Malcolm Smith, PhD – Malcolm falls in line with Folklorists and Musicologists of old sometimes know in the mountains as Songcatchers.  Malcolm grew up in Western Kansas but now calls Medows of Dan Virginia his home.  Malcolm states he is a recovering College Professor, Author, Storyteller, and Musician.  Currently, he is creating a web-based database of over 50 SW Virginia Clawhammer Masters from 1850 to present day.  He will share legends, stories and bios of the men and women who have provided our area with its own special brand of Old Time Banjo playing and will be joined by Jason Phillips, a local fiddler and Web Designer for a tune or two.
