Swope's Knobs

W. Franklin George
with John Hilt

Frank George, born in Bluefield, W.Va., in 1928, first played a small fiddle and banjo that his father made for him and that his grandfather taught him.

He's come a long way. He has appeared at the Smithsonian and was included in a PBS documentary on traditional music.He has played his music from the hills of Appalachia to the villages of Europe, from the Greenbrier Resort Hotel to the hillside dance halls of the mountains.

This album was originally released in 1977 and features Frank on fiddle, banjo, hammered dulcimer and thigh-slapping, John Hilt on fiddle and vocals, Pat Dunford on banjo, guitar and vocals and John Summers on fiddle.
