Reference/listening copies of recordings

This collection consists of recordings documenting the performance style and banjo tunes of banjo player Blanche Coldiron, prominently known as "Blanche the Mountain Girl.”  Most of the recordings in the collection are dated from the mid to late 1990s and include practice tapes, home recordings, radio recordings, and recordings of Blanche Coldiron and the Real World String Band. Her performing is also documented in Berea's John Harrod and Celebration of Traditional Music collections.
