Well, today we buried the last of Ola Belle's siblings - Darthula Reynolds. There were 13 of them. My father was one. When Ola Belle had her debilitating aneurysm, Darthula took Ola Belle in and cared for her for 15 years until her passing. That generation is now gone. They were a colorful bunch of characters and will be sorely missed.

My condolences, deeply and sincerely. Is this the same Daniel Campbell and wife that ran into a Nashville songwriter at Buck's after Ola Belle's funeral and then gave said songwriter a white rose from the casket and a ride home? It's me! Sherri. Still in TN. Love you guys and it's sad to see the last of that family to go. What a great crew!! We are so blessed to have had them.💕

When I hear these stories and songs and think about the community life that they grew out of and then of think of how today's pop culture is reduced to twits and tweets and such, I feel sorry for what has fallen away under the guise of progress. Thank you whitetop music for posting this.

As a West Virginia hillbilly beginning to play and learn various instruments I have discovered our people's folk music and it is breathtakingly strikingly beautiful. The old timers were tough and hard people, they spent most of their time working from childhood on, yet they had time to make this beautiful poignant music that shows the depths of love, hope sorrow inside them. It is such a shame that our beautiful culture is disappearing from the of this earth. We must not let that happen. There is so much worth preserving. Be proud of who you are, don't be so angry about what you don't have that you forget to be thankful for what you do, and never forget that nothing is orme valuable than time, not even diamonds and gold.

Way to sound so glorious and grateful…..then I look up and see such an uncouth handle name. Hillbilly is accurate for you. You keep that title for yourself. I’ll keep the title of Mountain Folk….Mr. Various Instrument Player.

What a treasure to find on the Ol' KZitem! I absolutely love Ola Belle and think that her "High on a Mountain" may be one of the best mountain folk songs ever written. What a gem of a "Rubin's Train" on this recording. Sweet stuff!!!

Thanks for posting this! I grew up in Chester County, PA, listening to Alex and Ola Belle on WCOJ - "the voice of Chester County". As I grew up I was privileged to get to them and spent time at Campbell's Corner in Oxford, PA. For those who don't know, they broadcast from the rear of the store, and also from the local country music park.
