Old-time singer and banjo player, storyteller, traditional gardener
Mary Jane Queen lived in the Caney Fork section of Jackson County. Through her reservoir of traditional knowledge, her gardens, and her songs and stories, she communicated the values and traditions of her upbringing to modern audiences.
Old-time banjo player and singer, folklorist, (1882-1973)
Musician, folklorist, and festival organizer Bascom Lamar Lunsford was born in Madison County. His father was a Confederate veteran from East Tennessee, and his mother came from a Unionist family from Buncombe and Madison Counties. His mother was a ballad singer, and her family included fiddlers and other musicians. When Bascom and his brother Blackwell were children, they learned to play the fiddle, and then as teenagers took up the banjo, which would become Lunsford’s primary instrument.
Bluegrass fiddler, (1933-2024)
Bobby Hicks spent much of his life with a fiddle in hand and a song in his heart. Originally hailing from Catawba County in North Carolina, he called Western North Carolina home. He began his lifelong passion while growing up in a musical family.
Throughout the 1950s, he played with various bands, including Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys. He later traveled with Judy Lynn and Ricky Skaggs and became an award-winning and internationally-known fiddler. Upon retirement, he could be found playing and teaching around Marshall, NC, making sure he could help others enjoy the music he loved so much.
Rare Bird Farm in the mountains of Madison County is an agricultural arts center that hosts performing arts, classes, workshops, and community events, all centered around the ideas of creativity, connection, and collaboration. While not a commercial farm, Rare Bird also raises animals, medicinal plants, and food. We spent some time with Mitchell Davis and Farrah Hoffmire or Rare Bird to learn more.
An intersection of the natural and musical heritage of WNC can be found in the high mountains. Red Spruce (picea rubens) is prominent at altitudes above 5,000 feet in the Southern Appalachians. It’s also one of the primary tonewoods used in traditional construction of mandolins and guitars. For this episode, we spent time with conservationist Marquette Crockett and luthier James Condino to learn more.
*In honor of the late Bobby Hicks, we share this 2023 story from…
