Raw Bluegrass Talent Discovered Deep in the Mountains

I have been excited to post this story. Back in 1965 I was making my first professional documentary for television. Being a young man from Long Island New York, going to the mountains of North Carolina, the Asheville area, Madison County, with the great Bascom Lamar Lunsford as my guide, was a wonderful experience. And the music and the dance and the poetry and the people… just beautiful. I never forgot my time with Obray Ramsey and his wife and I am proud to finally get the chance to describe my time with them to those of you who love mountain music, old-time music, bluegrass music, banjo music, folk music- the music of Appalachia. And to all of you who feel that this time is gone, my friends in the area tell me that it is alive and well and thriving throughout the mountains, with grandchildren of the people in my film carrying on the traditions. So wonderful. Groundhog! Whistle pig! Please continue to support David at Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/allinaday12 Patreon: patreon.com/allinaday Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/david...
