As it happens I WAS born in West Virginia, and there right now, my grandfather was a fiddler, and I can't think of a better ambassador to the world for our traditional Appalachian song, music, and dance than Hillary Klug. As joyous as her music and dance is, it does make this old man a bit misty-eyed, the nostalgia part of it, I guess.
I’m a grandmother from NC with deep southern roots going back 300 years! My mother’s family are of Old English Stock and for generations have farmed a large community and township in piedmont NC. My grandmother used to tell me stories of the late 1800s when her parents would hold square dances on Saturday nights on their farm in the very large kitchen of their farmhouse that had a fireplace on each end! She remembered dancing to this very fiddle music! It is wonderful to know that young, talented people like yourself are keeping this part of our history and culture alive!❤️👍🥰
The talent is ridiculous. The ability to do it all at once is a testament to physical genius and hard work. But the joy in it.....that's the crux of it all. That's the best part of everything.
I do believe that lots of us males (and most likely females, also) will find ourselves smitten over the likes of a certain fiddle playin' buck dancin' sweet singin' purty critter...
A lot of people in this country are doing as well as others. And a lot of work has left the country when they pass NAFTA. Tray bills at ruin this country. That's why Donald Trump's here trying to make a difference even with all his opposition.
I find that seeing her playing adds a lot already great music. She takes such obvious pleasure in what she does that she could be half as talented and still be fun to watch. Fortunately for us she is awesomely talented!
She's amazing. Out here in the woods we have a good amount of hillbilly culture, but in The Sierra Nevadas we lack the Scotch/Irish roots for the most part. My family travelled west starting in the 1600's and many landed and stayed in Appalachia. I have an intuitive love that draws me to this sort of thing. As a guitarist of two decades, the coordination this woman displays is mind blowing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you .....Lovely to see an artist REALY enjoying her Work . Singing , boot tapping , and then playing violin . Hope to see this young lady a lot more .
Since I last saw Hillary (about a week ago for me) she has gotten a dress, new boots and added singing to her repertoire. I like it. My mother and my other grandmother were from West Virginia. A beautiful state I have visited many times. I have so many wonderful memories of the time I spent there and one rather unique memory. As a young boy, I went to church in a "holler". I wore my normal going to church suit, as they did in those days, and my polished shoes. I went with my cousin Imogene who showed me the ropes. I was the only one in a suit and believe me, I stuck out like a sore thumb. When they began speaking in tongues, I got scarred and tried to hide in my seat. I laughed about it then and even now but it is a memory that I will never forget. Thanks Hillary, for the memory.
Yes ma'am if I came home to a lady like this every evening playing the fiddle and dancing like that lady Hillary I would never have had a bad day all of my entire life
My husband and l are Australians and just love your hillbilly music and dancing, we live in the bush as we call it in Australia, maybe one day we would love to come over to your hillbilly country living and experience you fantastic music and dancing 😊
I was born in Sevierville TN so this is something that I feel in my soul! Lol. Very well done. And ma'am, you've got a mighty fine form of transportation if you don't mind my sayin so 👍
@@elisabethseaton6521 well, being from TN i suppose it wouldn't be too socially unacceptable for us to be 'kissing cousins' now would it? And thank you, I enjoyed watching you dance. You have some very handsome gams 🤭
Yea and on top of her playing, dancing, and singing, she still has a smile and a very enthusiastic appearance that makes upi want to watch it over and over. Thank you! Hope to see you perform in person over in Dollywood in May or Aprial.
Was wondering if you ever fell off the box..Then the end of the song had to come.... Great stuff and appreciate you putting our style of music out there.
She's so awesome! I couldn't clog and snap my fingers at the same time! Not that I can even clog in the first place. Something about her and this song that is so wholesome. Love it.
I feel proud when I chew gum and run up the stairs at the same time. This is male multi-tasking! But Hillary plays the violin, steps and sings! I am overwhelmed because all three actions she performs perfectly!
This is what I wanted when I told my mom I wanted to learn to fiddle! Love my violin teacher, but she taught classical violin, not fiddle, so I stopped because I didn’t love it. I should look into finding a teacher who teaches fiddle and try and start up again... Look at how much fun she’s having! I want to do that! Keep up the good work!
She does have a nice voice but there is a good reason for no microphone. The voice is meant to be in the "background" with the fiddle being dominant. It is more natural sounding this way.
@@briankelly3931 funny you say that, my ex girlfriend lived on the Ohio/west virginia border, she always said she was from Ohio, I asked why? she said have you ever told anyone youre from west vir. haha
Will you please MARRY ME Miss Hillary ? I promise it would be something that you would never ever regret. You would have a heart true to you for eternity !
@Maxx Damage Aaaaaaaw....... Did the mean little girl with the fiddle send you to your safe space? Did mom bring you a hot pocket and some soy latte, or did she just give it some tit? Music these days IS nothing but sex and violence. Grow up, move out of moms basement, and get the hell over it.
Young Lady you just lifted the spirits of this Old Man. God Bless.
Just the spirit?...🤔😏😏😏😬
Keep it in your pants, Unc...

The dance and music both come from our Celtic roots.
Old NC proud!!!
Now that’s multi tasking.
its friggin hard enough to sing and play at the same time haha
If she would have been making a sandwich while doing all this, then I would have been impressed.
No wonder with this surname.
Klug in german means smart.
👍
I can't localize this way of tap dance. Where is it popular?
🤔
Id fall off that box just trying to stand still.
Brian Baker I can’t walk and chew gum let alone the 3 things she’s doing!!!!!
Same. I think I'm allergic to gravity.
@Brian Baker
Same!
I'd trip on the box when trying to get on it..
If I was on that box.... nevermind.
The talent is ridiculous. The ability to do it all at once is a testament to physical genius and hard work. But the joy in it.....that's the crux of it all. That's the best part of everything.
Picked up a fiddle and strung em in the heart
Hah!
Und meine Auch...
@@HillaryKlug marry me.
I do believe that lots of us males (and most likely females, also) will find ourselves smitten over the likes of a certain fiddle playin' buck dancin' sweet singin' purty critter...
So she sings this gruesome song with her pretty smile? Love it.
And, she doesn't miss a beat with her feet!! 😱
What I love about Hillary’s videos is her back drops showing the close ties to fiddlin music.
She really sets the scene.
@Lindsay Michaels That 8N Ford is NOT trash.

Our love for this type of dance and music, goes back to our Celtic heritage. The heart is connected even if our ears never heard the tune.
That brain is truly multitasking:
Singing, Dancing and Fiddling. That is far more than my slightly used brain can manage.
AND she's not falling off that coffee table.😨. 😁
Was amazed at how she could fiddle and dance at the same time....then she started singing....great talent...👍👍
She is sooooooo good!! I LOVE❤ watching & listening to her play that fiddle!!
This young lady is a one of our country's treasure
I love the huge grin singing that line lol 😂😁
Thank you .....Lovely to see an artist REALY enjoying her
Work . Singing , boot tapping , and then playing violin .
Hope to see this young lady a lot more .
Every time I watch you and hear you, it just puts a big ole smile on my face. You get a thumbs up from me every time!
A world away from England but still brilliant! Thank you Hillary - you're a real inspiration.
This is really great Hillary! I love your singing, dancing and playing your fiddle!
Thanks!

Hello there Hillary. That was grand, real “ole timey”. U is just full of Talent. Thank U for sharing.
Great.
You my lady are in that small percentile of born talent that is truly a gift to humanity. Much love.
Love this young lady. Hope she has a fantastic career. 👏👏
Pure young and free energy - love it so thanks from Sweden

Shalom from Florida! Nice ta see a new hoofer that can sing&play at the same time!
Glory to GOD!!!
I can't stop watching this video. It just puts a smile on my face. Keep it up Hillary! :)
Always a joy to behold this talented and uplifting young lady!
The background reminds me of the old farm. Awesome job as always Hillary
This is someone that should b making millions not what we have now making music..
I'm 26 years old and I find this interestingly satisfying.
A pretty young lady in a dress cloggin' to her fiddlin' and singin' with a kitty cat walking around. My kind of world. Loved it.
Addicted , on my first hit . Thats quite some a hammerin' .
I love the fiddle music combined with the dance steps. Your music makes me smile.
This reminds me so much of John Hartford! Great performance; so glad to see people keeping the style alive!
Same here. John Hartford was amazing.
Good call! She has similar talents and humble demeanor.
What a talent!! Fiddling, clogging AND singing all at once!!
Fabulous!!!
Feel like I am back in hills of East Tennessee! ❤️
😎🇺🇸🗽👍

Brilliant Hillary thank you
Wow, that's so awesome between villain, boots and a cool voice. 🎺✊😎🇺🇸
I like how the cat decided to join in at the end.
Thanks Hillary , always a pleasure to see you do your thing.
Please do “The Orange Blossom Special”
This young lady is absolutely amazing!
Darlin, you just won me over. You got another fan....Merry Christmas
Know the difference between a violin and a fiddle? The fiddle player is almost always smiling. Great job!
I am a down South Irishman (I live by the sea in South East Ireland) and its fantastic for me to see the Irish influence in your beautiful song!
Irish run strong in west virginia
Wow, you rock Hillary, I love your fiddle playing, dancing and singing too! 😍
I'm brazilian, and I think your music is phenomenal ...
Come visit the South, dude.

Hot damn, this was incredible!
She didn't miss a Beat..
Beautiful girl and great execution ,love the music in the country style.

Born and raised in Arkansas. Can confirm lol
SHE WAS KILLING IT!!! UA-cam algorithm strikes again! Totally random but AWESOME 😎
Young lady there is a lot going on, clogging, fiddling, singing and looking really nice with it, thankyou from Wairoa in New Zealand
I Absolutely Love Every single one of Hillarys videos.
She's Absolutely one of a kind and so cute
The next suggested video was “how to make moonshine” lol
@FULL METAL JACKET FMJ... cool
how to cook a good possum stew
How did your moonshine turn out? 😄
Popcorn Sutton got that covered
Yessss!! 😮 you started singing too!!! Omg.. the rhythm and coordination of it all!
I can’t do even one of the things she’s doing. What am I doing with my life?
You're not alone, my friend
Your probably not interbred. Don't beat yourself up about it.
Finding it
It prob'ly helps when you're raised in a family of musicians & get started doing this sort of thing @ about age 5... yathink?
Yea and on top of her playing, dancing, and singing, she still has a smile and a very enthusiastic appearance that makes upi want to watch it over and over. Thank you! Hope to see you perform in person over in Dollywood in May or Aprial.
Mind where ya leave your hammers laying around boys!
Beautiful God Given Talent used in a Delightful way. I love it!!!! ❤
Wish my grandfather was still around to see her he would have loved her
Your grandfather is always there when you think of him... be sure!
What great talent you have. Dancing, singing and dancing at the same time. You're fun to watch and listening to.
Was wondering if you ever fell off the box..Then the end of the song had to come....
Great stuff and appreciate you putting our style of music out there.
To be able to sing, dance and play the violin at the same time is awesome ! Your a very talented young lady!
I'm staying away from you if you pick up a hammer!😹
She's so awesome! I couldn't clog and snap my fingers at the same time! Not that I can even clog in the first place. Something about her and this song that is so wholesome. Love it.
singing, dancing, and fiddling? now that's talented. i'll bet she can cook, too
My God I get tired just watching and listening to her. Talented is an understatement! You go girl, and I'm now a subscriber! God bless.
These kids today and their violent music.
At least there aint no sax
Plenty of sax in the Appalachians 😅
@@amorrissey9264 Mostly between brothers and sisters!
@Fred Flintstone Whoah there man, we're talking strictly saxaphonic instruments here
Al Something: 😂
I feel proud when I chew gum and run up the stairs at the same time. This is male multi-tasking! But Hillary plays the violin, steps and sings! I am overwhelmed because all three actions she performs perfectly!
😂 great!
It's wonderful to see someone really enjoying themselves and their talent. :)
Thank you for sharing.
In a court of law this song would get her convicted
But if I was on the jury I would let her go.!
This is what I wanted when I told my mom I wanted to learn to fiddle! Love my violin teacher, but she taught classical violin, not fiddle, so I stopped because I didn’t love it. I should look into finding a teacher who teaches fiddle and try and start up again... Look at how much fun she’s having! I want to do that! Keep up the good work!
you need a microphone. However it was quite enjoyable
She does have a nice voice but there is a good reason for no microphone. The voice is meant to be in the "background" with the fiddle being dominant. It is more natural sounding this way.
@@randyodom3804 Singing a song in such a way that you can't make out what is being sung....got it.
@@dancingkitty11 No. Her specialty is the fiddle. That is the focal point of her video.
That's incredible! I can barely brush my teeth and look in the mirror at the same time.
Me and my cousin listened to this song, now were married
And everybody likes to kick West Virginians around.
@@briankelly3931 funny you say that, my ex girlfriend lived on the Ohio/west virginia border, she always said she was from Ohio, I asked why? she said have you ever told anyone youre from west vir. haha
@@Miamiflow885 yeah I know they've been short-changed by being stereotyped. I do understand that.
Okay! Beautiful Girl!!! Dancing, playing on violin singing as well in the mean time.
Think of the money she'd make busking, if she isn't doing it already
Wow this honey is a great musician , got great rythym , can strut her stuff , can sing , tap , dance , is super cute and looks a barrel of fun . 10/10
How the hell did i end up here. I was watching liquid flouride thorium reactors and ... yeah. Bravo though. Impressive. Im a new fan now.
❤😂 good song love 💗❤😮
Anybody gives this a Thumbs down I will introduce you to my hammer..
Omg!!! She is amazingly talented and just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
Will you please MARRY ME Miss Hillary ? I promise it would be something that you would never ever regret. You would have a heart true to you for eternity !
Greetings from an Old Man in North Michigan, You just made my day Lady!! Thanks so much.
The people who dislike this are souless and hopeless.
The lyrics are violent and psychopathic. Those are two good reasons to not like it. She is a skilled musician though.
@@illustrious1 what some would call violent and psychopathic others would call down to earth and self sufficient.

Hello Hillary.
Are you single?
I love your personality.
Haha, nice move Jasper.
Hello there Hillary, nice to see you dancing and playing that fiddle. Keep up the great job.
This song is sexist and promotes harming men!
She was really good though.
Now that was a lot of FUN! Thank you! 🙆♂️
Subbed. Liked. Commented. Posted on Reddit. Best thing I have ever seen.
Thoroughly enjoyed that! I will be cruising around Knoxville listening to this for a while😁
