Message:Folk Music helped shape the person I am today. I still get chills when someone says the word 'hootenanny'. I entertained my grandchildren telling them stories about the concerts I attended as a young college student. The New Christy Minstrels was my first.
outskirts...Did your friend buy that clever face mask. As a fan of John Prine and not a fan of djt, I think it would be a wonderful face mask to wear.

Message:This won't appeal to all of you, of course.................but it's jammin'. Masterfully simple, and yet lush at the same time. Better than Johnny done it. In addition to that generally..............she correctly sings "holler" instead of "hollow". They'd run you out of Hazard as a suspicious furriner for using "hollow". (It's probably not more than 75 miles from the Carter Fold to Hazard; half that as the crow flies.)
Putting it in this thread because it's a Jean Ritchie song. I know Norman Blake and Marty Stuart are on this album (and Rodney Crowell, too), but I don't know who's on this cut. Kinda sounds like something Norman would do, but kinda not, too. (Man I miss seeing him perform.)
I'm not gonna take the time to exhaustively search for the artists responsible for the music, but I absolutely love the mix - recorded on their farm, in a log cabin, I think. If anybody knows the personnel on this cut, I'd like to know. I've listened to it at least 15 times in the last 2 hours. Not an exaggeration.

Message:I discovered this one today. First I came across this piano cover:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBqw8tl7Gys&lc=UgwVjH6tdHJ6NJQX4T94AaABAg
Then I landed on a 12-string guitar cover by Igor Presnyakov (linked below). Igor Presnyakov says this:
"Dear Friends! Here is my rendition of a Arslanbek Sultanbekov - Dombra. I like the melody and also the rhytm , 'cause it rocks. Hope you like it too!"

Message:@HopDiriDiriDattiriDittiriDom The YouTube caption which you repeated, "12-string guitar cover by Igor Presnyakov", is misleading. This performance does not sound like a 12-string guitar because only 6 pegs are actually strung.
The guitar Igor is playing does have 12 tuning pegs, but if you look closely or even just listen casually, it is obvious that only 6 strings are sounding.

A comment down below:
"Misirlou" comes from the Turkish word "Mısırlı" taken from Arabic for the word "Egypt". The Turkish suffix "lı" means "Egyptian". The folk song "Misirlou" was known to Arabic musicians and Greek rebetiko musicians. And there are also Armenian, Persian, and Turkish versions of the song.

Message:She's a *very* neat and unique lady. Here's a long, but very well-done story about her and Chris in the Washington Post. "Much more than meets the eye" is an understatement.
(Sister Rosetta Tharpe mention, for outskirts.)

Message:Just discovered this song and artist today. The song qualifies as "old" by my time scale, but all the reviewers of this tune call it folk, so here it shall be.
Dan Reeder. "Clean Elvis".
No idea what it's about.
