I am Russian from Russia. I love bluegrass!
❤❤ I'm an asian guy but I love this kind of music. It touches my soul.
❤ ❤❤❤❤❤!!!!
I went to college with a Jamaican dude who loved punk, swing, jazz and Metal. My great great gramma from. SICILY loved hair band music. Music speak to everyone, just depends on our vibe ❤. I'm Sicilian and Irish and love old school rap, bluegrass, metal, doo wop, all of it😊
Bluegrass music is the ONE TRUE sound of America!!! God bless bluegrass and Appalachia forever and ever amen!
@chrisgoodman707, the bluegrass music comes from our Scots-Irish heritage that we brought over and into the Appalachian Mountains. Some of the instruments are even the same. If you listen to Celtic Scots-Irish Music, you'll hear the similarities. If I remember correctly, the banjo was created here. My first instrument was accordion, which I started learning at age 6. By age 9, I was performing in public. My Granddaddy LOVED for me to play what he called the polkas. Way back then I didn't know our heritage. I also play Rhythm Guitar, and am fixing to start learning to play the Tin Whistle. I have played and sang professionally for decades. Enjoy our music!!
BLUE GRASS IS REAL COUNTRY MUSIC
I’m from Kentucky. This bluegrass music is who we are. I grew up with it and it is in my very soul.
What a blessing . I just love it!
Amen
Bluegrass is what country music came from. Greetings from the Ozarks
🪕
My Mother’s “people” moved to Fleming County, Kentucky after fighting in the Revolutionary War. This music is not only part of my heritage, it’s in my blood.
I’m not from Kentucky, but I love it, too.
Whoever thought of this idea thought of a great idea.
… more of this.
I’m a senior boomer city slicker that lives in Canada’s biggest city.
I like Bluegrass.
I watch this vid on my 60” big screen TV while I am having breakfast.
Nothing like starting the day off right!
Amen
Thank you for watching. We actually have plans to release a second Bluegrass episode very soon. 😉
Amen 🙏♥️
♿ Hello, yes, that's me, a man 81 years young in a wheelchair LOVE THIS MUSIC, thank you.
To me this music brings me emotionally closer to God

Mar26/24-Beautiful, Touching my soul so deeply😢. Thank you, Alan
Me too!
ME TOO
I went to Barcelona once and oddly enough a Spanish street performer started to play blue grass on a banjo. He probably figured that there would be many American tourists
I know I should not envy. I do envy families that play music on their porches
I enjoy playing on the front porch in my little small town. I play harmonica and fiddle. Should see some of the looks I get when I'm out there in 40 degree Temps blowing my harmonica to some of this music I bring up on my u tube lol!!!!@
Proud to be Appalachian
Thats awesome! :)
My ancestors are from this area many, many years ago. I was born and raised in Missouri but with the same morals and value of family and life as them. I've never got a chance to visit. I'm 56 yrs old and have stage IV colon, liver and lung cancer. My bucket list includes a trip to see the sunrise and sunset from these beautiful mountains.
I’m sorry about your cancer.
The land is beautiful as is your spirit, obviously. Peace and love. My delight was from the high country on the western edge of NC.
You should come Tracy. I also come from ancestors who roamed and carved out the Wilderness Trail into the Cumberland Gap. I toured the area yesterday, making a long trip from Texas. No regrets. I'm worn out and 70, but so happy to be here and just imagine what it was like for them. ❤❤
@@sundayze If I didn't have stage IV cancer that's incurable I would SOOOO come. I'm in chemo for three days every two weeks and I'm just trying to beat it and show them that miracles happen. I hope to make it some day. I'm glad you had the chance. 😊
@@tracyshoate8114 I’m praying for you, sister! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am going to listen to Blue Grass, in heaven, with my dog Spoon!
Im from the mountains of N.C. BLACK MOUNTAIN, BOONE, ASHEVILLE. GREW UP ON THIS. I'M 65 NOW AND STILL LOVE IT.ALWAYS WILL. GOD BLESS ALL THE MOUNTAIN FOLK!!!!!!
Kinda makes me wonder if we ever past each other's paths and never knew it.I drove 65 BMW motorcycle the cops were always stopping me just to ask about the bike, right friendly being a long haired hard working Jew. Everyone was right friendly and truly excepting, just I had hoped. My body is busted and broken from construction hard to drive my truck far but my bike I can still ride forever just not as radically as then.I still manage to keep the dirty side down.
Blessings 🙏❤️
My mom was born in Buncombe Co nc.mountains .Give me mts over beach any day.Gods country
Thank you from Christchurch New Zealand…
Moonshine flows like the mountain streams. Banjos bang away and echo thru the hollers and hills. Neighbors gather, eat and dance to the music.
People share, no one goes hungry. Everyday is a holiday and every meal is a feast.
Bought the whole darn mountain. Surrounded by hills and hollers, wild game. Hard wood and pines, walnut, and hickory trees. Deer, turkey, squirrels, rabbits, and birds everywhere in the yard.
Almost heaven? This is heaven on earth! All that was missing is this music! Now life is complete!
LOVE FROM PERU❤🇵🇪
I come from a family that grew up with music on the weekends from what I have been told by my mom. She played a guitar, my dad an accordion and mandolin and one of her brothers, a fiddle. Ih her family there were 13 kids, 3 girls and 10 boys. Saturday nights were always full of music and fellowship. Now, my parents have passed away but the music---- just passed right on down. I am 70 years old and my younger brother just a few years behind me. We get together on Thursday nights at a little restaurant call Parkside and jam out. Oh yea!!!!! He plays guitar and I a harmonica along with the other jammer there. I also have grandchildren that have expressed an interest in learning to play. They are truly blessed with God given talent. Will I ever be able to full fill that task? Don't know but I bet I can sure try. Life is good cause God is good ------ all the time!
Good for you, and all your family, enjoy your life, bye.
Is there any way we can come see you play?
Bell Co KY, Bluegrass, and Beautiful
47:17 is a great tune
Hello from Louisville Kentucky!
Hey To Louisville Kentucky!!!! God's Country!!!!
Amen neighbor!
Appalachia proves that you don’t need to be the biggest to have the best views, or the best music
sure would be nice to have a playlist .... oh well Merry Dang Christmas anyway
We do have a bluegrass playlist. :)
Reminds of Scotland every time I hear bluegrass.
@yesenochwasRIGHT, absolutely!! Bluegrass is is Americanized version of our Scots-Irish Music that my ancestors brought over as they came, and settled all throughout the Appalachian mountains.
I love playing and singin' it!!
Going to school 1,800 miles away from home, this music always takes me back to Kentucky.
Hello from Powersburg Kentucky 🌞🙏
Takes me back to the blue ridge SC. I am in Duluth MN but am going to Pickens SC NOV 6. I can't wait to be home.
Thank you for playing this beautiful constructive music --not destructive!
Absolutely!
bluegrass in still in my soul my family would sit around listen to it my great uncle played the bango before he passed away
This music is our sound, these peaks, crags and hollers our home. Proud Scots-Irish WNC Appalachian, six generations worth.
I grew up with Bluegrass and country music living in the country and my parents gave me a old radio and hooked a copper wire up
a hill to a big old tree. Saturday nights I could get Nashville, Wheeling West Virginia, a couple more and that was back in the 40's,50's
I love these mountains. They're my home and many generations of my family before me. We call it God's country
Blessings 🙏 Kentucky ❤️
I thank God that he led me to live in the hills
Blues grass makes me proud to be born in USA Blues grass forever free so keep on rocking Blues grass 🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘
Bluegrass is what I cut my teeth on, and still play Bluegrass gospel music with my friends.
I'd been listened of Blue Grass music since 20 year's ago. I am now 64 ...these make my heart so big in life..I was musician...From THAILAND
Keep listening to the bluegrass music. It's good for the soul!
My Dad’s family roots are all over the NC mountains. He had to leave to find work in the Piedmont but the mountains will always be home. Such a special place!
I've hike through 99.99% of this beautiful land and on the Appalachian trail as well...
be still my heart. dont even grab for your instrument to pick along.JUST SIT AND LISTEN!! beautiful!
Wow, thank you!
My GF, is from the Smokey Mountains. It was her that introduced my to Bluegrass. I admire the music so passionately I bought a Banjo.
Down home.....makes me happy to the bone.... God is good....ty
beautiful and happy music... the mountains from whence cometh our help...
As a 16 year old living in Toronto (1963) I'd drive my 56 Chrysler Windsor Newport around in the middle of the night when my radio would pick up Wheeling West Virginia and that was my introduction to the world of Bluegrass-wonderful memories.
upstate NY my folks did that back in the 60s..it would be mostly at night..I like Blue Grass over Country..
A 56 Chrysler one hell of a ride
Just commenting as a West Virginian. Nice to see someone knows we exist.
I grew up in Potsdam,NY! I would also listen to WWVA in Wheeling!! I loved Lee Moore, The coffee drinking night hawk!! Especially his song “The cat came back!! Miss that Man!,
This music is pretty relaxing.
Love you Harlan Kentucky! Love you Ozarks 🙏🇺🇸🤠🏁
This is beautiful music with beautiful videos, pictures of God's creation!😊😊😊
My father grew up in Yancey County NC. I love the mountains from a small age to this day. He was born there but moved when he was 19 to SC to find work. He was a blacksmith. All these songs make a big impression on me because of him. I have been all over those mountains and still love them, what a beautiful gift from God. Thank you, love the music and culture. KA
Hey! I've got some ancestors from that area! Are you perhaps related to any Petersons, Honeycutts, Gouge's or Greene's on that side of the family?
My grandmother was from Yancey county. She was an Allen Irish ☘️ to the bone . Scott’s lrish and Cherokee on Dad’s side and Irish. Music in the blood . Mom could sing with all her Siblings in church. I played percussion 🥁 in my home town band in chapel hill N.C. Grandma played Church organ. I hope to retire soon and get back to my roots of the Mountains.
Spent part of my young life just southwest of Louisville, KY. Everywhere you look was green and hilly and fresh air. Miss it so much!
Love me some good ole blue grass music and I'm Puerto Rican by birth!
Love this music! My son helped me subscribe! He was super excited to subscribe. He says I love this music. He is 7!
That’s so awesome to hear! Good music truly has no age restrictions or limits. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel.
🤠yee haw! You can’t beat the blue ridge mountains. That’s why I call it home.
Thanks
Home, sweet, home
Front porch and family ❤
Do you ever feel like your soul's true home is somewhere you've never really been?
And a different time and place
I wish I could’ve been on the great planes driving those big ol locomotives when the rail roads were starting to stretch across America
All the time
Yes every time we come up here the mountains r a special place to us.
Wow! I'm putting in a word for east Tennessee! This is our music, too.
Just moving to East TN. No one abuses you there if you Love God and Freedom and Family. I hope to make a friend there, soon! Maybe I’ll run into you at a music event someday! This music has been so healing for my fragile heart as of late. God knew where I needed to be.
"wholesome" when I am doing crafts "crocheting" this is what I listen too? it relaxes me it tends to relax your soul
Some 45 years ago I traveled through the Appalachia on a motorcycle going to every Bluegrass tailgate event. The people were great and the mountains and the morning mist were beautiful. The poverty was bad but they made the best they could wonderful place . The music was great. Might try it again.
Awesome people 💪🇺🇸❤️
What states ?
I've lived in Appalachia since the Summer of '88 and must agree with you. It's a beautiful place with wonderful people. I was born, raised and went to college in Mississippi but the Appalachian people are a far, far better, kinder, more compassionate and a more spiritual people than those I grew up with. It's too bad that the folks of Appalachia continue to vote for politicians who talk a big talk but always sell them and Appalachia out. Breaks your heart for them and for the land.
Bluegrass is just about the best travelin' music there is.
OLD FARMS AND OLD BARNS REMEMBER THE OLD TIMES
THEY NEVER WILL BE BACK
Lived in n.c for 15 years.....love it there....back in central new York now.....bummer....it's been 22 years....I miss it....😪😪😪😪😪😪
Great piece of advice-- move back. You'll be alot happier!
I hear that. My Maternal Grandparents had a Cabin in Crystal Springs, near Elkins, West Virginia that we spent a great deal of time in as kids growing up. It's been over 30 years since I was back there, but this beautiful music certainly does bring back some beautiful memories, as does the beautiful scenery in this lovely video.
We lived in central NY for 30 years. I wish I had moved years ago
Reminds me of my childhood.
Miss those days.
Listening from the mountains of KY.. Def the best music
This music is what heelth my soul and give me Power
Some of the best pickin and sawin!
Listening to this music makes my heart comfortable, greetings from me from Indonesia. Very good
Shall we Dance,Ima Bailamos,World peace Thank you Lord Million s of Blessings, Bend is ones Amen
How beautiful! I LOVE Appalachian ways, videos, music, Appalachian people, nature, and the wilderness! All of it! Bluegrass mountain music! Appalachia all the way!🌲
Got A lot of family in The Cumberland Gap Eastern Kentucky. Live in the Ozarks Missouri Arkansas. This is the Best. Adios 🌄🏁☕
Blues grass born in USA Proud of it's 🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘
Thank y'all for sharing the Beautiful music of the mountains ✌❤ to y'all
Very nice to listen to this while reading Robert Morgan's biography of Daniel Boone, titled "Boone". Any fans of The Bear Grease podcast would probably agree with me, or if you're just a fan of Bluegrass of course.
@48:44 needs more cowbell. Kidding aside, this has been my go-to study music for the past few days, from a banjo lover, please consider making more.
To a great degree, we are all products of our environment and this place is spectacularly beautiful. Americans should be immensely proud of their rich history and their salt of the earth forebears who built the country. Those who are not moved by this, don't belong there. They more than likely are products of a city culture filled with foreigners and drugs rotting from the inside. Omg it's absolutely breathtaking.
DANKE! Grandiose Doku!
Im blessed. I live rigjt down the road from this magnificant place. It truly is gods country. The Music is good too.
Beautiful, beautiful beautiful 💕 i love this beautiful music 🎼🎶 so much.thank you from my heart ❤️😊😊
This Sound is the favorite of bluegrass. Im happy to listen it.
Oh I so love this music . It reminds me of back home growing back in the hills of West Virginia. We were poor as hell but life couldn't have been any better and I would gladly live it again. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories
😊 enjoying the music very much 😁
This music is so relaxin and hearttouchin' ! It makes me also feel a bit homesick.. but i can't explain ...
Homesick is the exact phrase i use as well! Missing a time I never personally experienced
Old souls always feel lost in a sped up world.blessing🙏❤️
I often feel the same beautiful soul. We are the R A R E ... Breed of God and country loving people🙏💯❤️
Music is peaceful, calming and healing amidst the endless chaos and nonsense of this world. Thank you...
I love to hear this soothing bluegrass listen to it every night 🌙
So glad you enjoy it. :)
We just released another bluegrass episode as well just recently.
This is the music from American soil, spirit, culture and values ! 🇺🇸💕
***(Yes I said SOIL), the ground under the feet of Freedom loving Americans!
Yes! We fight to keep our culture.
@@timesthree5757 You damn right we will. Appalachia is the only place left in America that seems to retain it's culture somewhat.
Amen to that. Gets in one's blood from the get-go lol!
My mom’s family came into Ouachita Mountains of the Arkansas
My dad from the Ozarks of Arkansas. This music is in my blood.
