mimi me eleni me me me yes often

yes we yeah well i you know there are rumors roller coaster on television for fifteen weeks a year that number of tennessee is a small but bustling resort town perched on the northern edge of the great smoky mountains national park but for the past two years the sounds of dancers fiddles and banjos nominee to the town for seven days has gotten hurt plays host to the folk festival of the smoky haze and

tonight sounds of summer will prove conclusively i think that traditional mountain music is still alive and performed well in the mystical mountain ranges hills and hollows of the southeastern united states the folk festival the smoke it is a low pressure informal gathering of drummers because singers and dancers in a very real sense it's a substitute for the shocking beason house raising some house warnings which formally brought not musicians together for mutual exchange of repertoire of ideas that so for now what kind of music your life loving people who make a rhetorical questions or somewhat silly to me but someone asked us can conor a lot anyway the engine of the first question perhaps as implicit in the answer to the second in that the early settlers of the smoke is were immigrants from scotland ireland and england

who poured through the appalachian captured nearly seventeen hundreds to people the southern mountains of the united states i couldn't carry very much from home on the backs when they brought with them the rich heritage of song and then there's no conflict swallowed up by the wilderness and the cut off by the barrier of these are effectively able to preserve the us performance style of that nation live behind the musical theater night as sounds of summer prisons while the music and the people and the company that their method for moving castle is that happened in late is dominant welcome to the folk festivals will be easier and beautiful

those of you to whom the mountain dancing may seem old fashioned and in the modern music may sound strange there's bound worker the question why preserve volvo's when the world is changing so rapidly there are two answers at least to this question the first comes from john jacob niles the undisputed dean of american pioneers folk song collectors who appeared last year a first for the festival of the smokers he said quote i believe that every man woman and child on earth has a god given right to come into contact with then benefit by the literature legend lore poetry and music rising from the language he speaks for the race which he belongs the second that comes from gene davis chilling we will see before and the second half was the founder of this festival she said is intended to preserve our creative mode and traditions for our youngsters though our modern folk traditions of aereo to the children the music is often you

sounds of summer would continue probably folk festival of those will outgrow cause for station identification further you're the piano even though many great modern artists have died and many had been lured away by the financial inducements of country western puma nashville there are still plenty of young men and women are

capable of maintaining the high caliber of stringed instrument technique traditionally require by modern music modern string instruments document long fast runs rapid intricate fingering complicated picking broad repertoire and lots of stamina not many of the folk singers and instrumentalists were watching tonight are over thirty mortar ocean twenty it's encouraging to know i think for the country in general and former music in particular but not all the young men of appalachian have fled the minds and farms for the factories the apology the mountain boys are local group of boys that hail from knoxville tenn are terrific bluegrass pickers and sang old our regular jobs during the day but to get together

money romney a fully thought occurred to me watching the film festival and say

well this is an important remember hearing some blandness and ingenuity that the strength of our country and in the past has rested in the enormous racial diversity of its people all of whom have contributed to that possessed the colorful productive phenomenon known as the american culture today we're in some danger in certain areas i think of losing that says that color that the good musicians in the winter garden i respect diversity and tradition they know that the music of the president's most politicians don't seem to recognize the past maybe we can turn the country over to him
