I am currently at Berea, researching Asa Martin in order to produce a radio documentary on his life and music. I would love to hear any stories that anyone might know. There is a fairly large collection of his recordings and interviews here, and I recently learned that Gilbert Thomas, former mandolin player for the Cumberland Rangers, might still be living in Richmond Kentucky.

I have also heard that John Harrod retains a number of recordings of Asa.


I will keep this thread updated as to my progress.
