Addie Leffew & Claude Wolfenbarger - FRC-509-CD
One day in the early sixties, on the way to track down the maker of my old mountain dulcimer (a fruitless task, as it turned out) in Mountain City, Tennessee, I stopped at the general store in Thorn Hill, Tennessee, and asked if they sold banjo strings. Having heard that they did indeed sell such things, I asked, "Who buys them?" That was my introduction to Claude Wolfenbarger and Addie Leffew, who played 5-string banjo in two very different styles, both learning experiences for me as a budding banjo player.
