Hey this is pretty good, but there's so much amazing traditional American folk music from African Americans. You should definitely showcase more of it. I love your format of giving the context and credits to the performers.

I'm definitely open to that. There's already lots of great footage of African American folk music on the Alan Lomax KZitem channel, which seems to be quite popular. That's one of the reasons I haven't focused on it too much.

Cool vid although I think the "workers" are actually in the process of trying to look like they are working for the video. Their shovels mostly don't touch the ground and when they do its not in a meaningful manner. But I still love it.

They have nothing to worry about these days this carry’s on and on to the point of saturation today. What’s troubling is how little blue grass Celtic folk clogging is fading away into oblivion. I was at a show the other night it was an Immediate necessity for me with not much to do that day. It was called Celtic Revival and had a mixture of German Irish Scott’s English Blues and oppressive music. It was about kings taking the peoples lane and enslaving the Irish

There’s plenty of channels dedicated to this type of nonsense. Let’s keep it beautiful and you could just make a secondary channel that features the help.
