assembly of the lords of the Turkish Border in the city of Kanidža. In Krauss’s published version this assembly occupies 141 lines; Avdo’s text has 1,053 lines.Avdo learned from many men, firstly from his father Ćor Huso Husein of Kolašin "whose reputation seems to have been prodigious". Lord mentions that though Avdo had a great endurance and mastery as a poet, "his voice was not especially good. He was hoarse, and the goiter on the left side of his neck could not have helped." in 1935 Lord asked Međedović to recall a song he heard only once, for this he asked another guslar, Mumin Vlahovljak of Plevlje, to sing his song "Bećiragić Meho", unknown to Međedović. After he heard the song of 2,294 lines, he sung it himself, but made it almost three times longer, 6,313 lines.

In the period of preparation for translation of the epic "The Wedding of Smailagić Meho" lord wrote a book, namely "The Singer of Tales". He wrote about "Avdo Međedović, the guslar". According to Lord, Avdo is a guslar of such qualities that he declares him to be the last among the great Guslars of tradition of oral epics among the Balkan Slavs, a living example of how epic poems could be orally transmitted generation to generation from the antique times.
