Abstract:

Riley Baugus, of Walkertown near Winston-Salem, is a self-taught banjo player and builder who plucks the ancient melodies of Appalachia. His parents were not musicians, but they immersed him in this style of music from an early age. The first instrument he mastered was the fiddle, followed by the guitar and banjo.
