about

These recordings, made by Peter Hoover in the early sixties near West Liberty, Kentucky, showcase the exemplary fiddling of Santford Kelly. Then in his sixties, he still retained much of the expertise and showmanship he had earlier employed on the radio as Fiddlin’ Sam Kelly. Clarence Kelly, Santford’s son, years after being given a guitar through a trade his father made involving 6 ducks, later became an influential bluegrass musician. Ricky Skaggs, who grew up in this area of Kentucky, also learned from and was influenced by Santford Kelly. – Peter Hoover

Great playing and choice of tunes. No apologies needed for your interpretations of the tunes as far as I'm concerned. I'm a player and not an ethnomusicologist or historian. I probably re-interpret every tune I learn to make it mine. I have no problem with anyone else doing the same. We wouldn't have regional styles if it this personalizing were't part of the folk process from the getgo. Paul Gitlitz
