Hi Arkie......That info on the Museum isn't on the net although writing them may get some answers. As I said above, there is some 'bow used at times in Appalachian music and most of that came from Cherokee traditions, but there's very little documentation. (The M of A is one HELLUVA' place ain't it???)

The only part of your story I can vouch for is that I know Patrick Sky taught the mouthbow to Buffy. I recall Peter LaFarge figuring into that story too, but I don't recall how.
