Jimmie Driftwood's site is no help. Is there a definitive Uncle? |

I couldn't easily identify a grandfather online, but Driftwood's parents were Allie "Ollie" Alena Morris (born Risner) and Neal Hamilton Morris -- perhaps one of them have a Fud/Bud/etc relative. (FWIW, sounds like he says Fud in this recording). Bill Monroe & Doc Watson 08/07/1980 - Bluegrass at White House Aired WAMU-FM |
