expand/collapse Expand/collapse Biographical Information

Bobby McMillon was born 20 December 1951 in Lenoir, N.C. He developed an early appreciation for the traditional stories, ballads, and religious songs performed by his grandparents and other older relatives in the southern Appalachian region and started learning them as a child. He has performed professionally since 1978 as a traditional ballad singer, musician, and storyteller. As a performer, he is best known for his ballad and story renditions about Frankie Silver, to whom he is distantly related. He received a North Carolina Folk Heritage Award in 2000. In addition to continuing the tradition with his own performances, McMillon has collected interviews with and songs and stories from family members, neighbors, and friends since 1968 when he earned his first RCA sound recording machine in his late teens.

3 items.

Processing information: Because the acetate had deteriorated considerably by the time preservation masters were made in 1999, only fair sound quality and completeness were obtained.

Three acetate discs that were given to Bobby McMillon by the widow of Sam Hartley of Caldwell County, N.C. The discs are recordings from the 50th annual shape note singing convention in Hollow Springs, N.C. This convention was held 17 August 1947 at the Hollow Springs Primitive Baptist Church where Bobby McMillon's grandfather served as an Elder. The non-denominational singing began in 1897 and continued to be held every third Sunday in August. On the recordings, an announcer gives context to the songs and singers.
