Hi,

I made a painting of Lily May Ledford and the song: Banjo Pickin' Girl. Recently I got to play the song at my art show with her Granddaughter Cari Norris.

I've started doing some research on my blog here: http://richardmattesonsblog.blogspot.com/

She had some connections with important people in folk and country music. Just in my last two posts:

President and Mrs Roosevelt
Lamar Bascom Lunsford
John Lair
Alan Lomax
Orson Welles
Gertrude Knott, founder of the National Folk Festival

I've also been listening to Gems: Lily May Ledford. It has stories, fiddle and banjo songs with just her playing. It's great!

Anyone have any info or stories about her they would like to share!

Thanks,

Richie
