    💭 Some ppl have super-soulful eyes that really communicate other realms; Mother Maybelle had these beautiful eyes. ( Oh, & then there was her amazing guitar playing 😉)

    My father was a hard working farmer but he did not work on Sunday. He would lay on the couch and listen to this music. It was his form of Church.

      Lots of people play like her, but unoriginally- the Carter scrstch is by no means technically complicated even up against the old time musical catalougue- it's the fact that everyone who plays like her now is imitating HER. She did it independently, originally, and first. and that's what makes it and her so so special

      Betty here....the harp is an Oscar Schmidt 'Guitaro' which was manufactured from mid 1960's through the early 1970's. It was introduced during the folk music revival and has 24 strings vs. 36 on the Autoharp. How do I know this???? I have both Guitaro and Autoharp!

    Grand merci à vous d avoir partagé cette magnifique pépite. Je trouve ce petit film très émouvant : les 2 soeurs, plus toutes jeunes, mais dignes, qui ré interprètent leur chanson d une autre manière : tonalité différente, maturité, mais tjrs la même grande maîtrise de leurs instruments et le même plaisir à jouer et chanter. Je trouve Les chants de country toujours très touchants, car composés souvent par des gens simples, sur leur propre histoire, ou celle de leurs proches....😔❤️. Merci à vous.

      They were pals but for many years wouldn't see each other much. Must have been a great event for them both when they met up and I suppose Maybelle would always want them to play and sing. A lot of sadness in the Carters' lives really.

      You could very well be right on that! Woody was a huge fan of the Carters and so many times took their songs, added new words and wrote an entire new song. This Land is Your Land is the best example of that

      Sara lived with Maybelle's family. Her mother died when she was 3.

    • @cross_fire935
      @cross_fire935 4 роки тому +1

      Update to my comment. Sara wasn't raised by Maybelle's family. She and her older sister lived with her mother's sister Melinda Nickels and her husband Milburn. The story that A.P. heard her singing in her Aunts parlor led me to believe it was the Addingtons who were a very musical family.
      Some sites say she was an orphan. I don't think that's true far as I know her father was alive. She had 4 siblings.
      Sara was 11 years older than Maybelle. Although they were cousins I think their musical connection was Ezra Carter, A.P.'s brother.
      Sara & A.P. Sang as a duo for several years. Maybelle formally joined after she married Ezra.
