Recording of an informal music session with Dump Fairo, an African American musician from Orange County, N.C., playing blues, gospel, and boogie-woogie piano, and Jasper ("Jack") Minor, an African American blues guitarist from Orange County, N.C. The two men share vocals and sometimes collaborate on different musical numbers. Often one musician will provide his own version of a song after the other has finished. There are some informal conversations in which Minor talks about his early musical experiences, construction and restaurant work, and his retirement, interspersed with the music.

4 sound recordings.
