about

In 2019 I was privileged to get to learn from Bobby McMillon through the SouthArts In These Mountains: Folklife Apprenticeship grant. It's a terrifically important new program that pairs an apprentice with a master practitioner of folklife. In Bobby's case I was learning old ballads, folk songs, stories, and other relevant things. One day I had an idea to just ask Bobby point blank, "Well Bobby, what song would you like me to learn?" He didn't ponder on it much before leaning back against his recliner, closing his eyes, and singing this one--which he learned from his great aunt, May "Maw Maw" Phillips. I added the piedmont blues-ish accompaniment.
