Uncle Dave Macon:1870-1952. Banjoist and songster Uncle Dave Macon is a porthole to America’s rich heritage of songs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and, hence, country music's origins. One of the most colorful characters to ever take the stage, Macon’s vintage selections spiced with hootin, grinnin, good-timin banjo take us back to a time when entertainment, not virtuosity was what people pined for. Not that he wasn’t dexterous - he had nineteen picking styles to his credit. Uncle Dave is priceless folklore personified. Tastier than a helping of succotash washed down with sour mash.
