What is living if I can't be free? What is freedom if I can't be me?

youtu.be/32OVlAUiSyM?si=NGMRf4uCA467qax_By Sideline. The lead singer and mandolin player is Troy BOONE, I kid you not. My ancestors in the toe of Virginia were friends with Daniel Boone. They all stayed in a fort there together for a time period for safety. There are lots of Boones in Appalachia...part of the Bible Belt. Deep fried Southern Baptists! I have some cousins who are Baptist preachers and they used to hold revivals every summer...and bring down the fire and brimstone.

Have you heard of a movie The Songcatcher. It's one of my favourites. Here's a clip. In the second segment there's a conversation around a picnic table that seems uncannily like the workers telling the people what to do. Enjoy.

The music of Appalachia.. is very real and a big part of their culture and history.

youtu.be/PTlH8fUwoW8?si=xrmohRfUxQ_3DRmnThe natives have death chants. The Appalachian people do too I guess. There was a lot of Cherokee influence in them hills and maybe that’s why. This song by Billy Strings.is like a death chant. This is Appalachia. But this would fit right into Scotland…

Here's one of my favourite American artists. Sadly her life hit the skids and she has been mostly forgotten. Bob Dylan said she was his favourite musician.
