Estil C. Ball

About the artist

see E.C. Ball Like so many great musicians in what we generally term 'folk music', I don't feel that Estil Ball got as much recognition as he deserved during his lifetime. It wasn't that nobody was aware of his existence - as early as 1941 he had been recorded by Alan Lomax, and possibly even two or three years prior to that. Lomax had apparently met Ball at an early Galax Fiddler's Convention. Ball lived roughly 30 or so miles from Galax in the tiny community of Rugby
