Bluegrass

Bert Garvin was a railway worker from Flatwoods, Kentucky, close to the big Russell yards where a number of good musicians used to work. In his youth, Burt heard a great variety of banjo players, ranging from his father's clawhammer style to a number of ‘classical banjo’ virtuosos who played with four fingers. In high school, he became friends with the late fiddler Curley Parker who made a number of pioneer bluegrass recordings.
