"He was an interesting fellow. Smith said. "He was born in southern Missouri in a covered wagon. He had a very large family; his first wife had died. He was in his 80s and his second wife was about 38 or 40. His kids ranged in age from 65 to 14. He knew a lot of really unusual tunes nobody else played."
