Frankham Folklore: Bascom Lamar Lunsford (51* d) RE: Folklore: Bascomb Lamar Lunsford 23 Jul 05


Jack Elliott referred to him as "Bastard Lampoon Lunchfart."

Our experience with him was negative as he was convinced that we were "commonists". He even told that to Red Parham, the amazing rawboned harmonica player who worked with George Pegram. Bascom was not known for his Southern Hospitality.

He was nonetheless a great folk singer. He had a unique banjo style and could deliver a ballad as good as anyone. He was the inspiration for the late Derroll Adams.
