We are lucky to be living in such an age of technology that this music isn't just lost to the air on the porches, garages, and kitchens all across America. Really appreciate what you guys are doing. Paul

I love you guys. I love this song. I can't tell you how many times I have played it with you guys as I learn new ways to fiddle it. It's teaching me how to stay in tempo as I try to master new tricks...and I just appreciate everything about this video. Thanks for sharing it.

This is so laid back. I absolutely love it and now sitting in my kitchen in London trying to learn a few of Jim's lovely touches on the fiddle.. I really like his style..

This by a country mile the best version of this tune i've ever heard...it has a quality that all of the modern electronic stuff lacks...keep up the good work boys... you've made an old fella a little happier... Sláinte.

Hi Guys, You really put a lot of feeling into this wonderful tune. I keep coming back to watch and hear it played again. Thank you.

Beautifully done, you are a talented group of musicians. Thank you for sharing this, it made my day.

This is hands down the best version of this I have heard. Love playing along....Thanks !

Your every piece of music is a great surprise to me. THX Ron

I keep coming back to this video. This is what it's all about. Thanks for sharing.

Best version ever !😊👍👍

Just like Scottish music, very emotional, I love it!

These are the versions of tunes that endure. Sitting together with a few friends and just playing, and7 something quite special happens. Thanks for sharing your 'moment'.

Love this song. My husband learnd this song from you all . Thank you for posting.

So beautiful! I watch it over and over. Love the cat too!

What a wonderful song,this makes my sunday! For the mandolin player special greetings :-), he plays terrific. Greetings, Marie

I love hearing you guys play. Perfect timing.

I can go away in another place listening to you guys Thank you!

So beautiful, reminds me when I was little and the Family would get together and play.

After hearing several versions of this song, I had to learn it on fiddle. I like this version best! Thank you for sharing.

don t know how but I came back here just listing to this very fine musicians They did it so awesome. Bravo Frans

Earl showed up here about 12 or more years ago as a full grown cat in his prime. He wouldn't leave so We gave him a home. I named him Ronald Earl Berry. I name him Ronald after me and Earl because...well he seemed like q cat of his quality needed more than just a first and last name. I started calling him Earl so folks wouldn't think I was talking to myself. Ron is that handsome gentleman with the grey whiskers sitting to the right of the fiddler..lol..I'm glad to hear you like our music..*ron

Beautifully done.........I love playing along with you guys.

Thanks for sharing. Making my house feel very home-y right now!!

A beautiful tune. I enjoy all the choice of songs you boys play, reminds me of home of eastern canada, where I'd the piano for a nice group of fine musicians such you boys!.

very nice brought tears to my eyes

What a great job on a grand tune !!! Thanks !!

I love this Video.. I follow along on my Fiddle.. :)

I had never heard this song quite this way, it is lovely. I save all your tunes. I have only been playing fiddle for 5 years and I love to learn new tunes and play along. Thanks

Like a glass of water from a cool mountain spring. Thanks.

That's is just great guys! You've inspired me to get with it and learn this tune. Great jam!

Such an amazingly beautiful tune...trying to learn it as I'm watching this video.

Wonderful ! Each note is so clear and defined , Thank you for sharing

That's a fine group there...great musicians....

that was so very heavenly beautiful!..very relaxing and oh so beautifully played.........thank u for this lil piece of ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Lovely music and beautifully played !!

What a great clip, thanks for that.

Great job on the mandolin and fiddle I really enjoyed this song

This is a lovely version...wish I could learn it ...It's not the one I know ...but I like this so much better...you all are great.

LOL!! That's my cat Earl. He does like sitting in open cases, and loves pickin'. Sometimes when I can't find him I grab my guitar and pick a little, and he usually comes to sit and listen. So many tunes are played a little different between two different groups, each thinking they a playing it correctly. Over the years I have come to believe they both are....We sure appreciate you spending a little time with us, and taking time to leave a nice comment...*ron

Thanks Marie, now you've made Mike's day. He's only been playing a few months, but is really doing great. Thanks for stopping by. *ron

yall doing a great job love the music thanks..Roy

now, I am crying; it' too strong for me; straight in my favourites as the two others. salutations from france to all the team, Jean

Outstanding.

Great job boys! as always. Tuning in from Traverse City Michigan.

I just want you to know I hang with you guys in your kitchen playing along on my pennywhistle. Thanks for posting I love your well played old tunes and your easy laid back style.

Simply beautiful music.

Hi great group been looking for a group like yours for a long time my kind of music since i moved here to florida hope i get lucky but till then Ill just jam with you guys on you tube don,t stop the music it real good and great musicians .

Beautiful Tune

Mike came in one night and picked it on his mandolin. We all thought it was real pretty, so we videoed it. I had never heard it before, and so we were still working on it at the time...glad you like it and appreciate you taking time to watch...*ron

I second "calilibrarian"s thoughts, I am, on my accordion,playing along also, and your "easy laid back style" makes it easy to learn the song.

Very pretty song. Loved it on the mandolin. Thanks. Gwen

You guys sound so good. Thank you for sharing.

There's also open jams in blountville,tn at the old log house on main street on friday nights, right at the beginning of the "crooked road"

We're glad to have you playin along with us and wish ya could do it here. Thank you very much for visiting and leaving such a nice comment...*ron

Hey Howard, Thanks for coming by and leaving your nice comment. We're glad you like our little tune, and wish you luck learning it...*ron

Nicely done guys !.

Great music!!

Lovely.

Best wishes from the hills of West Virginia! I believe this is our first comment from Greece. Thanks from stopping in...ron and the gang...

@dreamskates Thank you very much for visiting with us. We're glad you like our little tune, and so glad you learned it. This was the first time we had played it together, and the first time I had heard it, so we we're still learning when we recorded this. Come back and visit with us any ol' time..you'll always be welcome here..*ron

I come back to your postings every now and then. This is probably my favorite. A fine picking of this beautiful old British fiddle tune. Listen to Kate Wolf’s version sometime. She wrote lyrics which are as good as the tune.

My Grandpop was a WV fiddler. I grew up in two cultures. summers in the mountains and winters in the flatlands. I saw the old time style of fiddling and the classical. As a reenactor of 1812 I studied on the earlier playing styles. Your Jim plays tin a baroque style in the way he holds the fiddle and the bow. That's where the Old Time stuff came from. And FIDDLE is and English word for that instrument. It was later that the Italian word VIOLIN came into use. so even the word Fiddle is correct. Carry on, brother fiddler.

Top class

After I heard him play it, I looked and found the banjo tab for it. Would like to learn it. Thanks for posting. Gwen

We're glad ya like it. Thanks for visiting with us and leaving a comment....*ron and the gang.... We're near Huntington, West Virginia...

beutefull tune

We sure appreciate you spending some time with us. Although none of us play a pennywhistle, I love the sound of those things things.....wish you could be here to jam with us. Best wishes from the hills...*ron

Thanks for nice comment Rupert. We always appreciate it when you stop by for a listen. Please keep up your good pickin' on that side of the pond. *ron

Beautiful...and I'm referring to the cat...

Love the mandolin sound I am trying to learn it now do you guys get together every week?

Hey CHris, we appreciate the nice comments. We would like very much to have you sit in with us...that would be great fun, but until then, you can play along on youtube.....thanks for watching

Thanks you very much...glad you had a look. Please come back again. *ron

@australianfan Thanks very much Aussie!... I'm always pleased when when someone from down under has a look at our video's. I spent a little time down there when I was young. I would have to act totally different if I came back now at my age...lol..Great country, great people...thanks for visiting with us..*ron

Hi Paul, I hadn't thought of it just like that , but you are right. Many a good time and many a good tune have been lost forever from our memory, or at least clauded by passing years, and in my case, the occasional swig of moonshine. Technology will allow us a revisit... *ron

Yeah, I think you're right!

Very nice!! We've been playing this one at our jams for a while.I learned it a few years ago. We play the B-part a little different and enjoy it so much we play it 2x. (similar to version on locustvalleystring) B-part D// D// D// D//, Em// Em// Bm// Bm// G// G// D// D//, D/G D// A// D// I did enjoy your Bm at beginning of B-part I may use it as a variation :)

Hi John, is nearing Christmas in England too???...small world. Tea does seem to go well with mountnmonkey..thanks for visiting. *ron

LOL!..That's my cat Earl. He a lot like me ...he's been around so long..he hard ol' boy to empress...but he does like his pickin'...thanks for visiting...*ron

nice pace,, I am learning it from you guys,, thanks, looks like a good time was had.

Hey James!! Thanks for watching and for leaving the comment so we know you're playing along. I'm sure glad to know we can help a little in the the learning process. Only a few short years ago folks were pretty much on their own, but now ...lots of tools out their. We have this one on here twice...pretty much the same, but you might want to have a look. We sure appreciate your visit...*ron and guys

Found these, they seem to match Play me a fiddle tune, sing me a song Banish misfortune, my time is not long Midnight on the water so steady and slow Stay up till the morning, one more for the road Midnight on the water, so steady and slow. Let's have another drink and set em up Joe I never thought much of that fancy dancing With my two left feet and my rovin eye But when the band plays so slowly in 3/4 time I could dance with my darling until morning comes

nice job. just subbed to you.

Lovely version, wonderfully played. My favorite kind of music is kitchen music. I wanted to let the previous commenter know that there are lyrics to the song, beautiful sweet lyrics, so if there's a singer in the bunch... Look for Kate Wolf's recording on her "Lines On Paper" album.

Glad you like it NAncy(our little cellebrity song writer, and singer). The cat is Earl..he also likes his pickin'. *ron P.S. I'm glad there no lemit on how many times I can watch your videos....

Do you ever play at the Lincoln in Marion, Va ? I would love to come down if you do. They are having a great increase in shows this year. Contact Mr.t White there.

Hi Lilli, Actually we heard the tune for the first time only recently. Mike found it somewhere and started playing it. We all thought it was a great tune...thanks for watching, and commenting......*ron...

Look up "Tennessee Skyline" Hard Times; they are at leonards in front of the fireplace there at leonards

Thanks Roy. We sure appreciate you dropping in for a visit.

We try to get togather about once a week. That's Mike on the mandolin, he be glad to know you like it......thanks for watching. *ron
