User:Jacqke/Clarence Wilson (musician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clarence Remus Wilson was a Rosine, Kentucky farmer[1] who also played the fiddle and five-string banjo.[2] He has been called one of the "greats" of hillbilly music, along with James "Uncle Pen" Vandiver, Kennedy Jones, and Bill Monroe.[3] He also played with Blues musician Arnold Schultz,[4] when Schultz was in town. There is a photo of Schultz and Wilson sitting outside on folding chairs, posing with their instruments, Schultz with his guitar and Wilson with his fiddle.[5]
