@beardlessodin945 Жыл бұрын

I do too. The banjo is so skillful and magical and the tap steps of D Ray White himself, the legend of dancing mountain men, are amazingly good! God bless the Wild and Wonderful White family of West Virginia! Never wanna lose this video? Download it so you never lose it! Google: KZfaq downloader. All the best!

I think the goosebumps are from the perfect timing. Your brain somehow recognizes timing and the complex array of sounds. @@beardlessodin945

@stormbringercoming8105 10 ай бұрын

The reason it gives anyone goosebumps is because it’s real and pure. Both of them are playing with God given talent. They are naturals at what they do. No pyrotechnics, no backup dancers to obscure their weaknesses. They perform because they have to. They perform because they know that what they do, makes others happy and filled with joy. Which in turn brings the artist happy. There are no middle men. Sorry if I am rambling.

Well it sure beats Ricky Nelsons version that was pap for the audience of the 50s. There are dirty versions of this song sung in the same manner and style of D Ray. Usually by men working talking about another mans girl. LOL. He used to walk/dance/sing up chap road to the bar dancing for the kids. This was probably shot at Van high school and im almost certain thats Hasil Adkins as the accompaniment, before he went grey and crazier than he already was.

Have a hard time thinking it will be the same at all without him there. His root-authentic banjo style has been a staple in Logan for decades - since the start. RIP Dunk - you will be very very missed. Pick one out with Bill up there today.

I'm highly impressed at how much of an all around musician D. Ray White was. Back then it was extremely hard to get noticed by the music industry but this man had the musician talent that it takes to make it big. I say this because its obvious tap dancing wasn't his only skill. He can also sing but most importantly he was entertainer. This man worked the audience, making them enjoy his show & his talent.
