Description

On many trips to Monticello, Kentucky Clyde Davenport and Clyde Troxell would take me to visit Virgil Anderson (1902-1997), whose house could only be reached by a swinging bridge over a river’s fork. Virgil had played banjo respectably enough to entertain logging camp men at age 10 while serving as water boy. Virgil also learned a great deal from African-American musicians Cuge and Cooney Bertram around Pall Mall, Tennessee. This influenced Virgil’s banjo style towards a bluesy chord technique. In 1923 Virgil married Clyde Troxell’s sister Mabel and they soon moved to their fancifully named Wildcat Rock City farm. In 1931 Virgil formed the Kentucky Wildcats with Clyde Troxell and fiddler John Sharp going to different railroad camps to perform evening musical shows. Given this close relationship, we include here four banjo pieces by Clyde Troxell – Ray Alden
