This is Gusty Wallace, born 1891 playing in the church next door to his house, c. 1972. I learned many great tunes from him, including Old Bob, Bound To Have a Little Fun, and Come Along Boys and Let’s Go To Ananky. Photo by Steve Green
James Hood lived in Scottsville, KY. I met him playing for a square dance at a hippie commune nearby there. Photo c. 1972 by Celia Wyckoff
Milo Biggers ran an old time shoe repair shop in Glasgow, KY. He was the last of an illustrious line of old time fiddlers around Barren County. He also sold me Red Wing brand brogan shoes at half price because I liked fiddle tunes.
This is Red Wilson, Rob Levin and me in Red’s back yard, posing for the newspapers, c. 2001. I played with Red, my nearest musical neighbor, for more than ten years until his death in 2005.
This is Red and me at the Music in The Mountains Folk Festival, just down the road from here, 2001.
