So polite and bright as a button.

Fascinating though. Such a nice way these people talk and interact with each other.

I like the singing at the end. Whatever the details of his life or body you can hear good in his voice. I think in the long run, simple goodness prevails in memory more than sophistication or fancy words.

Mr. Rogers from Pittsburgh was a plain speaker. He was also quite sophisticated to navigate his world, but not in the doublethink way. More in the way of someone who knows and has gone beyond the entanglement of words. I think this is an amazing clip that shows the power of silence in a group. Simplicity meets glitz and the glitzers by turning mind upon itself.

I had only heard about Fred Rogers, then in school and I heard a graduate student declare that Fred was a genius, so I began to take notice.

It actually evolved from Irish music which is why they sound so similar.

Good footage of the old days around Asheville.

Zydeco music is the same idea, different culture. Trancy, probably inspired with rum rather than moonshine.

Nice selection here to scan through.

Some do, out in the sticks in the hollers between mountains. These days it's called rural poverty. A lot of Asheville has been gentrified. It's a mix of old and new. Property values shot through the roof. A lot of people from the cold northeast have moved to NC, especially the Raleigh area, homogenizing the culture. Interesting thing about NC, if you start in Asheville and head towards the ocean it's downhill all the way for hundreds of miles, easy drive when towing a caravan.
