Dana Lindsey Higgins and Larry Lindsey Collection of James Lindsey and B. C. Goad Audio Recordings

1937-1995

https://finding-aids.lib.unc.edu/20575/

Audio recordings of bluegrass, old-time string band, and early country music from Virginia and North Carolina, particularly folk music in the Galax tradition. Most of the recordings feature B. C. Goad, a white autoharpist who was a member of the string band, Feed Room Five, and James Lindsey, a white musician and the founder, leader, and manager of the bluegrass band, Mountain Ramblers. Dana Lindsey Higgins and Larry Lindsey, white musicians who performed with Mountain Ramblers, compiled the recordings, which consist mostly of musical performances, dubs of 78s and radio programs, interviews, square dances and hoedowns, and live recordings from fiddlers conventions across Virginia and North Carolina, including Fries Fiddlers' Convention, Galax Old Fiddlers' Convention, Independence Fiddlers' Convention, and Union Grove Old Time Fiddlers Convention. The collection also includes practice tapes of Otis Burris, a white old-time fiddler who played with Mountain Ramblers from 1962 to 1968; master recordings of the Virginia based string band, Feed Room Five; and scattered supporting documentation, such as track listings and notes, found with the recordings.
