Such Beautiful harmonies!!!!
Magníficos ❤
I saw Taj Majal 50 years ago, Electric Ballroom, Atlanta. Great performer! (Thanks to the late, great Alex Cooley. )
talented
Amen yes he did, beautiful song
I'm smiling like an idiot here. Thi is So good!!
My best friend was told she had 3 weeks left to live so I packed up and drove to the hospital where she was and has a recliner chair brought in and slept and sat at her bedside for that 3 weeks. Right before she passed away she woke up and said she was afraid. I told her not to be afraid - because Jesus is here. I told her - and besides - I’ll be right behind her. She looked at me and asked what did I mean. I told her we all have to go someday and to be looking for me. So she asked me - where will I find you? I told her to Meet me at the River. 🙏 She looked at me as I took her hand and she smiled, closed her eyes and took her last breath. I sure miss my best friend that I grew up with and when ever I hear this song I think of her. Thanks for sharing this song with everyone! It’s beautiful!
The future of country blues...
FANTASTIC. Thank you
This is wild I got a cousin named Tony heard that died a long time ago I never forget him cuz he weighed over 500 lb they had to take him to the coop to even weigh him.
I've got a cousin named Jimmy Walker he just got a Old country voice and a truck.
I am a person that posts what a voice tells me for my safety.
I meant some interesting people there you need a 50 50 50 50 drugs are of my past I'm thankful nobody knocks on the door to ask me if I want a 50 50 50 Radisson boys you know I have this old voice did I hear in my head it tells me to get high it shows me pipes.
This song was like hitting hi rocket I remember pulling in there meeting this man his name was Jim he told me he was popcorn Sutton's nephew there's a room that had a handmade wood bed on the internet I looked at the pictures and it was beautiful. I've never been in the second floor moving up to the third I remember it like it was yesterday cuz it was like a big rainbow he came in front of my door
I hear a voice at one time before I went to pigeon forge to a program called Life changers I used to listen to this man the first song that I heard was snake in the grass you're funny cuz when I stay at the Bear mountain Inn
I meet Tim around March 2024 in Fountain NC and didn't realize how influential he was. Very humble guy.He asked me about my interest since I am new in town.Music and Native American flute was the subject.He took my photograph and we had an interesting conversation...Not knowing he was a musician and founder of MMF.He introduced me to Freeman Vines 'Hanging Tree Guitars' and Lakota John was mentioned but never met.I recently started researching Music Maker Foundation and talking with the locals which led me to this interview. Great work..Congrats to Tim and Denise for helping to keep the music alive and the artists.I feel very delighted with gratitude to have the opportunity to have been introduced to your wonderful work. Never have heard of any other music foundation doing such support for the local artists..especially in my town in Fountain 🎉
Drink Smalls was my neighbor. I knew him all my life. He was a great Bluesman
I'm glad that I received him for a barbecue in my house in Porto Alegre, Brazil. He is an amazing musician and human being.
I have only been there one time. I hope to go back again.
Fantastic!
❤❤❤

Where have the Chocolat Drops gone??? I miss them! What a loss to have these talents so difficult or impossible to find!
Sounds great brother , Cheers
Great voice so great. Should’ve won the gold buzzer
No No ! It’s not a sin . Jesus paid for it all . Colossians 2:13.
I love Taj Mahal. I've been listening since the 70's and had 5 of his vinal album's which with 130+ other great artists I lost. I've been rebuilding with CD's and I do have some Taj. ❤
How glad I am to find this! Brillant
Boo Hanks in the opener was awesome!
Bom estar por aqui, ouvindo e vendo este novo momento... Embora saiba que vcs nunca pararam.... Eu, quem estive longe.... ❤
Really cool. Always loved his contributions to the CCDs.
Essie Mae Brooks is wonderful!
This song haunts my soul in all the best ways. I bought a pair of bones 30 years ago and this bones player has encouraged me to learn to play them in public. <3
I have been a fan of Taj Mahal since I was a young teenager in the 70s when I first heard his music/ song. Awesome man.
My Singing Monsters Clackula
This is my favorite song that has a kazoo solo, and 2 jugs solos.
I needed to hear this…wrapping my ears around these fantastic sounds
"I never said a word until he made me..." :D :D :D
Billy Strings played Travelin Man at his concert there in Minneapolis. Now im here
What’s brilliant about Rhiannon Giddens is that you can go on UA-cam and you can search and find her singing a lovely French song with guitar in French and then find her singing Celtic mouth music and then find her singing playing an instrument, writing a musical…. We have a genius talent here❤
As good as it gets
Harp therapy, good for the soul!
This is love!
Rest in Peace Uncle Ron!!
Hmm reminds me of something :)
