New York state, near NYC. I've never been to Pinewoods, but I knew R. David. I sat with him working the gate to the performers' campground at Fox Hollow, and he showed me how to tune my new fiddle. He did learn to play, and I remember him being thrilled to pieces because someone, for the first time, began dancing to a tune he played. He came to session we had in Troy, NY for a while and then he moved out of the area (as did I). I think George Ward might have kept in contact for a while, but I haven't seen him around Mudcat for a while.
