Thanks to Nick & the Friends of American Old Time Music and Dance for giving me a heads up on the wonderful videos on this fascinating website on the Traditions of North Carolina, including 26 min. individual shows featuring the Banjo, Fiddle, Guitar, Music from the Hills & Old Time Fiddler's Convention.

Folk Ways: The Series
From folk art and folk music to simple pioneer living, many of North Carolina's residents have passed down history and traditions begun by the first state settlers. Folkways, hosted by Grammy Award-winning musician David Holt, introduces some of the people who strive to keep the state's history alive, either with splendid heritage handcrafting or continuing a vintage way of life that first appeared in the state's earlier days.
Get ready to immerse yourself in stories, mystery and great North Carolina culture with an all-new year full of Folkways. Thursday evenings at 9:30 PM, throughout 2007, UNC-TV brings back select episodes of previous seasons of this popular series —from its debut in 1982 to the programs you enjoyed last year.
