Burr Datz.
Burr was gracious enough to give me a primmer on Old Time music here in Lexington and give me some names of folks who I should talk to. He himself has participated in the music scene here as a guitarist since the early 70's and is graduate of Washington and Lee University--where he collaborated with many musicians. Burr gave me many leads as I start out and many names to look up...Odell McGuire, James Leva, The Plank Road String Band, and the list rolled on. There are also a number of Summer festivals to plan for. My work is cut out. He mentioned Mike Seeger as someone who brought action and gravitas to the area as well. It was a great introduction for a newbie...thanks Burr.
