I too, feel such sadness for this man; if not for him, would there ever be the great Carter Family legacy that we all love and cherish today? Thank you A.P. ; without you, there would not be, the Carter Dynasty.....he needs to get more credit!
I'm back, I have the music on my computer but enjoy watching the images while listening to AP sing. I never really thought much about AP but by the time I realized what a treasure he had given generations of people he had already left his world. Perhaps one day I will make the journey through the little grave on the green hill side and see if I can harmonize with him.
I wanted to add a comment about the pictures used in the video. The photographer who did the portraits for the Dec. 7th, 1941 edition of Life Magazine that never ran because of Pearl Harbor said that AP Carter was the most exotic man he had ever seen and photographed. The photographer had two portraits that he kept on his desk permanently - one of himself and the other was of AP Carter.
Nice one! A simple arrangement on guitar that brings out the loneliness without becoming sappy. And A.P.'s vocals are perfectly pitched--he doesn't force the listener to feel the blues.
A.P. Carter is a sad person, especially because he is the great power behind (the concept of) The Carter Family (outstanding and wonderful legendary music) furthermore it's a bit pathetic the bond of trust has been broken between A.P., Sara and Maybelle.
Yes, that's true!
Funny too hear A.P. playing the guitar, when you're thinking about all the hours Pleasant and Lesley Riddle spent together under the tree when Riddle tried to learn Pleasant how to play the guitar!
