Abstract:

“Drink houses” were parties that were hosted by individuals who offered a place to buy beer and get together with people and listen to music. Luther Mayer, known as Captain Luke, spent a large portion of his life performing in these drink houses in the Winston-Salem area as an entertainer, musician, and artist.
