The people who have commented ugly things about these two ladies couldn't even compare to the dirt under their feet. These two ladies were the definition of class and talent. Very unlike some of the fools who felt they needed to say something disrespectful. I have to laugh at people who try to criticize these ladies and act like they know so much. There's a huge difference between being known all over the world and some nobody commenting on a video acting like they know so much when in fact, they know absolutely nothing. Not to mention the gap in the ratio of people who say something nice and complimentary, honoring this wonderul family and the naysayers. I need say no more.

I maybe shouldn't be saying this here and don't wish to sound threatening but to pit it quite bluntly-ypu people who are snarking these ladies-if you had dared to do such a thing openly in the time period and place which these ladies came from in Appalachia, you wouldn't just be making fun of them, you'd be making fun of all of their blood kin as well and the next that anyone would hear of you would be when your rotten carcass was hanging by it's neck from an elm tree down in the holler someplace, with the crows pecking away at it. And nobody would "know anything about it," Mum would be the word and it would just be another unsolved lynching to come occur back there in those hills. These people were raised in a world where respect for ladies and for one's elders was tantamount and you didn't act with disrespect, not if you knew what was good for you.

My own Daddy learned his pluck-strumming from Maybelle - listening to their huge radio they had back then. It was AP who had the obsession and drive. He had the vision. He was always a bit of an outcast, a loner, a bit odd. He had that tremor or palsy. He had a Negro friend. Esley Riddle. Esley had only one leg, but he had an incredible memory for tunes and lyrics. He could hear a song one time and remember it exactly. They went all over those mountains, the hills and hollers of NC and VA, Tenn, and Ky, collecting songs and ballads. Sadly, AP's home life suffered. He seems not to have ben a very good husband or provider -- then that hit stardom and affluence. But AP's personality was still eccentric. His head was in the clouds, so to speak. Sara needed a husband, just an ordinary husband. They both tried, but finally gave up.

What a treasure! That is what the Carter Family was and is an always will be! They were ahead of their time and were trailblazers, revealing what what was in the mountains for generations of all those places in Virginia, Tennessee and other Appalachian mountains! A.P. was probably dead by the time this was recorded but i am sure he was smiling from above. You cannot deny what a gift this group was to country music and to American music in general. Mother Maybelle's "Carter Scratch", i just can't get enough of her self-taught technique, it was so original and so many have and tried to emulate it, even her own daughters, but there's only one Carter who play the "Scratch" and that is Mother Maybelle herself!

Sings with her daughters you can barely hear her for the others sing louder&make sure people hear them.They seem to overpower Mother with their younger, high voices&too if others notice it&Maybelle is playing&singing with a mixed group it's like they put her somewhat behind them and to the side.I REALLY RESENT THAT!!!😥If it had not been for Mother Maybelle Carter teaching her girls to play he autoharp&guitar there may not have been that GREAT CARTER FAMILY singing together as they do.🎸🎶🎼.She was the Head of all of it¬ getting the credit for it.All have great singing voices.Got it from their Mom.Anyone who hasn't listened to Maybelle solo ought to go to Pandora&make a list of "Save" & listen to her singing SOLO.She sings beautifully&I just fell head over heels for her&her singing&the polite way she always thanked other people.But I got on U Tube for I can see them live as on TV on it but can't on Pandora but I still go& listen to it and YT too.I hope this gets posted&others who love The Carter Family will check all out.More enrichment and joy in music,esp The Carters.🎶🎶💖🎸🕊😇🌷

“While the Band is Playing Dixie” 0:03 It was on a day when soldiers wrote lines to those they love To mothers, wives and sweethearts far away When a fair-haired boy sat dreaming of a far-off southern town And a dark-haired maiden waiting day by day While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home" It takes me back to Georgia though I'm far across the foam Once again beside the river with my Mary dear I'll roam While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home" Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home They found it in his pocket, a bloodstained little note A rifle ball had pierced it through and through It began with "Darling Mary, if I don't come home again Remember that my last thoughts were of you" While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home" It takes me back to Georgia though I'm far across the foam Once again beside the river with my Mary dear I'll roam While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home" Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. 👍🏻🎸✌🏻

Anybody who's in the know will tell you Sara Carter was a magnificent vocalist in the style of the old-time balladeer. What was important was clarity, charisma, and storytelling, as well as being on pitch. She pulled it off perfectly! She was to old-time ballads what Enrico Caruso was to opera. It seems deceptively simple, but, if it were, there'd be a million Sara Carters!

From all I've heard, Sara was extremely shy and private, and did not care much for performing or being in public.

Sara and AP divorced in 1939, and the original Carter Family act disbanded in 1943. Sara retired and AP in later years ran a general store in Maces Spring, VA. AP died in relative obscurity in 1960 at the age of 68. By that time, Maybelle had a successful act with her daughters originally billed as "Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters." In later years, Maybelle and her daughters went by the old name "Carter Family."
