Mountains of Songs © 2012 by Wayne Erbsen
Hank Williams was once quoted as saying, ―You got to have smelt a lot
of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly.‖ If Hank was right, then
what I did today puts me over the top into the ranks of genuine hillbillies.
It all started when I got back from a week of fiddling and singing at the
Appalachian Stringband Festival in Clifftop, West Virginia. After I barely
had a chance to settle into my normal routine at home, my wife, Barbara,
said she had a ―honey do‖ list for me. The good news was that there was
only one thing on the list. The bad news was that I needed to move an
enormous truckload of manure. Armed only with a shovel and a wheelbar-
row, I began moving the manure mountain. To pass the time, of course, I
started singing., but I couldn’t think of a single song about manure. With
its deep roots in rural America, you would think they’d be lots of blue-
grass songs about this meaningful subject. If only I knew a song about ma-
nure, I was convinced I could sing it now with real feeling! When I came up short of manure songs, I realized that I knew a pile of
songs that contained the words ―mountain‖ or ―hills.‖ Here are some of
the songs that I thought of as I shoveled.
After I finished moving the mountain of manure, I started wondering if
the legendary musicians who picked and sang bluegrass and old-time
mountain music actually lived in the mountains. I compiled two lists, one
of bluegrass musicians, and a second one of old-time musicians. Under
each entry, I included where they were born, and the elevation. Interest-
ingly enough, Bill Monroe ranks second from the bottom in terms of ele-
vation, right above Don Reno. Raymond Fairchild gets the prize for living
at the highest elevation, 3020'. The average elevation for these particular
bluegrass musicians is 1354'. For the old-time musicians, Charlie Poole lived at the lowest elevation
at 591' and Albert Hash gets the blue ribbon for having lived at the highest
elevation, 3638'. When I tallied up the average elevation of these old-time
musicians, I came up with 1655'. What valid conclusions can we draw from this non-scientific survey?
None, probably. But we did learn that the old-time mountain musicians
did live more in the mountains than did the bluegrass musicians. Either
way, we did learn that this ain’t no flatlander music.
