Appalachia is in my blood. After my ancestors arrived from Germany in 1717 many migrated into the Appalachian Mountains where they settled. A town in Bloody Harlan County Kentucky sports my family name and like my family is full of characters. So when Linda, Dolly and Emmy got together to sing, they created a magic that was channeled from this special area of the USA. You won't find finer people anywhere else in the world than in these hills.

1965. I was a 23-year-old filmmaker making my first documentary for television. I have never been to the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina but I knew that the music was great from hearing it on the radio. Old man Bascom Lamar Lunsford took me around those mountains and introduced me to fantastic musicians, storytellers, singers, and dancers. This scene was filmed at his home in South Turkey Creek, North Carolina. Today it is one of my most popular video clips and subscribers have asked me to tell the background story. I still feel fortunate to have met these wonderful people and had the opportunity to record just a bit of their lives. You can see more clips from this documentary by searching "Bascom" on my YouTube channel. You can get the entire film at www.amazon.com/dp/B0001LQL5G. #bluegrass #clog dance #Appalachia #North Carolina #mountain music #country music #old time music # Bascom lunsford #folk dancing

While the Appalachian Mountains stretch from parts of Canada to Alabama, the cultural region of Appalachia typically refers only to the central and southern portions ranging from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, south-westerly to the Great Smoky Mountains, and is called home by approximately 25 million people.

Appalachian people are considered a separate culture, made up of many unique backgrounds—Native Americans, Irish, English and Scotch, and then a third descendants of German and Polish immigrants—all blended together across the region.
