D. Dix Hollis (1861-1927, Alabama) [Phillips]. Hollis was descended from a family of West Alabama planters with large slave holdings. At the age of 10 Hollis learned to fiddle from a family servant and from older fiddlers around Sulligent, Alabama. While studying medicine in Baltimore for 5 months in 1884, he also took lessons from a classical violinist, and after completing his studies he returned to become the town physician of Sulligent. In 1924 he travelled to New York and recorded 12 tunes for Paramount Records.
