    My daddy grew up in a holler deep in coal country in the Appalachians. He picked up a banjo when he was 8, and played every day all his life. He played clawhammer banjo, too. That was the soundtrack of my raising.

    Beautiful!
    I live in southeastern KY, not too far from the hills of eastern KY. This music is only one step removed from what we call Bluegrass around here. It is haunting and steeped in tradition and lore. Music passed down through time by descendants of immigrants who settled the mountainous areas of Appalachia and the upper south.
    This music is as much a part of the land as those who call this area home.

      Bluegrass is less than a hundred years old. This zero steps removed from what is a much older tradition in the Kentucky mountains.
      The banjo is an African tradition, slaves made them out of gourds and they played them like this and two finger. Banjo is a mispronunciation of the word for the gourd they make banjos out of in africa

    I’m laying in bed and came across this clip. Sent a shiver down my spine. Beautifully haunting. It definitely reminds me of the past, reminds me of struggle, people hardened by time, dust in your eyes and throat, a hard sun beating down, strength and courage - not cuz your brave but because you have no other choice but to be those things. With a song like this, close your eyes and allow one’s mind to think a millions thoughts. Simply magnificent.

    • @supersquigsafy
      @supersquigsafy 10 місяців тому +4

      Please look up “no more the moon shines on Lorena” by blind boy Paxton. This “sweetness” comes from using nylon or sheep guts for strings instead of that steel shit they use in bluegrass and whatnot. The banjo is originally african, the more modern whitewashed iterations of it are great too but fretless gourd banjos sound better than anything I’ve ever heard. Banjo is a mispronunciation of the word they use for the type of gourd they make banjos out of in Africa. The first published book of banjo music was written by some white guy who went to Jamaica and transcribed the music he found there to paper

    • @supersquigsafy

      I’m Irish by blood American by birth. Irish people and black people worked the same fields long ago and the poor Irishmen didn’t have access to their Irish tenor “banjo.” The black irish played Irish jigs on an african banjo and this blending is what created the banjo people think of today

      @@paulflanagan5395 No problem, I've got a huge collection of this kind of music. Some other names you must know are Roscoe Holcomb, Bascom Lamar Lunsford, Elizabeth Cotton, Frank Profit, Hobart Smith & of course Charlie Poole & the North Carolina Ramblers. These are mostly what is called field recordings where people would go into the Appalachian mountains & other areas and document the traditional music with portable recording devices for the Smithsonian Institute.

    I call that a contradictory song, in a good way. It sounds simple, but is complex in its emotion. This could be applied anywhere! I can hear this song played over footage of an old, rural town, or a space station hundreds of years in the future. It’s absolutely amazing.

    Great! I started off learning Scruggs style and never caught the hang of Clawhammer. A kid from Kansas rarely gets to see the real influence of Appalachian and Blue Grass Banjo playing. That's a beautiful banjo you're playing. Thanks, Jack

    So nice. I play drums for a living. I’m a notorious “noodler” I mess around and can play music on piano, bass, violin, harmonica, accordion, all sorts of instruments. I’m lucky enough to have a natural ear for such things. But banjo. This is the first instrument I really want to learn well beside the drums. You sound terrific. Thanks for posting.
