Here's what I appreciate about this channel. Most people, naturally, interview elders to hear their thoughts and views. You interviewed a younger generation. As she said, "history is now, and in the future". You have given us the gift of their views for them, and their future families, to see and hear. What a unique gift.

One thing I really appreciate about y’all… you know how lucky you are to have the heritage and to have a love of your heritage!

They are just flat out lucky to have each other. To have a sibling to play with is like gold. To have anyone to play with at is extremely lucky. I’m stuck in an Appalachian town with 1500 people and no one plays anything.

These girls are so talented. Pure talent.

"Blood harmony" - that's exactly the term I thought when the girls started to sing. Voices of a natural kinship born to blend well together.

The mother is an excellent moderator and the two young ladies so well spoken and composed. Thanks for sharing your experiences and the beautiful singing and playing.

I am so proud of her for sharing her talents and her enthusiasm with so many for so long. Her goal has always been to lead students toward discovering their own musicality. You girls inspire others in your own way. Please keep playing and showing others the joy that can be had.

Thanks for the memories of growing up in WV. 😘

Your girls have a certain ring to their voices that make even their speaking voices sound musical. Your whole family is beautiful inside and out and I suspect it has to do with your faith in God. You prove "blessed are the poor" to be true, not necessarily financially poor, but humble, tied to the earth, family oriented and rejoicing in simple pleasures like music and rock hunting.

Great music. Duet was wonderful. They both are so sweet and real. I miss the old school Appalachian values and temperment these young women are preserving. You dont see it much anymore. And I have to mention that all of these traits start at home and come from their parents. Really nice to hear the fiddle being played along with the guitar at the end. Thank you for making me smile 🇼🇸👍🎶🎼🎻🎸

The girls made it their own with their harmonies.

I was raised by my grandma. She was raised in the Martin Branch holler and around Caney. I can still hear her singing that song. I started playing at 7 years old. learned to sing, as well as play guitar and mandolin, sitting on a front porch much like the one ya'll are sitting on. All of the family would come and we'd have a big dinner, then sit out on the porch playing music well into the night.

I am from California and I want to thank you so much for sharing. Your voices are being heard across the land. Bless y’all.

I'm so glad to hear these young folks are playing this kind of music. Very talented young ladies.

Someone has been loving these two priceles musicians since they were babies, and it seems such love is still flowing. Such a priviledge to listen to their memories of sleeping with theirs ears on the floor listening to the music below. Besides their music and voice, there is such a cofidence in their eyes, and in the energy of their attention that is seldom seen among people! Their posture towards life is such a joy to see.

They are SO fun. :D It's so wonderful to hear from their perspectives, the twin dynamic is extra special.

Katie, I agree with you. I learned to read music first. I played saxophone in school. But when I went to West Virginia for a summer, I was asked to jam with some other musicians I couldn't do it because I couldn't play without music. You both are such special people. I'm very grateful for your talent and preserving the old music.

Mrs. Tipper and family… Thank you so much for all you do! I stumbled upon your channels by chance and feel so blessed to have done so. I love all your content. I have so much love for you all. Your stories remind me of times in my childhood and upbringing being at family reunions in Ohio and West Virginia… I am 42 and more of a city boy, but I am an outdoorsman and musician myself and your presentation and content is absolutely wonderful. I certainly don’t have the roots or legacy that you folks have and can reflect upon, but something about what you share feels so great and familiar to watch and listen to. Thank you again. I have so much love for you all, so positive and precious. Mrs Tipper reminds me of my grandmother’s stories, although you are so much younger… Katie is my favorite, so goofy and in touch with the land, working with her hands and such. You can tell what great parents you are, raising people right, so rare nowadays. What a wonderful family! Bless you all!

I just drove through West Virginia yesterday for first time in decades. Most beautiful summer drive, even just from the I-70. Went to Church and my local brothers and sisters praised our Lord with lovely Appalachian voices

Beautiful music! Camping in the Appalachian mountains brings great memories. Could listen to their music by a campfire all evening.
