Welcome to our
Website!
Many people are not aware of this great old-time
banjo player and his many contributions to the progress and development of banjo
music. Some who know about him say that since Dock learned so much from
black musicians, he is a bridge between the nineteenth century black players and
the twentieth century southern white banjo players. Others admire him for his
unique and interesting playing and singing style, praising him as an innovator.
Whatever may be the truth, Dock is well worth a listen, and if you have never
heard him play and sing, we encourage you to contact the Smithsonian for a
listing of available Folkways recordings.

Kate O'Neill Peters Sturgill learned to play
the organ at age seven and the guitar in her teens. She was also a singer
and songwriter, playing with both "The Lonesome Pine Trailers" and "The
Cumberland Valley Girls."
