Biographical History
Lunsford was particularly noted for his memory collection of 300 ballads, tunes and tales and the establishment in 1927, of the Ashville, North Carolina based Mountain Dance and Folk Festival which has continued to the present time. During his long career, Lunsford practiced law, published a song collection, and made several documentary recordings, while continuing to perform (vocal, banjo, and fiddle), collect songs, and write a few of his own, including "That Good Old Mountain Dew". He traveled to Europe and in 1939, along with other North Carolinians, performed for the Roosevelts and the King and Queen of England at the White House.
