About The Artist
Mac was known as one of the friendliest folks around. Mac has had a long illustrious career that we'll be adding to as we go along here. We'll tell you this personal note that one album he did with Lester Flatt perhaps in the mid 1970's was played to death by us with some of the best bluegrass sounds around. Mac was a native of Virginia, from the foot of White Top Mountain, born near Crimora. He grew up in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. From that kind of atmosphere, he grew up learning the traditional folk music from the farmers, from church and traveling gospel singers. His first guitar was a $3.98 mail order one and after he learned to play it, he began down the road of entertaining the folks at parties, gatherings and fairs. Mac won a radio amateur contest that managed to get him a job on the radio on Saturday nights at a station in Harrisonburg, Virginia. He was working other jobs besides entertaining folks then so he could put aside some money and took a course in radio announcing and then came back to the station to do weekend work. While he was at the Old Dominion Barn Dance in the mid-1950s, he had also appeared regularly on the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport, Louisiana, Knoxville, Tennessee's Tennessee Barn Dance and WSM's Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. It was while he was appearing on the Louisiana Hayride that Dot Records heard him and signed him to a recording contract.
