Biographical notes
C.W. "CHARLIE" STRONG (b. 1899), was originally from Lee County, Kentucky, although when he was recorded in the field by Bruce Greene in 1975 he was living in Warren County. In addition to being a fiddler C.W. Strong seems to have been a collector. He is briefly mentioned in scholarly papers for his finding and collecting historical artifacts (including Native American objects from his locale), and for a collection of old and antique bottles and jars. See his tunes "They Swung John Brown from a Sour Apple Tree," "Bonaparte's Retreat (1)" and "Old Bell Ewe and a Little Speckled Wether."
