I watched Sing Behind The Plow last evening and enjoyed it greatly.
It is an outstanding production and anyone who loves the Folk School and what people have been doing there for decades should get a copy of this DVD.
Hopefully, it will be rebroadcast on UNC-TV and other public stations in the future.
It was nice to see old friends and familiar places and to learn more about the early history of the school.
The John C. Campbell Folk School is one of my favorite places on the planet and attending classes there has the definite possibility of changing your life for the better.
Instead of competing for ranking and grades, students at the Folk School are welcomed into a friendly, supportive atmosphere of learning, trying new things, and helping each other. This supportive environment continues from Morning Song, through the classes, family style meals in the dining hall, and on into the evenings spent talking, dancing, and enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery.
If you immerse yourself in what is available, you may well be a different person at the end of the week.
I highly recommend the Folk School and the Sing Behind The Plow documentary to you.
Sing Behind The Plow will be available for purchase on DVD from the Folk School’s Craft Shop.
