This legendary fiddler from Monroe County (pictured right) helped spark the old-time music revival of the late 1900s. His most famous piece, "Over the Waterfall," is now played by fiddlers across the country.

He also played banjo and harmonica, performing everything from old frontier tunes to rags, waltzes, and early bluegrass. Though he never recorded commercially, graduate student Alan Jabbour recorded him in the 1960s, and those tunes spread nationwide through the Hollow Rock String Band. Today, his music lives on through the Library of Congress recordings and countless musicians who still play his tunes.
