Thread Name: Natchee The Indian
Subject: Natchee The Indian
Hi,

I've been doing some research on old-time country fiddlers and stumbled upon the colorful Natchee the Indian, a trick fiddler who was discovered in the Cincy area in the early 1930s.

He played against some of the top country fiddlers including Clayton McMichen, Clark Kessinger, and Curly Fox. He also supposedly fiddled against Ed Haley and Arthur Smith but I have no info.

I have almost no info on him except the scant info online. From around 1950 until his death in 1970 there's little info.

Also if anyone has any info on promoter Larry Sunbrock (birthdate etc) who booked Natchee until the around 1950 I'd appreciate it.
