Description
Book Synopsis Dwight Hamilton Diller is a musician from West Virginia devoted to traditional Appalachian fiddle and banjo music, and a seminary-trained minister steeped in local Christian traditions. For the past 40 years, he has worked to preserve archaic fiddle and banjo tunes, teaching his percussive, primitively rhythmic style to small groups in marathon banjo workshops. This book tells of Diller''s life and music, his personal challenges and his decades of teaching an elusive musical form.
Trade ReviewIt is extremely well written and explained, and gives a solid background to someone that you may have got to know through learning the banjo or fiddle, and his music." - Old Time News, Issue 93, Spring 2018
