about

Wade Ward, of Independence, Virginia, is perhaps best known for his playing in two bands, the Buck Mountain Band and the Bogtrotters (the Library of Congress recorded nearly 200 songs of this band, which included Wade and his brother Crockett Ward, Crockett’s son Fields and their neighbor Alec Dunford). But Wade played in smaller, more intimate settings as well. Here, in Peter Hoover’s recordings from almost half a century ago, is a selection of that music. It gives taste of what it was like in Wade’s living room in those long-ago late summers. – Peter Hoover

I met Dwight back in 1983. He and his then wife Elaine were our best friends in seminary. He taught my husband at the time to play banjo and fiddle. I didn’t touch banjo for close to 40 years. Two years ago started taking banjo lessons from Dwight online. He was my amazing friend and teacher. He was like a big brother to me. He was an amazing banjo player, but he was an even more amazing Christian. He will be sadly missed. dorindasue

This rendition of Virgil Anderson's "Jenny Hang the Kettle On" is wonderful. It perfectly grabs the simplistic beauty of Virgil's version, but has such clarity. Amazing album! Payton Scott
