Appalachian Spring....I'm from Northern Virginia and knew the Shennendoah, Potomac and Tidewaters like the back of my hand, every inlet, shoal and glade.....whenever I hear Appalachian Spring, it literally brings tears to my eyes.
I'm 74 from Albuq. NM and we sang this from our 6th grade school song book---On the...Julie so true... thanks for the recall and music. The reason I am here is because in the nation's weather report this am 3/22/21, the Tom Big B River was mentioned several times----who knew it really existed. Lovely and haunting melody--all these years the words to first stanza are still with me. Thank U for the lovely classroom memories.
I love this music and used to play Tom Bigbee's Waltz on English Concertina. It's one of my forgotten tunes I must re-learn. Sounds wonderful.
You had me as a lifelong fan the first time I heard Ashokan Farewell

a friend who plays English Concertina plays Ashokan Farewell and I first heard him play it on a ZOOM session during last winter.
Ken Burns Civil War changed my daughter’s life.
The first tune I learnt on the fiddle was Tom Bigbee's Waltz from the Jay Ungar Homespun tutorial VHS. A great learning tool.
American music is breathtaking.
Most of the music like this originated in the British Isles.
England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.
Sharon here: So sweet - the harmonies sing through the air so sweetly. Gorgeous arrangements. I attended a Jay Ungar and Molly Mason concert years ago with some fellow stringband members. We all remember it as one of the best concerts we've ever attended ~
I really don't have words for how beautiful this version of Tombigbee Waltz is.
You wrote "beautiful",isn't that sufficient?
Love this song. Played at my wedding. Unfortunately not by them.
Who else in the world plays The Tombigbee Waltz sweeter than this?
I'm not sure anyone plays anything sweeter than this.
Love this song. WVU marching band plays this during halftime.
Wonderful music of my Appalachia area and the evolving musical hearts thereof, Perspectives Ensemble !
Just beautiful...Thank you for sharing this..
Beautiful! I've always loved Simple Gifts, sang it in choir as a young girl. I didn't know the second song but it sounds familiar.
So absolutely beautiful. =]

❤️🙏🏽, strings that tug. Thank you 🎩
The Tombigbee River runs through Alabama.
One of me wedding songs.
Wonderful.
Simple Gifts is a very old English tune probably dating from the 17th Century.
It may be based on an old tune, but it was composed by Joseph Brackett, an elder in a Shaker community, in 1848.
@@tomnystel171 In England it is also known as: Lord of the Dance.
Also a hymn.
@@SuperMikado282Those lyrics were really recent
